The North Face

The North Face: Origins and Bags for Every Occasion

The north face of a mountain is its most demanding side, cold, dark and challenging. The Californian outdoor manufacturer chose this name deliberately. It emphasises the main qualities of The North Face products, namely their durability and functionality. Whether bags, backpacks or luggage, the brand's products are designed for demanding use and changing weather conditions. Popular The North Face bag models include crossbody bags and belt bags. Tote-style The North Face bags with long, padded carrying handles are especially suited for shopping or short overnight trips and can be carried comfortably both by hand and over the shoulder. With a shoulder strap, these The North Face bags can also be worn diagonally across the body. A The North Face belt bag is primarily designed for outdoor use, so waterproof materials and functional features are important characteristics. Some models have a breathable back panel and offer high carrying comfort even during demanding activities. A The North Face belt bag with a rolltop closure provides extra storage space when needed and is also useful while travelling.

Luggage from The North Face: Base Camp, Rolling Thunder and Travel Backpacks

Among the classics in the brand's travel range is the Base Camp bag. The popular The North Face travel bag features a lockable U-shaped zip, stowable backpack straps, an extra side handle and padded carrying straps as standard for even more comfort on the go. The capacity of The North Face bags in the Base Camp series ranges between 30 and 150 litres. The trolleys of the Rolling Thunder series are also among The North Face's travel classics. They hold up to 155 litres and come with support feet, compression straps and a reinforced back panel. For short trips, a The North Face travel backpack is recommended, sized to fit standard carry-on dimensions and easy to stow under the seat. Most of The North Face's travel-friendly backpacks score with a padded laptop compartment and a softly padded carry system, and everyday models are also generally equipped with a padded back or padded backpack straps.

The North Face Backpacks for Everyday Life and Sport

The North Face Isabella backpack offers an extra bit of comfort: it's adapted to female anatomy. You can tell its special build not only from the woman's name in the product name but also from the letter W in front of it. Like most of the brand's daypacks, the The North Face Isabella has a padded laptop compartment, and the women's range also includes numerous outdoor backpacks with carry systems tailored to their respective needs. The The North Face Borealis is one of the especially popular sporty models. It features two elastic mesh side pockets, elastic bungee lacing on the front and hydration system preparation, which is also typical equipment on many of the brand's hiking and trekking backpacks. Standard features also include a safety whistle, padded backpack straps as well as sternum and hip straps. Also typical for a The North Face hiking backpack are height-adjustable carry systems and quick-drying fabrics. Depending on the length of the hike, you can choose between models with a capacity of 18 to 75 litres, some also with a detachable daypack. Some The North Face backpacks are designed as multifunctional models, combining the properties of outdoor and city backpacks for tours as well as everyday life.

At the Top for Over 55 Years: The North Face

The outdoor label was founded in 1966 and traces back to a small shop for mountaineering gear. Out of the passion for active outdoor exploration came the brand's motto "Never Stop Exploring". The North Face logo is a stylised depiction of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park, one of the most famous landmarks of California's Sierra Nevada mountains. Both the brand name and the logo underline The North Face's commitment to offering functional products with well thought-out features that meet demanding conditions while also offering high carrying comfort. Regular The North Face new arrivals expand the range of bags, backpacks and luggage, while selected The North Face items are available in the sale at a reduced price.
