The North Face is obviously most well known for their incredible winter jackets and cold weather gear, but the brand has quite a few other pieces of note that are just as great—like The North Face Urban Exploration Collection. Described by The North Face as “the downtown expression of our brand,” the collection is focused on balancing utilitarian, high-quality outdoor gear with innovative designs and technology while still presenting silhouettes you won’t mind wearing all day. The latest additions to the line for Spring/Summer 2018 are black and khaki, military-inspired pieces like a technical jacket, pants and a group of bags, packs and pouches all designed to work with a Molle-style system. Individual pieces from the updated Urban Exploration collection are already available through select The North Face retailers, but the collection isn’t expected to pop up for sale online until later this year.
