TNF Innovates winning entry! (1)
I always seek out adventure, and I know that there’s always a risk going outside. It could happen in an unexpected place and time. Weather can change dramatically and situations can be very uneasy, and in some extremes, even dangerous.
During a recent climb in the highest point in Cavite – Mt. Pico de Loro, I had my “Great TNF Experience.”
Things look very cool during the day climb. The trails in Mt. Pico were surrounded by diverse flora and so the hours trekking the woody paths were mostly enjoyable. We camped on a grassy clearing south of the mountain and planned the summit attack on the next day.
A night on a mountain was different in low lands. On this climb, we experienced an unexpected weather change. Rain poured followed by strong winds. Trees around the campsites bended left and right and my tent’s rain-fly was damaged. Wind and water were going inside my tent. It was very uncomfortable and I was somehow exposed to the elements as the temperature dropped and the wind howls louder.
The situation calls for an immediate action, so I put on my TNF Resolve Jacket and counted on it. It’s seam-sealed and Hyvent Technology provide me with comfort and safety on this adventure.
The summit was hours away and I need to have the strength for the peak attack; The North Face Resolve Jacket helped me get through the night, and let me put both feet on the summit in the highest point in Cavite the next day.
Here’s the bounty:
The North Face 100 Shirt.
The North Face (TNF) 100 shirt is an amazing technical shirt, and is good for various types of adventure because of its great wicking properties. The shirt is made of 100% polyester, and is very light. I tried the shirt in one of my 6km test run two days ago – Really amazing shirt! I would like to thank The North Face Philippines for the great shirt and to all others out there “Never Stop Exploring.”
