The North Face Celebrates 25 Years Of Summit Series

Athlete-tested and expedition-proven, The North Face proudly celebrates 25 years of  Summit Series, the brand’s pinnacle performance product collection. Tested by athletes across the globe and proven in some of the harshest conditions and most remote environments, the collection is a showcase of advanced technologies, with continued emphasis on evolving to support mountain athletes and passionate outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Summit Snow produces kit that delivers freeride style with big mountain performance. The collection features the most impressive engineering to date – including the Summit Verbier Gore-Tex Jacket. The seam-sealed three-layer shell harnesses breathable-waterproof GORE-TEX, offering the highest level of protection while you ride.

Summit Series Snow is The North Face’s most advanced layering system, designed to venture to the edge of what’s possible with 25 years of athlete-tested innovation. A true showcase of technical excellence in apparel that works with the elements, not in spite of them.

Since its inception, Summit Series products have allowed climbers, alpinists, skiers, snowboarders, and trail runners to push the limits of human potential and achieve new and never-before feats in the outdoors through its advanced system of layering and performance technologies utilized across technical apparel, footwear, and outdoor gear. These demanding circumstances have pushed new product innovations to include several proprietary technologies found across the collection, including:

• DOTKNIT - a performance fabric that actively pulls moisture from the skin and expels it;
• FUTUREFLEECE - a revolutionary lightweight heat-trapping technology;
• PRODOWN - water repellent down that offers high-level warmth and compressibility;
• VENTRIX - dynamic insulation that adapts to your level of activity;
• FLASHDRY - technology that eliminates moisture so you stay dry and comfortable;
• FUTURELIGHT - an advanced breathable-waterproof technology tuned for high-output activities in all seasons;
• CLOUDDOWN - advanced thermal performance for extreme conditions and cold temperatures

The milestone also marks the reintegration of GORE-TEX technology into the collection, a highly-regarded wind and waterproof membrane designed to protect you from the elements, as well as the addition of Spectra® yarn, one of the world’s lightest and strongest fibers to provide unmatched durability in ultralight fabrics without a weight penalty.

As the brand looks forward to the next 25 years of pinnacle performance product innovation, new Summit Series alpine climb and snowsport collections will roll out in the coming months, utilizing several highlighted The North Face technologies, including its most advanced layering system to date, to be announced in October 2025.
