If you don't already know, spider silk is one of the strongest, most flexible materials out there, which stood as the inspiration for The North Face Moon Parka, which is crafted from synthetic spider silk. Spider silk is strong than steel (yes, you read that correctly) and has been analyzed by the Spiber team for over 11 years in a bid to replicate the material in a form that could be utilized to make clothing. The result of the research and development is The North Face Moon Parka, which is currently on tour in Japan; according to reports, it'll be available for purchase in 2016.
The North Face Moon Parka is proven to be a durable, long-lasting option that is sure to win over consumers when released next year.
