FW23 LOOKBOOK

Strafe Outerwear's Winter 2023 Collection:

As the temperature drops and the first snowflakes start to fall, it's time to start thinking of gearing up for the winter season...

Our VP of Design, Pia Halloran, once said to me that she designs outerwear to make it feel like you're wearing nothing at all. What could be a better feeling than that? Truly, when a product is light - without the burden of extra weight - and fits - without bunching or inhibiting movement - and breathes - preventing moisture buildup through a layering system - there really is the sensation of not wearing anything at all.

By using innovative materials and working over years and years, we’ve refined a refined collection. Resulting in a system of clothing that achieves the closest thing to wearing nothing yet still offers the critical durability, waterproofing, and warmth that is our protection in winter environments. 

Born from those years of refinements, we proudly present the Winter 23/24 collection. Continuing to push the limits as a small, independent brand based in the mountains and designing product to fit our needs and desires. Each style is designed with intention and versatility in mind. Balancing specificity and maximizing use-cases provides a product more opportunities to be worn, enjoyed, and its lifecycle maximized. 

This season, we’re bringing a diverse palette of both timeless and more exciting colors and prints. We’ve improved our zippers and zipper pulls and elastic adjustments and seam lines and paneling. We’ve added several new layering styles and adopted new materials from our partners at PrimaLoft®.

From our headquarters in Aspen, CO, we couldn’t be more thrilled to present this collection and have it enhance your mountain experience. We make the product we want to wear and we hope you enjoy using it as much as we do.
