The North Face launches new material

The North Face has launched new material known as Futurelight that aims to create a new paradigm in clothing and protection. The material has been created using a technology known as nanospinning. Nanospinning allows for adjustments in weight, stretch, breathability, durability, texture and constructions for both knit or woven fabrics during the manufacturing process—something the brand said gives it the ability to match products to a variety of activities and consumers.

The first Futurelight collections released by The North Face—the Summit Series, the Steep Series and the Flight series—will include jackets, pants and bibs common to outdoor sports, all produced using nanospinning. In order to ensure the technology would hold up in extreme conditions, the brand enlisted the help of outdoor athletes to field test the apparel in locations around the world.

Futurelight fabric in The North Face’s new collections will also be produced with “industry-leading sustainability. The facing and backing layers in the collection’s three-layer garments, for example, will feature 90 percent recycled materials. The North Face released the Summit Series, Steep Series and Flight Series on Oct. 1 through its own retail channels and through key retail partners.
