The North Face Brigandine Jacket:
When your day involves skinning up the mountain, dropping cornices, finding lines in super-tight trees, and hitching a ride home in the back of someone’s pickup, your outerwear is going to take some abuse. Good thing The North Face Men’s Fuse Brigandine Jacket features the new FuseForm technology, which integrates targeted extra-durable, abrasion-resistant zones in the places where a big-mountain rider takes the most abuse: the shoulders, sides, and inner arms. These heavyweight nylon sections combine with the midweight nylon body of the jacket to keep things lightweight and low-profile.

The North Face Brigandine Pant:
The North Face used its new FuseForm construction technique on the Men’s Fuse Brigandine Pant to create durable, abrasion-resistant zones in areas that take the most abuse while you’re big-mountain riding. These heavyweight zones seamlessly integrate with the midweight nylon fabric that makes up the rest of this pant. What does that mean to you? It means you can skin up, tear down, drop cliffs, and navigate trees in a pant that feels light, moves with you, but won’t rip apart when you take those inevitable diggers, spills, and tree branch run-ins.
