The North Face 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.
