007: THE NORTH FACE

🧥 North Face TempestLayer EX — Adaptive Gear of the Next Horizon

“Wear the storm. Command the climate. Become the terrain.”

✨ Origin Legend

Forged in the deep R&D forges of the Neo-Alpine labs, the TempestLayer EX was created not just as a jacket, but as a living interface — designed to respond to temperature, terrain, and your bio-signals in real-time. Whispered about in elite mountaineering guilds and AI-integrated adventurer rings, it’s said the prototype was field-tested on Mars’ Olympus Mons base trek simulations — and survived.
