The North Face
The North Face is an outdoor clothing and equipment company that specializes in manufacturing and retailing products for outdoor activities and exploration. It was founded in 1966 by Douglas Tompkins and Kenneth "Hap" Klopp in San Francisco, California.
The North Face is known for its high-quality and durable apparel, footwear, and gear designed for various outdoor pursuits, including hiking, climbing, camping, skiing, and snowboarding. Their product range includes jackets, pants, shirts, sweaters, shoes, backpacks, tents, and sleeping bags, among other items.
The company's logo features a stylized version of the Half Dome, a famous granite rock formation in Yosemite National Park. The North Face has a reputation for producing reliable and technologically advanced products that can withstand harsh weather conditions and demanding outdoor activities.
Their 3-in-1 ThermoBall Eco Snow Triclimate, for instance, is well fitted, has premium features like pit zips for dumping heat quickly, and includes their down-mimicking ThermoBall Eco synthetic jacket, which we've found does a nice job mixing warmth and weather protection. They perform particularly well in the resort category for jackets. Another favorite is the Freedom Pant, which offers a fantastic balance of durability and insulation for regular indoor wear.
