The North Face
At the North Face it begins with their world-class athletes. The quality snow sport ski jacket and snowboard jacket designs come from the team's suggestions and recommendations. The team provides the inspiration and challenges that drive the research and development of advanced materials such as HyVent waterproof breathable fabrics for TriClimate jackets, and innovative design and construction like Chimney Venting for insulated or shell pants. The most crucial step involves testing both in their laboratories and with their athletes on expeditions around the world.
