STRAFE wear review from riders Hirofumi Ishikawa & Takeo Ishikawa
STRAFE uses eVent, which has high breathability, so you don't have to take it off as often while on the move, and the cut allows for a wide range of motion without causing stress. I really like the large pockets and relaxed silhouette
