Strafe Ski Outerwear Kit: Nomad Jacket, Nomad Bibs and Tech Crew Fleece

Introduction

Strafe Outerwear has quietly built a loyal following in Aspen, where the brand’s headquarters sits at the base of Highlands. For this season’s kit, the lineup consists of three pieces: the new Tech Crew fleece layer, the Nomad Bib, and the Nomad Jacket, all in a white and green colorway that ranks among the best-looking combos the brand has produced. Here is what each piece brings to the table.

The New Tech Crew Fleece Layer

The Tech Crew is a new layering piece for the brand this year, a fleece insulated with PrimaLoft. It comes in a light blue pinstripe style, feels genuinely cozy, and is noticeably warm even before it gets layered under a shell. A zippered chest pocket up top handles the small items you want to keep within reach, and a brand patch on the arm completes the look. As a mid-layer to pair with the Nomad shell pieces on colder days, it slots in naturally.

Strafe Nomad Bib: Baggy Fit, Big Pockets

Green is a favorite color for a lot of riders, and the Nomad Bib in this colorway makes a strong case as one of the best-looking bibs out there. The Nomad line is the baggiest fit the brand makes, with a super stretchy upper and a touch of stretch in the shell fabric itself, which keeps the fit comfortable even while it looks oversized.

The shell fabric is eVent, a top competitor to Gore-Tex. It is just as waterproof but slightly less rigid, so it is not as stiff, and it has a softer, more comfortable hand feel.

The pockets deserve special mention: two deep side pockets that swallow a serious amount of gear, plus a new pocket added this year. For anyone carrying cameras, snacks, or an extra layer on the hill, these are among the biggest pockets in the game.

Strafe Nomad Jacket: A Shell Built for Filming and Hiking

The Nomad Jacket uses the same eVent shell material as the bibs, so the top and bottom match nearly perfectly in this colorway. As a shell, it breathes well so you don’t overheat, while leaving room to layer underneath on colder days, such as with the Tech Crew fleece.

The pockets are again huge, and one detail stands out for anyone filming on the hill: the upper pocket fits a 360 camera on its smallest collapsed stick, keeping it out of the way while moving between shots. Smaller interior pockets inside the big ones keep a phone from flying around mid-run.

Another differentiator: the pit vents are fully open rather than mesh-lined. Since this jacket is designed for people who hike a lot, you can dump heat fast on the bootpack without getting caught up in a mesh liner. It is a small design choice that pays off on every uphill lap.

Why Strafe Gear Holds Up

Because the headquarters sits at the base of Highlands, the brand tests its products by hiking the Highlands Bowl and riding the same conditions customers ride. That local testing loop is a big part of why the materials feel so dialed for real mountain use, and it is also just cool to rep a local brand. Face masks from the brand are worth a look too: they are long and thin, which makes breathing easier, and the prints lean into the mountain lifestyle with helicopters, peaks, and mountain goats.

Conclusion

The white and green Nomad Jacket and Nomad Bib combo paired with the Tech Crew fleece makes for a kit that is as functional as it is good-looking: breathable eVent shells, genuinely huge pockets, a filming-friendly upper pocket, and a warm new fleece layer underneath. For riders who hike a lot and want a baggy, comfortable fit from a brand that tests its gear locally in Aspen, this lineup is easy to recommend.
