Just like any other brand The North Face have devoted a lot of time, energy and money into the research and development of new fabrics, technologies and innovative ideas in weight reduction, increased performance, durability and a whole host of other ideas which will, in tern, benefit you the customer and help you in all your outdoor endeavours.

As an official North Face retailer we thought that it might be nice to pass on a few bits of info about The North Face and the ways in which they achieve production of their high performance clothing, footwear and bags. We'll try to breakdown a few of the North Face proprietary fabrics and make them slightly more easy to digest. Well that's the idea anyway!

The North Face are one of the nations favourite outdoor brands and everywhere you look you can see The North Face logo bobbing around whether you're at the beach, in the city or on the mountain. They have achieved this by keeping in touch with both technical and aesthetic elements of outdoor gear which entails updating colour ways each season, sponsoring major events and keeping in touch with what you guys need to keep you dry, warm and comfortable.

The North Face not only use their own technologies, they integrate others into their outerwear and these generally consist of Gore-Tex and Polartec Fleece.
