The North Face Novelty GTX Paisley Mountain Jacket Black

One day in 1966, Douglas Thompkins and his friend, both avid mountaineers, decided to open a small climbing shop in San Francisco. They constantly expanded their offering of durable gear that could withstand frigid environments without being damaged. One day, they became the first store in the United States to offer everything from clothing to backpacks to tents. The founding duo never stopped looking for the best innovations. All so you can explore and discover in warmth and comfort. Before The North Face, everyone got their camping gear from surplus stores, as there was nothing available other than heavy Army and Navy gear. You probably didn’t know that The North Face invented the backpack. Due to the lack of availability of gear and the weight of the aforementioned Army and Navy gear, people weren’t used to backpacking. The most famous The North Face backpack is a best-seller for good reason. It has the iconic bungee cord system and a large interior that keeps your belongings safe inside and out.
