The North Face

Over the next few days, or perhaps all tonight, I’m going to be writing a little bit of background on all of the companies that I know provide the best in Warm Winter Wear.  The first company that we’re going to be looking at is The North Face.

I’ve gathered a lot of this information from their website, which you can check out in the link I’ve provided above.  The North Face derives their name from what is generally considered to be the iciest, coldest part of a mountain.  Their logo is a representation of the half dome located in Yosemite, which is one of the greatest big walls in the world.

Founded in 1966 in the heart of San Fransico’s North Beach, they were originally a retailer of high end climbing and outdoor equipment.  However, in 1968, they began to develop their own brand of high performance mountaineering and equipment.  They quickly added other lines of products, and became the only supplier to offer a comprehensive collection of outdoor wear, camping gear, and other outdoor supplies.  Beginning in 1996, they began to use their own specially developed materials, providing premium solutions for the outdoor enthusiast.

The North Face is a quality brand, providing premium winter wear.  All of their products are covered with a lifetime warranty, which just goes to show you how much they stand behind their brands.
