DS1620

DS1620 | Upper fabric as used on The North Face technical hiking shoes | Lightweight storm, hardcore protection

---  

????️ Light · breathable, no stuffy feet

Woven from high-density polyester at a weight of just 280g/m², it wraps the feet like a layer of cloud — however long the hike, they stay dry and can breathe.  

????️ Shield-grade protection | Rain or wind, no obstacle

Burst strength up to 16.5kgf/cm² — snagged by gravel or scrub? It takes it head-on.  

???? Durability pushed to the limit

- Tensile strength 261.4N/cm: holds its shape through sharp turns and steep slopes, wrapping every step closely;  

- Flex resistance 80,000 cycles+: in simulated continuous bending equivalent to three full laps of a hiking loop, it still holds its shape;  

- Martindale abrasion certified: after repeated rubbing on sandy and rocky surfaces, the face remains as densely woven as new.  

⛰️ Born for the mountains

Designed for hiking and mountaineering shoes, it balances flexibility with support and provides a stable protective layer on complex terrain — an invisible 'technical add-on' underfoot.
