The North Face 40th Anniversary Mountain jacket celebrates the legendary high performance silhouette from 1985 with a very special revival release.
Whether it’s pop music, films or subculture there’s just something about the 1980s that we’ll still probably be talking about for the next 50 years. There was a general sense of optimism in the air as a new yuppie culture renovated loft apartments in the major cities. Gentrification, a new found fitness craze & the launch of the FTSE 100 (here in the UK) in 1984 marked a new era of money, fashion & pop culture. 1985 saw Reebok release their legendary “all leather” fitness shoe, the Club C, in 1985 catering for a new generation of fitness fanatics. Sylvester Stallone returned to the jungle as Rambo in First Blood Part 2 & Pete Burns span us right round with Dead Or Alive & the 80s synth-pop classic. 1985 also marked a pivotal moment for the San Francisco born outdoors brand, The North Face, with the launch of their legendary Mountain jacket. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the high performance silhouette, The North Face have released a very special anniversary edition.
Following a celebratory 30th anniversary year of another TNF classic, the Himalayan Parka last year, 2025 will mark the 40th anniversary of the highly respected Mountain jacket. With its long standing connection to street culture, the Mountain jacket was first introduced in 1985 as a high performance mountaineering jacket. Tried & tested on the world’s highest peaks even in the extremes of Everest, the Mountain jacket used state of the art fabrics & innovation. Famous for its bold colourways, the Mountain jacket has remained a fan favorite over the last 40 years from Brooklyn to Berlin.
Available in unisex sizing the 40th Anniversary jacket is engineered with seam-sealed waterproof GORE-TEX® for the some of the best fabric innovation the industry has to offer. A DWR finish adds further water repellency with the classic storm flap hood for that classic TNF style. An internal draw-cord ensures an optimal fit with pit-zip venting for added cooling function.
