Fitness favorites for the average Jane.
After many years spent hiking, camping and mountain climbing, I’ve accumulated a lot of gear from The North Face. But one of my favorites is The North Face Redpoint Jacket. Granted, this wonderful jacket isn’t anything you would catch legendary mountaineer Conrad Anker or climber/photographer Jimmy Chin wearing, but it’s done a fantastic job keeping me warm and dry on urban explorations of Seattle.
Cute and casual, the women’s Redpoint Jacket has become a well-worn everyday essential. It’s great for commuting to work, wearing on weekends or putting on after yoga practice.
Better yet, the Redpoint Jacket is filled with PrimaLoft® Eco insulation, link to which contains 50% recycled content. This eco-friendly influence falls right in line with The North Face’s commitment to sustainability. In partnership with 350.org, The North Face is striving to reduce the amount of carbon in the world’s atmosphere.
On the streets of Seattle, jackets from The North Face are as familiar as a cup of Starbucks coffee. Seems like everyone is enjoying one or the other (if not both).
“The North Face” refers to the coldest, most unforgiving side of the mountain. But The North Face legend began, ironically, on a beach. More precisely, it was in the San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood at an altitude of only 150 feet above sea level where, in 1966, two hiking enthusiasts resolved to follow their passions and founded a small mountaineering retail store.
Lucky for us, the dreams of these passionate hikers came to fruition as The North Face continues to outfit adventurous souls—like me—the world over. Thanks to The North Face, I’m a lot warmer, drier and happier, whether I’m shopping on Old Ballard Avenue or hiking near Snoqualmie Pass.
