Top-quality hiking gear with The North Face

The North Face began in a small San Francisco shop in the 1960s, built for climbers and campers, and grew into a global maker of outdoor apparel and equipment for hikers, climbers and commuters.

The label sells waterproof shells, insulated down jackets, fleeces, gilets and technical trousers. Outdoor users and city travellers pick pieces for clear weather protection, layering options and broadly available sizing.

For training and warm-ups, consider a North Face tracksuit, which includes zip tops and tapered joggers in breathable fabrics.

Ultimate pairing guide for North Face clothes

North Face clothes include close-fitting fleeces, roomier parkas and fitted shell layers that suit anyone. Pick a closer fit for baselayers and a looser outer for added insulation, depending on the weather and activity.

Waterproof shells work with mid layers and slim trousers for walking in varied conditions. For colder days, a down jacket over a fleece gives you added warmth without being too bulky, like a neat black jacket for versatility in city settings.

Softshells and fleeces pair with trail trousers or tapered jeans for weekend walks, and if you use a pack, look for jackets with longer backs and sleeves to keep your movement free while carrying the extra weight.

How to wear and care for your clothes

When picking your gear, compare insulation types, shell laminates and the different weights against what you need it for.

Clothes by The North Face offer mid-layer warmth without added layers, and a North Face gilet is excellent for brisk walks and layering under a shell on colder days. Try a quilted gilet for some extra detail and extra arm movement.

Take care to follow the advice of labels when cleaning, like washing technical shells on gentle cycles and using reproof products for water repellency. Store insulated pieces in dry areas and avoid high heat when tumble drying to protect the fills and stretch panels.
