The North Face Purple Label introduces some new, brightly colored pieces to protect hiking enthusiasts against the strong summer winds. The North Face Purple Label collaboration combines the high tech and high protection typical of its products with a fun African tribal-inspired pattern. North Face usually sticks to basic tones and hues for its designs, so these colorful combinations are very refreshing. The North Face Purple Label pieces include one jacket featuring purple with bright orange accents and another featuring popping red with yellow and white accents.
The series boasts pieces for men and women, including a mountain wind parka, a mountain wind vest and a flirty skirt. Each piece is extremely lightweight and 100% waterproof to keep you dry on a rainy day.
