Details : Rare Scot Schmidt (pioneering free skier) designed Steep Tech North Face jacket. From Complex - "The utilitarian look and aspirational appeal of Steep Tech launched Schmidt’s jackets off the Chugach Mountains of Alaska and into the streets of New York City in the ’90s. The jacket was co-signed by members of Method Man’s entourage in the 1993 Wu-Tang Clan music video for “Method Man.”Diddy wore a late-’90s Steep Tech while nearly crashing an 18-wheeler on his way to meet Black Rob in the “Whoa!” video. And New York skate legend Harold Hunter face planted onto the floor while rocking a mid-’90s Steep Tech Azimuth in the “1999” music video. Although Schmidt’s jackets never garnered the large sales numbers the Nuptse puffer did in the ’90s, rappers, graffiti writers, and shoplifters in New York City took to Steep Tech and other ingenious designs by The North Face for its cool look and functionality."
