Materials

Polyamide

Polyamide, also called nylon, is a synthetic material made from petroleum. Polyamide is a strong fabric that does not tear or crease easily. It is light, elastic, easy to fold and dries quickly. A disadvantage of polyamide is that it does not absorb moisture well.

Elastane

Elastane is a synthetic fiber that is exceptionally elastic. Due to its great stretchability, but at the same time its firmness, it distinguishes itself from other synthetic fabrics. For example, it is stronger and more durable than rubber, but also much lighter. Elastane is very lightweight and is therefore very suitable when you are going to do activities. Elastane also offers a lot of room to move because it is so elastic, without losing the fit.

Sustainable production

Since 2015, The North Face has been committed to producing technical clothing without the use of environmentally harmful fluorocarbons (PFCs). The use of PFCs in the textile finishing ensures that clothing becomes water, dirt and grease repellent. The North Face technical clothing uses an alternative finish without the use of PFCs. This makes the product water and dirt repellent. Only an oil-repellent effect cannot currently be achieved with a PFC-free finish. In addition to using a PFC-free finish, The North Face is committed to greater use of recycled content, especially recycled polyester. In addition, The North Face has a Blue Sign label.

The BlueSign label indicates that no harmful substances have been used in the production process. Companies with a BlueSign label are required to draw up a sustainability plan with attention to water consumption, energy consumption and waste management. BlueSign also has guidelines for safe and healthy working conditions, but these are not specifically monitored.
