North Sails is a brand born literally from the sea, founded on a genuine obsession with performance and innovation . Born in 1957 not as a fashion brand but as a sailmaker , founded by legendary sailor and Olympic champion Lowell North, its goal was one: to build the fastest and most technologically advanced sails in the world.

This deep engineering heritage is the beating heart of the brand. North Sails isn't just inspired by nautical style; it's technical nautical style.

The transition to apparel (the North Sails Apparel line) was the natural evolution of this expertise: its garments, especially outerwear, are designed with the same mindset. They are high-performance, durable, functional garments built to withstand the elements. Today, the brand is also a strong advocate for sustainability and ocean protection, closing a circle that inextricably links the brand to water.
