A stand-out piece in the ski touring and ski mountaineering space, the Cham Jacket is a lightweight 3L shell designed for exceptional uphill and downhill performance. Made with the new Schoeller® Aerobrane™ fabric, this jacket is our most air-permeable and breathable to date. The fabric retains superior weather-proofing qualities while strategic paneling and 4-way stretch deliver uninhibited mobility. Knowing that less is more, we’ve paired down this jacket to the absolute essentials - sleek and minimalistic, the Cham is truly an ultralight 3L shell. If you're serious about touring and mountain objectives, this is the jacket for you.
Plus, with neutral colors and a gender graded size scale, we’re extra proud to make this iteration of Cham unisex fit. Please check the size guide.

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.
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.
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.
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.
*I have not used this jacket* but why would I buy a "Ultralight, minimalist design for ultimate touring shell performance. No powderskirt, wrist cuffs, or superfluous add-ons" that has a pocket for ski passes on the wrist?? Since when does Ultralight, minimalist and touring imply that I want a extra superfluous pocket that adds weight, has zero benefit for touring and is not minimal? Who designed this??? Pit zips? If it is as breathable as polartec neoshell, then why do I need pitzips? Another superfluous addition. Release a proper version. 2 chest pockets only (or truly minimal, one, and anorak) or get rid of all the nonsense about this being for touring and ultralight and minimal. It's none of those things. Just another resort jacket.
Hey Anton, thanks for your input! We understand your concerns, but think you'd be impressed by this jacket and this fabric if you got hands-on with the product. And not to spill the beans, but we have a streamlined anorak version coming soon.
