The North Face Gets a Face Lift from Pendleton in this New Collection

By Bryan Holt Published August 6, 2021

Avid outdoor lifestyle brands The North Face and Pendleton launched their first ever collaboration on November 29. This limited edition capsule collection is teeming with outdoor protection, style, and all sorts of essentials to help you brave the colder elements this year and beyond, from mountain jackets and vests prepared for frozen temperatures to durable commuter packs, camp mules, and wool hats.

The outerwear and accessories line celebrates also shares rich heritage of outdoor adventure from each company, both in appearance and functionality. The American-made wool signatures from Pendleton, coupled with iconic silhouettes from The North Face, stands up against the cold while also adding a little spice to your winter wardrobe.

Through six generations of family-owned fabric innovation, Portland-based Pendleton crafts unique wool patterns with eco-friendly technology. The company signature is recognized and used worldwide, available in select retailers across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan, Korea, and Australia.

Seeing that both outdoor brands reside on the West Coast (The North Face is from California), it’s somewhat surprising that this is the first time we see the two names together. Nevertheless, the capsule is a perfect blend between The North Face’s favorites styles straight and Pendleton iconic colorways.

New Helly Hansen Odin Collection leans into feedback from ski patrol teams for all-conditions protection

Stylish and ultra-protective - what's not to like?

Helly Hansen Odin Collection

In Norse mythology, Odin wanders the lands disguised as a wizened old man, hiding the truth that he is perhaps the most powerful god of them all. Helly Hansen's origins in Norway mean they know the story of Odin better than most. The new Helly Hansen Odin Collection has been designed in collaboration with ski patrollers, the understated, all-powerful wanderers of the mountain.

Search and rescue teams spend more time on the mountain than anyone else. Though they often look like they're just cruising about, they've got eyes everywhere and are ready to spring into action. Ski patrollers are the first and last people on the mountain daily and must perform in the most brutal and challenging conditions. Who better for Helly Hansen's new line of jackets and pants than a collaboration with ski patrollers? This sleek, understated line doesn't just look the part; it is designed for those who hit the mountain daily, regardless of the weather.
The Helly Hansen Odin Collection
The Helly Hansen Odin Collection may have been a collaboration with two ski patrollers — Stephen Larson and Izzy Holmes, both part of the Ski Patrol team at Heavenly Mountain Resort in Lake Tahoe. Still, the idea was to go beyond a workwear range and provide a capsule that would suit their skiing both in and out of work. As keen ski tourers, Stephen and Izzy needed a range that offered lightweight comfort and optimal temperature regulation. Here's what Helly Hansen came up with.
