The North Face Urban Exploration launches the second part of the Urban Utility capsule for the season to continue the 'Dialogue with Urban Exploration.' The new range is full of earth hues or dark navy blue, olive green, khaki, and midnight purple.

The main purpose of these is to really spotlight the background of the city. Some of the notable items in the capsule include the ten pocket jacket with DryVent fabric with waterproof capabilities with functional straps across the entire silhouette. Notably, the inside of the jacket lining showcases a poem that is inspired by an interview with Kenneth "Hap" Klopp, a Co-Founder of The North Face. He references the book, 'On the Road" expressing the free mountains and wild outdoors.
