More about The North Face
The North Face was founded in 1966 by avid climber and outdoor enthusiast Doug Tompkins. Named for the north face of a mountain (the coldest and most challenging side to climb), the brand’s mission is to provide fellow hikers and climbers with the best outdoor equipment available. The North Face remains true to this mission, pioneering some of the most innovative outdoor products, including the first internal-frame backpack (The North Face “ruthsack”), the application of GORE-TEX® waterproof fabrics to The North Face ski jackets, and the introduction of “The Oval InTENTion,” a modern replacement for traditional A-frame tents that has since become an industry standard.
Fits and Styles
Each season, The North Face combines timeless styling with unbeatable functionality and performance. The North Face jackets are among the best-performing and most iconic outerwear on the planet. The North Face puffer jacket, called the Nuptse Jacket, is one such style that became popular with East Coast hip-hop artists during the 1990s and has been a streetwear staple ever since. We also love The North Face fleece jacket, known as the Denali Jacket, another iconic product that has been the mid-layer of choice since its introduction in the late 1980s. In recent years, The North Face has expanded its offering to include trail-ready Taraval shoes, seasonal sandals, and flyweight accessories to stow your gear while you’re on the move.
