🏷️ What is The North Face?
The North Face is an American brand founded in 1966 in San Francisco, specialising in outdoor equipment and technical clothing for mountaineering, hiking, skiing and climbing. The brand is recognised worldwide for the quality of its down jackets (Nuptse and Thermoball ranges), ski jackets and trail running shoes. The North Face regularly supplies clothing for expeditions in the most extreme conditions on the planet.
🧥 How do you choose a The North Face jacket?
The choice depends on the intended use. For everyday use in town with the occasional outing into the countryside, the Nuptse (down jacket) or Thermoball (synthetic insulation) models are the most versatile. For hiking and trekking, waterproof Gore-Tex jackets (Resolve and Dryzzle ranges) offer excellent protection against rain and wind. For skiing, jackets from the Freedom range are designed for snow sports with dedicated pockets for equipment. For extreme conditions, Summit Series parkas are the ultimate choice.
💡 Tip: Nuptse jackets made with natural down offer a better warmth-to-weight ratio than synthetic insulation, but lose their insulating properties if they get wet — opt for a Thermoball jacket for wet conditions.
📏 Are The North Face sizes true to size?
The North Face generally sizes to the standard for technical clothing. The cuts are designed to allow for layering underneath, which sometimes makes them slightly loose-fitting. For a more fitted look in town, you can go down a size. Trail and hiking boots are sized to the European standard.
🔖 When does The North Face offer its best deals?
The biggest discounts appear during Black Friday, the winter sales (ideal for down jackets and ski jackets) and the summer sales (for hiking and camping gear). The North Face also has an Outlet section with permanent discounts on past collections. Specialist outdoor retailers sometimes offer more competitive prices than the official website.
💡 Good to know: The North Face models from the previous year are often available with 30–40% off at retailers — the performance is identical to the new collections for the vast majority of uses.
🌿 Is The North Face committed to environmental issues?
Yes, The North Face has made several commitments to sustainability. The brand develops products using recycled materials (recycled polyester, RDS-certified responsible down) and has set targets to reduce its carbon footprint. The Futurelight range uses a waterproof membrane manufactured using a less polluting process than traditional Gore-Tex. The North Face also offers a repair and recycling programme for its products.
