About The North Face

The North Face is a name well known in the sports and casual product lines of clothes and shoes. The North Face Jackets and The North Face Parkas are recognized as world leaders in the camping world as durable, reliable and comfortable when camping or hiking in any weather, but especially in the wet and cold. Made of gortex or polyester, the jackets and parkas are breathable, allowing body sweat and heat to escape, yet keep the body warm and dry. Parkas are lined with fleece or wool for added comfort and warmth.

The North Face boots are also durable and reliable in any sort of weather or terrain. Made of breathable leather and lined with wool, their boots keep feet warm and dry. This is especially important so that a hiker does not develop trench foot. Trench foot is when the foot becomes so damp and wet that it develops fungus and odor, resulting in infections that make walking almost impossible and painful.

The North Face gloves keep hands dry, warm and comfortable. Made of thinsulate, these gloves virtually prevent any moisture or cold through. This is especially important when hiking in the cold and rain or snow. Every hiker knows the importance of working hands.
