Getting steep with The North Face

One notable feature is the addition of Fuseform, a technology that uses a weaving process to blend thicker, more durable yarns with lighter, lower-density fibers in high-wear areas, reducing overall weight. This is combined with Gore-Tex to create a laminate never before used in technical woven materials, a first for both brands.

Another new addition to the collection is the ergonomic fit,
designed to support movement during activities such as hiking or climbing,
perfected by following feedback from athletes from previous seasons. Other
highlights are the integrated interlayer pocket systems, helmet-compatible
hood, neck radio pocket and checkered radio pocket with buckle.

“Our design teams were very inspired by astronauts heading
into space; Like our athletes, they head into the unknown, in harsh and extreme
environments; They need equipment that protects them and helps them perform
their best no matter what is thrown at them. - Darren Cookson, Vice President
of Product, The North Face

With the launch of the collection comes the release of
Ushba, a new film starring 2017 freeride champion Leo Slemett along with fellow
North Face snow sports team members Sam Anthamatten and Markus Eder. The film
sees the trio attempting to complete the first ski descent from Ushba Mountain
in Svaneti, Georgia.

The mountainous landscape provided the perfect place to put
the new collection to the test, with a wide variety of terrain and ski types,
from steep skiing to freestyle to pillow lines.
“From the deep Japanese dust in January to the pronounced
lines in May in the Alps, the Steep Series kit is perfect for the entire
season. What moves me the most is the quality of the stretch fabric: it remains
stretchy and waterproof at the end of the season after months and months of
adventures. - Léo Slemett, Freeride World Champion
