Redesigned and re-engineered from the ground up. This bag is stronger and lighter than its predecessors by simplifying construction, customizing hardware, and by introducing new thermoform technologies. The Rolling Thunder is the standard for durable simple rolling luggage.

The Hyper Kazoo represents a revolutionary way to construct a down sleeping bag to be stronger and more efficient than ever before. Three layers of fabric are woven together to form staggered pockets; this patented baffle construction allows the bag to be 20% lighter by reducing construction and 50% stronger by eliminating stitch lines that are used in traditional cuts and sew construction.

In 1975, The North Face introduced a tent that was wildly innovative for its time. The Oval Intention marked a radical departure from previous tent designs. Its geodesic dome structure was based on the work of Buckminster Fuller, one of the world’s most progressive futurists.
In 2018, we redesigned the Oval Intention as well as our original 1968 Daypack for Childish Gambino’s PHAROS music festival in New Zealand. Both products were designed for the modern festival consumer and featured a custom iridescent fabric.

The Lineage packs pay homage to The North Face’s rich outdoor heritage while staying true to the brands core values of innovation and sustainability. I took inspiration from early 1990’s pack silhouettes, reengineering them with new suspension systems, updated features for modern daily-carry, and used 100% recycled materials. Special attention was paid to CMF, even reengineering the webbing that was originally used in the 1986 Rage Snowboarding Collection. These durable packs are a new interpretation of how retro aesthetics can be envisioned.

The Fusion evolves traditional tent design with an innovative canopy that seamlessly transitions to mesh. This engineered fabric is opaque and densely woven at the base of the tent to provide higher thermal retention. It then slowly transforms into a more open translucent structure near the top to promote ventilation and vapor transfer. This tent utilizes the highest quality and lightest weight components available, from its 15D Rainfly to its uber-efficient feather-light pole set. The Fusion is distilled down to pure functionality.

The North Face enters the hardshell luggage category by offering innovative durability. Knowing the zipper is often the first thing to fail we set out to design zipper-less hard luggage. Using a frame/ gasket design, paired with an aluminum hinge, and TSA locks we built unparalleled performance into our first 4-wheeler.

The Borealis was first introduced in 1999 and played a pivotal roll in creating an entire product category. The Borealis helped to position The North Face as a leader in daily carry and organization. Learnings from technical products constantly feed into our daypack line. Through this continual technical renewal, The North Face has remained the premier maker of daypacks.
