The North Face
Few outdoor brands have a legacy as iconic as The North Face. Their stylish and functional designs have been proudly worn by some of the greatest athletes and adventurers to ever live. The North Face got their start as a climbing retail store in San Francisco in the mid 60’s. Their name is a nod to the fact that in the northern hemisphere, the north face of any given peak is typically the most difficult to climb, the cold, icy, and treacherous path that few people choose to travel. But for those who venture towards hard-to-summit peaks, The North Face makes for an excellent option. And these days, the company makes products geared more toward everyday life as well.
