The North Face (TNF) is debuting The New Backcountry collection for 2018-19, a line inspired in part by the 2018 US Freeskiing Olympic team uniforms created by TNF and as well as the droves of skiers who are implementing terrain park trickery in the backcountry. With a fashion-forward focus, like a longer length in back and a pullover build with serious technical details, the Ceptor Anorak and Ceptor Bib are going to be hot commodities this fall. The DryVent three-layer shell features two zippered chest and hand pockets, underarm vents and jacket-to-pant integration. From the chairlift to the skin track, from the park to the backcountry, this jacket is a winner through and through. “This was my favorite kit from the test,” said tester Hayden Korte-Moore. “The color was wicked, the waterproofing, durability and dexterity of it was also top-notch. Seriously considering buying this for next season.”
