And every single product is priced up 200% of comparable brands. I buy a lot of outdoor gear and The North Face really fell off once it became streetwear.
The preps wore North Face in high school. I've always seen them as a snobby brand. High priced and short lived. I'll stick with my Carhartts and Duluth Trading clothes.
When your snowboarding or sking all day carharts and Duluth definitely will not cut it. I kinda take offense you view me as a snob because of the gear I wear outdoors. I can assure I'm not and have never been a snob. I have Northface jackets, pants, gloves, and snow boats. It just gives me the excuse to get some new gear. I'm not too upset about it, who doesn't like to buy a bunch of new stuff? By the way I'm a country boy, don't get the wrong impression because of a stupid clothing brand. My Oakley gear costs more than almost all my north face stuff.
You use it for it's purpose, no hate. The preps used it as a status symbol. I want my $100 Carhartt coat to last me 5-7 years. When I retire my coat it's because it's shredded and no longer keeps out the cold, not because it's not the current design.
