Reimagined Technical Vest Designs

The North Face Takes the ABS Vest Silhouette to a New Angle

The North Face Urban Exploration Line sees a new addition to its special range of goods in the form of an updated BS Vest. The silhouette celebrates alpine skiing and this marks the fifth and last collection made up of four items in a monochromatic palette.

The original was first showcased back in 2012 as the result of the collaborative work between The North Face and German brand ABS. It stands for 'avalanche airbag system' and was made for alpine patrollers as well as backcountry skiers for safety, landing on the surface of an avalanche. The new update is spotlighted by the airflow fabrication with micro-pore technology, delivering both breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities.
