The North Face have always done things differently. Named after the most challenging side of the mountain, they've equipped explorers to reach their dreams since 1966. Now, after half a century of testing the limits of performance and possibility, their iconic Half Dome logo represents one of the world’s leading brands for mountaineering gear and outdoor clothing.
In recent years, The North Face have also become an established fashion phenomenon, paving the way for urban exploration. Motivated by the belief that the path of discovery is also the path of progression, they work passionately to inspire you to see the streets beyond the map and reimagine what you can achieve.
That forward-thinking approach is at the heart of the brand. Driven by the motto “Never Stop Exploring”, TNF continuously encourage you to embrace the elements while charting new paths for sustainability. Committed to moving forward and protecting the places you love, they’re devoted to delivering exceptionally high-quality products that celebrate where you’ve been and inspire what lies ahead.
One of the most famous The North Face pieces is the signature Denali jacket that was first launched in 1989. Lightweight, durable, and exceptionally warm, it remains an icon today, with modern colours and designs ensuring you’re equipped for your everyday explorations.
Just three years on from the Denali’s debut, 1992 saw the creation of the Nuptse jacket, another instantly recognisable silhouette from The North Face. Named after the mountain that’s found a mile southwest of Mount Everest, the Nuptse takes its name from the Tibetan word for “west peak”, bringing an authentic adventure feel to urban environments. Incorporating an innovative construction that decreases down shifting and increases warmth, the Nuptse jacket was an instant hit, and its success continues into the 21st Century with retro-inspired designs and cosy fill for long-lasting comfort that stays true to the original.
