North Face Jacket

For an outdoor jacket to add to your camping and outdoor equipment the North Face jacket is one of the more superior brands out there today and well worth consideration. The North Face brand began life in 1966 in the form of two alpine ski stores in the San Francisco Bay area. It was Douglas Tomkins and his wife Susie who were the founders and they named their shops The North Face to portray an image of the ski wear and equipment they sold. They were working with the idea of portraying “fierce”. It is a well known fact that in the Northern Hemisphere the north face of any mountain is the iciest, coldest and definitely the toughest to climb. So hence the two shops were selling the toughest ski equipment and clothing one could buy.

North Face Jacket

The Denali is North Face’s best selling fleece jacket that is perfect for skiers and hikers alike. It works as an insulating layer underneath a waterproof shell. The Denali fleece can also be worn as an outer layer in order for you to block out any light rain or snow. An excellent feature on the Denali fleece is the nylon shoulder patches that are there to prevent any abrasions on your shoulders of the jacket from carrying a backpack for an elongated period of time. Even though the Denali is a very nice jacket to look ot, even eye catching, the real beauty of it is the functionality of the jacket.

Examples Of The North Face Jacket

Types of North Face Jacket

It actually seems that you can not go anywhere without seeing someone wearing a North Face jacket. In fact on average the North Face company has an enviable average only dreamed of by fellow manufacturers of actually supplying half the market in America on it’s own. Not bad for a company beginning from humble beginnings of just a husband a wife team. North Face now is an established retailer competing all around the world for market share.

So onto the types of North Face jackets. Waterproof jackets have been around forever but there is just something about the North Face jacket that stands it apart from the crowd. But it is not only looks that elevate the North Face jacket to this pinnacle. It is the technology as well. North Face jackets are always manufactured using high quality materials that are designed to offer durability and reliability and do what they are advertised as being capable of doing. On the techno front, teaming up with GORE-TEX and polartec go even further to enhancing the North Face jacket quality and reputation. The waterproof jackets are fashionable and functional for the active outdoor type. They will keep you warm and dry in all types of weathers and yet not restrict you in any way.

After a short while of establishing the North Face shops Tomkins decided to sell them to two brothers who took the initiative in expanding the number of stores and merchandising the products better to reach a wider market. In 1968 the company was again bought out but this time by a bigger fish and probably the most famous owner, Kenneth “Hap” Klopp. To the ski wear side of the business Klopp expanded the product range to include sleeping bags and backpacks and also gave The North Face it’s famous logo that the company still uses today.

In the 1980’s The North Face expanded even further with a new line in extreme skiwear and 10 years later they were the only manufacturer/supplier in America to offer the consumer high performance outwear, skiwear, tents, backpacks, clothing and sleeping bags. Today North Face has a well earned reputation and has extensive ranges of high tech clothing such as the North Face jacket, as well as other camping and outdoor equipment.
