In 1966, two hiking enthusiasts founded a small
mountaineering retail store in the heart of San Francisco's
North Beach. The Company soon became known as The North
Face, a retailer of high-performance climbing and
backpacking equipment. (The name was selected because in the
Northern Hemisphere, the north face of a mountain is
generally the coldest, iciest and most formidable to climb.)
In 1968, The North Face began designing and manufacturing
its own brand of high-performance mountaineering apparel
and
equipment, and in the early 1980s, extreme skiwear was added
to the product offering. By the end of the decade, The North
Face became the only supplier in the United States to offer
a comprehensive collection of high-performance outerwear,
skiwear, sleeping bags, packs and tents.
In Spring 1996, The North Face made its debut in the
sportswear market with the launch of Tekware®, a collection
of high-performance sportswear made from advanced materials
using innovative construction. The Tekware® collection was
designed to provide rock climbers, backpackers, hikers,
trail runners and outdoor enthusiasts with the ultimate in
fit and function. Later that year, the Company acquired A-5
Adventures, Inc., adding portaledges and other big wall gear
to its collection of outdoor equipment. The North Face
launched its own line of trekking and trail running shoes in
Spring 1999.
