The North Face at the Carlsbad Premium Outlets on Paseo Del Norte stocks the 1966-founded brand's full outerwear, footwear, and equipment lineup at the 60,500-monthly-search shopping destination near LEGOLAND California. The outlet carries Summit Series alpine shells built with FUTURELIGHT nanospun membranes alongside ThermoBall Eco insulated jackets using post-consumer recycled polyester, a technical layering system relevant to climbers training at VITAL Climbing Gym east of the Village. Founded by mountaineer Doug Tompkins in San Francisco, the VF Corporation subsidiary introduced the first commercial GORE-TEX outerwear in 1977 and pioneered nanospinning waterproof-breathable technology in 2019. Trail runners and hikers heading to Batiquitos Lagoon or Carlsbad State Beach find VECTIV-soled footwear and DryVent rain shells sized for the entire family at this location, which shares the Paseo Del Norte corridor with Columbia Sportswear Company Employee Store. The Summit Series L5 FUTURELIGHT jacket uses a three-layer nanospun membrane achieving air permeability rates above 0.4 CFM while maintaining full hydrostatic-head waterproofness at 20,000mm.
