My Futurelight bibs are great and it's time for a jacket update. I've decided to not pay my taxes and use that money to shower myself with some more expensive TNF outerwear.

Search barred and Googled, but no luck. Hopefully someone can help me figure out when/if the new 2021 TNF Futurelight Steep Series outerwear line is dropping???

Hey man, everything is pushed back, for Canada at least. Steep series should be out somewhere in October, normally mid-October.

Are you looking for a specific jacket?

Purist A-Cad and Brigandine are returning with new colors. Usually mid to late October. I got a Brigandine last year and the pocket ripped after 1 ski day. Futurelight works, I love the bibs they’re great. Take my experience with a grain, I’m hard on my shit.

Just found you can go to http://www.the northface.eu and set your location to “Finland” while still viewing in English to see the steep series line up and colors. Hoping this launches soon in US

Anyone has any updates? I've been looking at the website everyday for 1 month straight for steep or summit series futurelight jackets. Nothing. I'm beginning to lose hope. (I am looking on the canadian site)

Manufacturing hasn’t gotten any better because the virus hasn’t gotten any better. There’s bigger things going on then a TNF clothing line

Are you looking for TNF because you are buying with the 50% for healthcare workers ? if so steep series is excluded from that discount.
You should start looking elsewhere, with black friday actually running you should look for some stuff at your local shop.

I know but I’m not a healthcare worker. I just wanted to buy TNF’s futurelight because I really like the brand and the fabric. I’ll wait a little more and go with another brand if nothing shows up!

Hey I just checked ,the Futurelight stuff has dropped for this season at least the A-CAD and the Brigandine jacket.

How do you like your futurelight stuff?

TNF makes some pretty big claims about it including great breathability. I'm a huge fan of the 90% recycled fabrics. But I have also heard complaints about it wetting out prematurely. I would love to hear your experience, TNF Futurelight is definitely on my radar for when I have to replace my current shell.

I'm a backcountry skier looking at the 3 jackets in the men's Steep Series line - the Brigandine, Purist, and A-CAD. What are the intended use cases for each? I can't tell much difference between these products aside from having a few more pockets.

Would love to hear some feedback now that y'all have skied a season in these.

not completely relevant but I bought a pretty pricy future light rain jacket for backpacking last spring. ended up wetting out easily, was very disappointed.
