    Exactly what I was hoping!

    The Cham jacket I received looked too light to be effective in even modestly cool weather but when paired it with a thin layer of insulation it’s perfect. Love the hood styling and dimensions - I never had to pull my gator over my nose even when skiing in higher winds and snow.

    Excellent Touring Shell

    I am 5'9" 165 lbs. and the medium fit perfectly. Slim fit with full range of motion. The shell is very breathable and packable.

    CHAM WOW

    This is the product that made me a firm believer in owning a touring kit. The ease of movement… the breathability, the narrower fit… all of it adds up to an awesome product.

    New Favorite

    Again, beyond expectations. The Cham 3L Shell Jacket is the perfect piece to all layering. The fabric is dreamy: stretchy, breathable and water-resistant. Couldn't be happier.

    Perfect Fit! Great product and features.

    Great fit overall, nice quality materials and construction. I have been wearing Patagonia for years because they offer slim XS sizes. I am 5'-6", 130lbs, so it's pretty hard to find men's ski clothing that fit. Patagonia is great, but it's nice to have options and Strafe's sizing definitely works great for me. The features are great, especially the ski pass holder in the sleeve. Definitely worth the investment.
