Few brands inspire confidence like The North Face. Year after year they make some of the best ski wear on the market. Bold colours, flattering fits and this year there’s something even more exciting in the line-up, a new fabric they’ve developed to deliver superior comfort, FUTURELIGHT. An added bonus of FUTRELIGHT is its eco-friendly credentials. Recycled materials go into the product, the waterproof coating comes from PFC-free chemicals while the factory is solar powered. The North Face is named after the coldest, most unforgiving side of a mountain. But it was actually founded in 1966 at an altitude of 150 feet above sea level, on a beach in San Francisco’s North Beach area. Their mission is to provide the best gear, support the preservation of the outdoors and inspire exploration. Judging from this year’s collection, which matches style and rugged protection, they’re still very much on track.

All about this product
General
Flight VECTIV x Elvira is a light, fast and responsive trail shoe that optimizes energy return and reduces downhill tibial impact by 10 percent. This limited-edition version features a colour story by Spanish artist Fernando Elvira, who was inspired by the experiences of The North Face athlete team members on the trails surrounding Mont Blanc.
Combining a 3D carbon fibre footplate, midsole rocker geometry and SurfaceCTRL grip, the new North Face Vectiv technology is designed to maximise energy on the trail. The Flight Series Vectiv Shoes are the most responsive. Made for ultra-distances, they’re incredibly durable thanks to Kevlar, polyamide and Matryx fabrics, and reinforced toe caps. The knit uppers are breathable and supportive and the 6mm toe-to-heel offset propels you into your next gait cycle.
