Abrasion-Resistant Fabric

Let's face it – Wear and tear happen. The North Face creates garments equipped to handle harsh environments that would shred conventional apparel. Abrasion comes about in a variety of ways such as pack or harness pressure or from contact with jagged, rocky terrain. To combat abrasive situations, The North Face puts a highly abrasion-resistant fabric - or builds the garment with a double layer of fabric - in abrasion prone areas, such as knees and elbows.
