Announcement of MOON PARKA® prototype

MOON PARKA®, the prototype of the world’s first piece of clothing made from artificial protein material. This achievement marks the world’s first successful use of synthetic spider silk materials on an actual manufacturing line, a giant leap toward fully harnessing the power of next-generation protein materials. The design is based on THE NORTH FACE’S top-of-the-line Antarctica Parka outerwear jacket and it expresses the strong determination and spirit needed to explore locations even more extreme than the Antarctic, as well as the limitless possibilities this project holds.
