Testers found that the Neoshell fabric of the Pyramid jacket did provide a fairly breathable product, and had no complaints while skiing in bounds. In periods of exceptionally heavy snowfall, there was a little water spotting on mid layers that appeared along the zipper line, indicating the front zipper and flap let it through. It did a great job of this, and testers never worried about the durability of the waterproofness of the fabric itself. The Pyramid jacket relies on the new Polartec Neoshell fabric to keep out wind, rain and snow. Strafe also fixed a two-way adjustable hood to the pyramid jacket, but testers found it to be grossly oversized. Testers did find that the forearm pass pocket was difficult to operate with gloves due to the length of the sleeves, causing excess fabric to pile up and the zipper would then have nothing to pull against-moot though when using an RFID pass. The Pyramid jacket also features a removable snow skirt, extra long pit zips and built in wrist gaiters. One of the chest pockets also has a built in pouch for storing a phone, and a headphone port to prevent that unsightly wire from having to run externally and getting in the way. With all that space to store snacks, extra gloves, goggles and a beverage or two, testers never had to worry about having everything they needed when wearing this piece. The Pyramid jacket has two massive chest pockets, two zippered hand pockets, and two interior pockets (one zippered pocket, and one open mesh pouch) and a zippered forearm pass pocket. Testers loved all the places to put any goodies needed for a day on the hill. One of the best parts of the Pyramid jacket is the abundance of storage space that it provides. Water resistant zippers and Velcro cuffs help to keep the elements out. Testers were pleased with the durability and longevity of the piece, which held color and shape after many abusive days on the slopes. NeoShell is an ultra breathable, waterproof fabric with a soft feel and 4-way stretch similar to a lightweight version of the popular soft shell fabrics from a few years ago. Strafe’s new Pyramid shell utilizes Polartec’s award-winning NeoShell fabric.
