Founded by outdoor enthusiast Doug Tompkins in 1966, The North Face is aptly named after ‘the coldest, most unforgiving side of a mountain’ and was originally established as a climbing and hiking store in San Francisco. Since then, the label has offered pioneering garments and equipment to pro-athletes and amateur explorers alike, consistently pushing boundaries and innovating with new technologies and fabrics such as GORE-TEX®, HyVent®, PRIMALOFT® and many more. Expect to see heavy-duty outerwear, rugged technical luggage options and industry-defining collaborations.
