In September 2019 eight Ellis Brigham team members from stores across the UK took on the challenge of summiting Mont Blanc (4,808m) whilst testing out the new FUTURELIGHT™ collection from The North Face.
The week consisted of re-familiarising the team with a range of skills that would be needed throughout the trip as well as acclimatisation. The first few days were spent based in the Torino hut, an Italian hut connected to the Skyway lift from Courmayeur, located at 3,375m. Spending at least 3 days at this altitude gave the team the best chances of being well-prepared for the ascent of Mont Blanc via the Goûter route.
FUTURELIGHT™ is a revolutionary breathable-waterproof outerwear technology. What sets FUTURELIGHT™ apart from other competitor technologies is enhanced breathability - innovative waterproofing - superior softness - proven durability - sustainably driven.

Amazing video!👍👍👍 Ofcourse one is a bit sceptical about sponsored content but...I have tried one of these and it is an amazing feeling how light and soft they are. If they are as durable as it says on the tin, then it is a very good jacket. Not cheap thou...😮

@@sourdiesel8119 May I ask which model you have? I am thinking of buying Summit Futurelight Jacket 3L (after 2 years, they are in great sale), so not the highest (5L). I will do hikes (winter, summer) in it, skialp/skitouring (just hobby), and that's. I need something i) waterproof, ii) windproof and BREATHABLE. I sweat a lot, so what Future Light advertise seems to be perfect for me (somehow more breatable version of Gore Tex, something like Gore Tex Pro). Would you have any thoughts or recommendations?

@@mariazelenayova9070 Hi Maria. i use the L5 jacket in winter. i cant stand the feel of sweat. This is were the jacket excelled. when you move the material opens and when you stop it closes. The jacket is extra tuff and not too haevy. the hood is perfect with a helmet but a bit big without. Everything about the jacket i love and highly recommend it.

@@sourdiesel8119 Thank you for your answer. I am the same, I hate unnecessary sweat. Well, I will check L5 again :)

The central bank says most Americans cannot afford $500 of unexpected payment and then you have guys that spend $500 on a fucking rain jacket and pants wtf?

Um, if you got nothing to spend. Surely moutaineering is not your thing. Some people spend 500 dollars at a lunch. This said from someone who does not have a lot of money himself.
