The history of The North Face – from San Francisco to the world’s highest peaks

The North Face brand was born in 1966 in San Francisco, when Doug Tompkins and his wife opened a small store offering ski gear and backpacks. Two years later, Kenneth “Hap” Klopp took over the company and focused on designing and producing advanced outdoor apparel. A breakthrough came in 1977 when the company became one of the first to introduce Gore-Tex technology, revolutionizing protection against rain and wind. Over the decades, the TNF logo became a symbol of expeditions to Annapurna and the world’s highest peaks, while the Tekware™ collection from the 1990s brought these technologies into urban fashion. Today, the brand is a leader in the Urban Exploration segment, combining professional technical performance with aesthetics that outperform mass-market products from brands such as adidas.

The North Face t-shirts and long sleeves – the foundation of your everyday wardrobe

At Selectshop you will find a wide selection of essential apparel that combines natural cotton with technical performance. The North Face t-shirts are a streetwear classic, including models such as Simple Dome and Redbox, known for durable fabrics and resistance to everyday wear. The North Face long sleeves are the perfect solution for days when you need more protection from the cold while still maintaining the lightweight feel of a t-shirt. Both categories use technologies such as FlashDry™, which helps wick away moisture, making TNF apparel more effective during activities than standard adidas products.

The North Face hoodies – from classic pullovers to warm fleece layers

The The North Face hoodie category in our offer includes a comprehensive selection of fits adapted to all weather conditions. The North Face hooded sweatshirts are absolute bestsellers, offering comfort and protection against wind, while crewneck sweatshirts focus on a clean, minimalist look ideal for layered outfits. If you value quick thermal adjustment, The North Face zip hoodies are the best choice for changing weather conditions. For freezing temperatures, we offer The North Face fleece jackets, which thanks to advanced knit fabrics provide excellent insulation while remaining lightweight, making them more functional than standard sweatshirts.

The North Face jackets – iconic Nuptse and advanced protection

The North Face jackets are the most recognizable part of the brand’s collection, guaranteeing protection in difficult conditions. The North Face Nuptse is a streetwear legend that has remained one of the most popular down jackets since 1996 thanks to its distinctive boxy fit. The North Face winter jackets offer advanced insulation with natural or synthetic down, protecting against extreme cold. For spring and autumn, The North Face transitional jackets equipped with DryVent™ membranes effectively repel water and block wind, delivering comfort often missing in competing products.

Pants and The North Face shorts – mobility and functional materials

The lower apparel range from The North Face combines comfort and durability. The North Face pants include cargo and chino trousers as well as sweatpants perfect for relaxing and everyday outfits. When temperatures rise, The North Face fabric shorts provide breathability and freedom of movement, while specialized The North Face boardshorts are ready for water activities and quick drying. All these models are designed with durability in mind, ensuring seams and fabrics withstand more than standard sportswear textiles.

Caps, gloves and hats – protection for every season

The North Face caps are designed to protect you all year round, from sunny summers to freezing winters. The North Face baseball caps and lightweight hats are essential summer accessories that provide sun protection. For colder months, we offer winter hats and The North Face winter gloves featuring insulation technologies that maintain warmth even in sub-zero temperatures. These details complete your outfit and ensure comfort whether you are on the trail or moving through the city.

Backpacks, bags and waist packs – transport your gear without compromise

Frequently Asked Questions about The North Face products:

How should I care for a Nuptse down jacket to maintain its loft?

The Nuptse 1996 Retro jacket should be washed at a low temperature using specialist down detergents. The key step is drying – preferably in a tumble dryer with a few tennis balls to break up clumped down and restore the jacket’s original volume. If you do not have a dryer, lay the jacket flat and regularly fluff it while drying.

What is the difference between DryVent™ and Futurelight™ technologies?

DryVent™ is a proven technology that provides full waterproofness and wind resistance while maintaining good breathability, making it ideal for everyday use and hiking. Futurelight™ is the brand’s most advanced membrane, created using nanospun technology, offering unmatched airflow while remaining fully waterproof. Futurelight™ is ideal for intense activities where maximum ventilation is essential.

Which The North Face backpack should I choose for school or work?

For everyday use, the Jester, Vault, and Borealis models are the best choices. Each one features a padded laptop compartment and an organizer system for accessories. The Borealis offers the largest capacity and additional compression straps, while the Jester focuses on simplicity and lightweight comfort, making it ideal for commuters.

Are The North Face boardshorts suitable for swimming in saltwater?

Yes, The North Face boardshorts are made from quick-drying materials resistant to chlorine and sea salt. Technical fabrics ensure the shorts do not lose color in the sun and do not become heavy when wet. They are the perfect choice for the beach and water sports where freedom of movement is essential.

Why are fleece hoodies better for winter than standard cotton sweatshirts?

The North Face fleece garments are made from polyester fibers that do not absorb moisture like cotton. Unlike standard adidas sweatshirts, fleece wicks sweat away and dries quickly, preventing the body from cooling down. In addition, fleece offers a better warmth-to-weight ratio, making it an excellent insulating layer under a winter jacket.

Which TNF winter accessories provide the best protection against frost?

For extreme conditions, it is worth choosing Etip™ gloves with Heatseeker™ insulation and winter hats made with wool blends or fleece linings. The North Face gloves allow touchscreen use without removing them, protecting hands from sudden cooling. Hats and winter caps are designed to cover the ears and retain warmth where heat loss is greatest.

Are Base Camp Duffel bags fully waterproof?

Base Camp bags are made from highly durable laminated ballistic material that is fully waterproof. Although the zippers themselves are not hermetically sealed, they include protective flaps, ensuring the bag effectively protects contents during heavy rain or roof transport. This equipment withstands far tougher conditions than traditional sports bags.

What makes FlashDry™ pants special?

FlashDry™ technology works like a second skin – it quickly moves sweat away from the body to the outer layer of the fabric, where it can evaporate rapidly. Pants and shorts equipped with this solution are ideal for summer hikes and intense city days, ensuring a dry and fresh feeling even in high temperatures.
