Are you sick & tired of seeing North Face jackets all over the face of the Earth?

*shrug* I have a North Face backpack, great bag. Not quite as tough as the NF bag I had previously, but nicer.
They make great stuff. I've wished I had a NF jacket since I was about 13, pretty much because of that previous backpack.
I totally understand the frustration with wearing adventure gear like designer clothing, but even though I'm not trekking a frozen mountain the weather I ride through calls for a bit more than a light windbreaker and Jansport pos bag

theyre just wearing NF fleeces and shit. it isnt like they are out rocking a himalayan down suit, with gators over their boots and two layer gloves where the pinky and ring finer and one piece. theyre wearing stuff thats for casual lifestyle anyway.
its like wearing an astars shirt.

I personally try not to wear anything that has words on it.

No, Cliff Clavin would have also told everyone that the North Face actually almost went bankrupt and was sold to VF for near nothing just before they went into Chapter 11. An interesting tangent is that many of the management team that ran North Face into the ground then went on to purchase another iconic brand that had fallen on hard times, revitalized it and made a small fortune selling it. Guess which one.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
with today's ghey looking "slim fit" for men, it's hard to find a relaxed casual fitting clothes...not a big fan of brands but north face or timberland seems to be the few brands that have normal fitting clothes...

Five years ago I bought a windproof North Face fleece jacket with hood to wear under my sailing outer jacket. We were delivering a sailboat to Long Beach and since it was early December, I wanted wind protection from the chill of the Pacific Ocean. Anyway the skipper and the new owner didn't anticipate a winter storm blowing on us. And neither did I. But when it comes to sailing on the ocean, you gotta be prepared.
And boy, did we get hit by a storm! lol During the midnight to 6 a.m. watch I ended up getting soaked through and through two nights in a row. If it wasn't for that NF jacket, plus my thermals, I'd have ended up like the rest of the crew, shaking from the cold. For some reason they were wearing mostly cotton clothing.

I'm a big NF fan. I grew up in the Carpathian mountains and outdoor stuff was just what I grew up doing. Hiking and climbing was an every weekend activity.
Except I was dirt poor and I did it all on my normal street wear drooling over catalogs from Germany with sweet outdoor/hiking gear.
First thing I bought from my very first paycheck in US was a pair of Timberland hiking boots. Had them for years.
Now I'm too damn busy and fat for real outdoor stuff but I can afford the nice gear.
Btw if NF is not making you feel special enough http://www.arcteryx.com/?EN
They have a place in Berkley.

I finally broke down and bought a North Fuckface Windwall jacket a coupla years ago. Hate to admit it, but it's seriously useful gear for wind, cold, backpacking, hiking, and as a wind/waterproof layer beneath a moto jacket.
I'm not a special snowflake, boo hoo.

Yeah, NF is ubiquitous, which is why I like LL Bean. Quality stuff, reasonably priced, and not worn by every twit this side of the Marina...
Except in Boston, everyone's hating on LL Bean and talking up their North Face gear.
