The North Face Reworks the Denali Jacket For Latest Urban Exploration Capsule
Tonal pieces in technical fabrics that are made for warm weather.
The North Face has released the fourth installment of its Urban Exploration capsule, which returns with the “Denali Reimagined” collection.
Following on from the “Lemon” capsule, which landed in March as the third part of the series, the new offering comprises four pieces that are designed for mix-and-match. The collection is inspired by the brand’s “Denali” fleece jacket; key design elements from the garment have been applied to new pieces, alongside details that draw from wall-climbing gear. The brand’s stated aim is to empower “city explorers” by creating a series of functional garments that are designed with urban life in mind. In a minimal, tonal palette of black, navy, olive green and white, the pieces prioritize technical fabrics and functionality.
The collection is ideally suited for warmer days; highlights include the DWR-treated City D2 Shirt, a short-sleeve style in a lightweight CORDURA®, and the Pocket Tee, which is made from a breathable, sweat-wicking FlashDry™ fabric. The wall-climbing influences are apparent in the collection’s Climber Shorts and Pants, which include a detachable chalk bag that can be worn on the waist or as a shoulder sling. Both are created in a microporous fabric that’s designed for breathability and comfort.
Take a look at the entire “Denali Reimagined” in the gallery above, and shop the collection when it lands on North Face’s website on May 14.
The brand has taken a proactive approach to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis with the launch of its Explore Fund to support exploration companies impacted by the global pandemic.
