When it comes to outdoor gear and apparel, The North Face is a name that has become synonymous with quality and performance. For years, it has been at the forefront of developing cutting-edge outdoor products, and this time, The North Face has taken a bold step into the world of urban fashion with its new GORE-TEX denim collection. GORE-TEX, a waterproof and breathable fabric membrane, is no stranger to the world of outdoor wear, but The North Face has ingeniously merged it with the classic appeal of denim to create a line of stylish and highly functional techwear.
GORE-TEX is composed of stretched polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), better known as Teflon, which is a material renowned for its waterproof and breathable properties. It efficiently repels water while allowing water vapor to escape, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable in a wide range of conditions. While GORE-TEX is commonly used in rainwear, The North Face has leveraged its capabilities to create its new line.
Urban chic meets outdoor performance with the GTX Mountain Jacket
The standout piece in The North Face’s GORE-TEX denim collection is the GTX Mountain Jacket. This GORE-TEX jacket is designed with the urban explorer in mind and seamlessly combines style with functionality. Here’s a closer look at some of its key features:
- Relaxed fit: The relaxed fit ensures comfort without compromising on style. It’s perfect for layering over your favorite streetwear.
- Waterproof GORE-TEX fabric: The durable GORE-TEX jacket fabric keeps you dry in the rainiest of city streets.

- Fully seam sealed: All seams are sealed to prevent water from seeping in through the stitching.
- Adjustable hood: The attached hood has a drawcord and the cord locks to allow you to customize the fit to your liking.
