The North Face

The North Face began in 1966, when two hiking enthusiasts opened a small mountaineering store in San Francisco. Two years later, the company started designing and manufacturing its own brand of technical mountaineering apparel and equipment. From the beginning they committed to serving all explorers – and to helping conserve our natural wild lands.

Working to better the environment

The North Face is committed to increasing the use of recycled plastic (mainly from water and soda bottles) in its polyester fabric – which reduces dependence on fossil fuels and has less impact on air and water sources than virgin polyester.
