Celebrate 30 Years of Adventure at The North Face HIMALAYAN PARKA 30th Anniversary Exhibition in K11 Art Mall

Introducing the 30th Anniversary Himalayan Parka, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and cold-resistance capabilities
Over the years, the classic Himalayan Parka has accompanied many world-renowned mountaineers, including Peter Athans, Kit DesLauriers, and Jimmy Chin, as they overcame challenges and reached new heights. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the jacket, the brand has drawn inspiration from the original 1994 design and created the HIMALAYAN PARKA 30 ANNIVERSARY PARKA Collection. The jackets are elevated with the know-how and improvements from the past 30 years, providing comprehensive protection for explorers on their journeys from the mountains to the city, while paying homage to their never-give-up spirit.

喜馬拉雅羽絨外套三十周年紀念版別注登場精湛工藝全方位提升禦寒機能
The North Face 經典喜馬拉雅羽絨外套自 1994 年推出至今，陪伴過不少享譽國際的傳奇登山者如 Peter Athans、 Kit DesLauriers、金國威等跨越挑戰，登上高峰。為慶祝 The North Face 經典喜馬拉雅羽絨外套（HIMALAYAN PARKA）誕生三十周年，品牌從 1994 年經典款式汲取靈感，經過重新設計與全面改良，推出一系列全新 2024 喜馬拉雅羽絨外套三十周年紀念版，透過精湛工藝打造出眾的禦寒裝備，為探索者從山野到城市的旅途提供全方位防護，致敬三十年的輝煌歷程。

The 30ᵗʰ Anniversary Parka features lofty RDS¹ certified 600-fill goose down for warmth and exceptional compressibility. It has also undergone DWR² water-repellent treatment, providing excellent cold resistance and protection. With the limited-edition logo embroidered on the chest, the overall design reimagines the classic, effortlessly enhancing outdoor exploration while embodying extraordinary style.

30周年紀念款以限定版 LOGO 為設計主軸，採用 600 RDS¹認證羽絨填充，提供高效的保暖性能和出色的壓縮性，方便收納，並搭配 DWR²防潑水處理，賦予卓越的抗寒與防護性能，重新演繹經典裝備，輕鬆駕馭戶外探索，以及非凡時尚潮流格調。

¹RDS (Responsible Down Standard) independently certifies animal welfare practices in down and feather production, tracking down the certified down from farm to final product.
²DWR is a lightweight fabric that is water-repelling and water-resistant which blocks moisture on the fabric surface while offering high breathability. It also provides quick drying to keep the fabric clean.

¹RDS甄選羽絨天然，可追溯每一朵羽絨起源，高效阻隔冷空氣。
²DWR: 水分子滲透物料的防線。主要功能是將水分阻截在物料表面，且這種處理會增強物料的透氣性。在加快其干燥速度的同時，能有效阻塵阻油，保持衣物表面潔淨。

THE NORTH FACE X CLOT 2024 NEW COLLABORATION LAUNCH “AFTER DARK” – EXPLORING THE POLAR SNOWSCAPE FOR AURORA

22 December 2023, Hong Kong - The North Face reveals its second collaboration with pioneering streetwear label CLOT, set to launch on 1 January 2024. Following the first collaboration inspired by iridescent clouds during the golden hour, the new collection takes its cue from the mesmerizing aurora colors of the North Pole after nightfall and leverages cutting-edge technology and ingenious pairing, redefining outdoor fashion. Meticulously crafted outdoor pieces and gear perfectly combine bold innovative designs and vibrant color palettes, helping discover the limitless possibilities of outdoor wear.

Venture into the wilderness under the northern lights
The North Face x CLOT new collaboration draws inspiration from the feeling of wonder experienced when witnessing the northern lights, capturing the feeling of awe in a new perspective. The patterns of aurora and cosmic sky printed on the fabric capture the feeling of wonder during exploration. Meanwhile, the mysterious colors of solar blue, geyser aqua, radiant poppy, and gamma pink collide with the beauty of nature, vividly creating the unique style of the new collection.

The North Face x CLOT Aurora Snow Jacket adopts the three-layer waterproof DRYVENT¹ technology to ensure durability and features a detachable hood with adjustable straps, which can be paired with a helmet for added protection during your skiing adventures. Its two-way zipper with an internal draft flap effectively blocks any cold winds to retain warmth. The jacket’s seamless shoulder design also provides explorers with the most lightweight comfort. Paired with the jacket, the Aurora Snow Bib incorporates an articulated fit designed for skiing and an exceptional suspender-adjustment system to provide a comfortable experience for explorers. In its upper part, the drop-in mesh pockets' high capacity meets the storage needs, and the eye-catching contrasting-colored zippers highlight the fashionable exterior.

To maximise warmth retention, slip on The North Face x CLOT 2 in 1 Hooded Fleece Top as the inner layer. The jacket features a detachable hood and sleeves, allowing explorers to mix and match with ease. The North Face x CLOT Fleece 2 in 1 Pants also showcase a color-blocked pocket and waistband, and are interchangeable into shorts, keeping you warm in style. Both items come in a dual color-blocked combination of Solar Blue with Gamma Pink or TNF Black.

On top of their DWR² water repellent material, The North Face x CLOT Universe Down Jacket and Pants also feature lofty RDS³ certified 800-fill goose down, giving explorers a lightweight yet warming experience. The down items also integrate The North Face's iconic lining design, providing a sleek and clean style for explorers to glide through the snow freely. Pair it with The North Face x CLOT Logo Hoodie and its daring color-contrasting design to exude contemporary style and a carefree attitude.

Brighten up the dark with accessories
The North Face x CLOT II collaboration has also introduced a range of accessories with unique design elements. Showcasing the dazzling hues of the aurora borealis. The North Face x CLOT Snow Mitt keeps the practical needs of skiers and explorers in mind, riding on The North Face's DRYVENT technology to create the most comfortable gear for outdoor expeditions. The North Face x CLOT Snow Hood comes in TNF Black with a cosmic print and makes use of a soft fleece material, adapting to explorers' needs in the cold. For explorers' organisational needs, the collection puts a twist on the classic Duffel silhouette and creates The North Face x CLOT Base Camp Duffel, utilising contrasting splicing colors to create a radiant look. The North Face x CLOT Logo Beanie features the joint logo printed on the front and back, adorned with silver glitters and a metal stitching element, adding vibrant colors to the journey of exploration.

A fun-filled family journey of exploration
Discover the impossible, regardless of age. The North Face x CLOT II collaboration extends to childrenswear, featuring universe-inspired down jackets, fleece tops, and other outdoor items. Thoughtfully crafted in various sizes, these pieces are tailored to fit the body shape of the young explorers who are enthusiastic about outdoor adventure and fashion. This ensures that they can effortlessly demonstrate their skills and illuminate the snow field. The childrenswear collection is exclusively available at The North Face K11 Art Mall Concept Store.

The North Face x CLOT II collaboration will be available at The North Face Hysan Place Exploration Concept Store, The North Face K11 Art Mall Concept Store and The North Face Pacific Place Urban Exploration Concept Store from 1 January 2024 exclusively for XPLR Pass members*, as well as at JUICE STORE. We invite the explorer in you to join us and experience the collection’s nature-inspired elements and practical outdoor functionality, awakening the spirit of adventure within.

No matter where you are, never stop exploring.
