Strafe Recon Touring Pullover
Built for US SkiMo champ John Gaston, the Recon Touring Pullover from Strafe is your go-to soft shell for fast spring missions or intense training sessions. Built with cooling brrr° fabric and breathable perforated panels, it actively cools and wicks sweat—even when you're redlining on a warm spring ascent. The DWR coating offers light weather resistance, helping fend off some precipitation and moderate wind. With a trim, athletic fit and a helmet-compatible hood, the Recon Pullover is loaded with thoughtful features. It includes a dedicated zippered beacon pocket, internal mesh skin pockets, and Pertex Equilibrium panels in high-output areas, transporting moisture away from your body. Strafe set out to build the most functional, streamlined soft shell for high-output activities in moderate weather, and they nailed it.

Questions & Reviews
"This jacket is in a very soft, muted, and sophisticated shade of purple.
It's best described as a dusty lavender or grayed-out lilac — a delicate, pale purple with strong gray undertones that make it feel calm, understated, and almost neutral at first glance.
Not bright or vibrant like classic purple — instead it's very subdued, slightly powdery, and has that gentle "washed-out" quality that makes it extremely versatile and modern-looking for outdoor/technical apparel.
Think of it as somewhere between:
very light lavender
pale dusty lilac
cool-toned mauve
and a whisper of "greige-purple"
It's one of those colors that looks elegant and expensive in real life, especially in technical fabrics where the subtle sheen and texture really bring out its softness."
