Scot Schmidt, a trailblazing skier of his era renowned for his audacious descents down slopes veiled in powder, achieving speeds surpassing 80 km per hour. More than four decades ago, precisely in 1983, The North Face embraced its role as Schmidt’s inaugural sponsor, propelling the skier to push the boundaries of collaboration through numerous bespoke alterations to his attire. This endeavor left an indelible mark on the landscape of ski fashion, epitomized by the emergence of Steep Tech. Presently, The North Face commemorates the sartorial achievements forged by Schmidt in tandem with his team by unveiling the unprecedented Steep Tech RMST collection. This line transcends convention, embodying characteristics of heightened durability, swifter performance, and reduced weight, artfully calibrated for the contemporary milieu while preserving the essence of its original codes. A testament to the elevated standard within the collection is the RMST Steep Tech GTX Work Jacket, meticulously fashioned with GORE-TEX, featuring an innovative asymmetrical zipper, a detachable hood, and impeccably sealed seams. The avant-garde assortment, The North Face Steep Tech RMST, is presently accessible through the brand’s virtual portal and select boutiques, marking an evolutionary juncture in the realm of high-performance outdoor apparel.
