interested in the quality. anyone own this shit? pricepoints are alittle crazy...

edit for the jerkoffs:

i never said discuss the aesthetics/looks of these...

i was interested in the quality. my co-workers and i were thinking of getting a b-day gift for our company's prez. it's conservative, but the addition of one of these northface peices to his wardrobe would def be cohesive. while conservative, he probably dresses better than most of your parents/grandparents.

Does it get cold enough over there to wear those North Face coats?

what do you mean?

I thought you were in Hawaii.

I only said that because the 2 times I've been there a North face coat was the last thing I could imagine wearing

I am speaking solely because I own Arcteryx with primaloft, which is what many of these jackets are made off.

Jackets are light as fuck, and keep you pretty warm. I forego most of my snowboarding gear in favor of my Arcteryx Scorprion now.

If you like the looks I say go for it. You may also want to check out Arcteryx LEAF. Here is a retailer you might want to check out <a href="http://www.shadowenterprises.net/detail.aspx?ID=93."> here. </a>

What is this, some bullshit for the financial professional looking for "stylish wet weather options"?

I think it looks horrible, and if The North Face's recent quality control is anything to go by (based on an ultralight down sleeping bag I purchased for Alaska, not some fucking shell I wear from the library to the campus center and swear is "hella sturdy dude") I would avoid it.

If I'm trecking to Antarctica I'll buy a Canada Goose jacket.

This shits just tacky fake futurist I wanna look like Neo stuff for people with too much money.

[keagan]

who the fuck would pay 1200 for a fucking northface jacket???

[individualsole]

Those jackets are nuts, but those prices need to come down about 50%. And I thought I was crazy getting one of those North Face Japan NSE Jackets.

Pretty much all there is to it.

This is a joke.
