At yachtwear.com, we've always believed that the best coastal life doesn't end at the waterline. The gear we carry has to hold up on the water but the people who wear it don't stop there. They move, they explore, they push into other terrains. And when they do, we want what they're wearing to be worth it.
That's why we chose Strafe Outerwear.
A Standard We Don't Lower
We don't add brands lightly. Every label we carry has been chosen because it meets the same bar: real craft, real performance, and a point of view that earns its place in a discerning wardrobe.
Strafe was born in Aspen, Colorado, not in a boardroom, but on the mountain itself. Founded by athletes who couldn't find technical outerwear that matched how they actually moved, they built it themselves. Everything is designed, tested, and proven in the Highland Bowl, one of the most demanding terrains in North America. The result is a brand that doesn't need to explain itself, it just performs.
The brand carries the same values we look for across our entire curation: uncompromising performance, materials that tell a story, and design that earns its place.
The Craft Behind the Collection
What separates Strafe is the seriousness of their material choices. Their shells use Pertex® Shield 3L a three-layer construction that delivers genuine waterproofing and breathability without stiffness. Insulated pieces feature sustainable PrimaLoft® synthetic insulation, warm even in wet conditions and light enough to move freely. Select styles are built with eVent® fabric, trusted by those who most need their gear to perform without compromise.
These aren't choices made for the hang tag. They're choices made for the mountain.
The Pieces Worth Knowing
The Nomad Jacket is where to start. Powder Magazine called it the kit they'd choose if they could only own one. Built with Pertex® Shield 3L, it transitions from technical ascents to the village without missing a beat. The Nomad Bib completes the kit seamlessly.
For women, the Meadow 3L Shell Jacket and Scarlett 3L Shell Bib bring Strafe's precision to cuts designed for real movement, built with eVent® and available in colorways that feel considered, not accidental.
Their mid-layers and baselayers round out a collection built for the kind of days that don't stay in one place.
