The North Face® takes its name from the harshest, coldest side of a mountain. It was the sheer northwest face of Half Dome in Yosemite National park that provided the inspiration for The North Face® logo, paying tribute to the company’s climbing heritage and outdoor roots and quest to Never Stop Exploring™.

Tested in some of the toughest conditions on the planet by a world-renowned team of athletes, including legendary 8000m+ alpinists Denis Urubko & Simone Moro; mountain climbers Herve Barmasse and the Pou Brothers; free skiers and big mountain snowboarders such as Xavier De Le Rue; and ultra-runners Lizzy Hawker, Jez Bragg and Sebastian Chaigneau.
