Northface jackets

[SAWYER]

I can't go anywhere without seeing everyone wearing these, is this the latest trendy thing to wear?

 

[RagingBITCH]

Latest? Where have you been the past 10 years?

 

[zerocool1]

i swear everybody i know has one. i've resisted the temptation thus so far.

 

[jemcam]

I bought one 3 years ago. It's the nicest light jacket I've ever had. Expensive though!

 

[SAWYER]

I have never noticed them until recently

Seriously... today I saw a bunch of guys wearing Timberland boots. WTF is up with that? Must be something new.

Don't see them much out of college

they're nice, but expensive. go to REI and get the same thing for half the price.

Where do you live? someplace that doesn't get very much cold weather?

I can proudly say that I wore North Face before it became a fad.

More expensive at the time too....


I've moved on (Arcteryx, Cloudveil, Backcountry).

looked at getting one for skiing, just couldnt bring myself to pay the price difference

their michelin man dawn jacket is very good, light, warm and the fabric is unbelievably strong even though it's thin.

Yeah, good techincal outerwear makes it great outdoors gear but most never use it for that.

Mountain Hardwear is the new North Face. Get with it!

Yep true that, they seem to be the college trend/cool thing to own, them and Macs.

they are lightweight and warm. maybe a little trendy but they do a great job.

but as PP said, not exactly the "latest" trend. 5 years from now you can post about these new ugg boots with fur everyone is wearing.

Big college fad

 

[vi edit]

I've had one for about 5 years now. It's a Gore-Tex outer shell. I couldn't give two craps about it being trendy. It's comfortable, versatile, functional, and has held up well for something that gets worn probably 150 days a year x 5 years.

Those sound HOT!

I've checked them out and they seem quite comfortable, but nowhere near the quality of the similarly priced browning and carhartt jackets we have at our store.

My current North Face coat is thus far the longest surviving winter coat I've owned by a signifigant margin.

What do they use it for?
