In 1966, a brand emerged with a name defining its goal. The North Face got its name from the most challenging side of the mountain to traverse. Since then, they have been one of the most popular and most dependable brands when it comes to the outdoorsman looking to summit the tallest peak, navigate the harshest climate, or just go from the car to the house without being drenched in a downpour. They have now dropped the 2025 rain collection with the goal of getting you from the April showers to the May flowers without spending months soaked to the bone. While they are always stacked with great outdoors gear, there are a few standouts in the collection The North Face released this year for you to consider.
Standouts from the collection
There are three standouts from the collection, depending on what your lifestyle requires. The Antora is modeled after the iconic The North Face Mountain Jacket and is built for versatility. Billed as the perfect town-to-trail companion, this is the one for the guy known for the spontaneous after-work jaunt in the woods. The Alta Vista is the hiker’s best friend, from protecting you from the unexpected rain to packing away neatly in your backpack when the sun comes out. The adjustable hem of the Terrain Vista 3L makes it the perfect choice if you happen to be standing under or near a waterfall in the Columbia Gorge (if you are, invite me along, please). Each piece in the collection features fully seam-sealed construction for complete waterproof integrity, cementing The North Face’s position as the leader in best-in-class water protection. The best of the best for the last 60 years looks to keep up the trend as they release more of the best-in-class wet-weather gear to guard against the springtime downpours.
