People are still wearing their North Face Jackets?

[silverkris]

Yes I still wear North Face. Why not? It's practical and keeps me warm. Just got a down one that I got for a trip to Quebec, which really helped keep me warm in -19 C weather there.

Probably a better value than Monclear or Canada Goose, which probably cost 2x as much.

Thanks for the earthworm picture! But really I was curious about what the jackets looked like.

I doubt i would buy one but, don't see those jackets as feminine ... They look better than the north face (or any other brad for that matter ) stay-puff marshmallow man look ...which i think is what those jackets are doing.


Besides I remember wearing fitted jeans in the 80s as a kid along with everyone else, and no one thought it feminine. Why are fitted clothes feminine now? I guess wearing loose fitting clothes to hid your beer belly is "masculine?"

I have owned 3 North Face winter coats. They were all 2 Piece, a waterproof outer shell and hood, with either a down vest or jacket under it. The jacket is a good convertible. That Puffy look has gone away to light weight materials. Even the Womens items look good, with cool stitching or materials.

I do have the Heavyweight Fleece Hoodie, which has to be a favorite of mine.
