As an avid outdoorsman, I don’t know many who wear/use Northface in these parts anyway. (Montana). I think it’s been an urban/frat boy brand for wannabes for quite a while. Massive $ premium in the brand name versus legit backcountry gear.
I don’t buy north face. There is better mountaineer gear for lower 48.
I still do some mixed alpine climbs. None of the big mountains.
I know a few guides that work on Everest. North Face does make a line of gear for over 20,000 ft. The guides all say it is top notch gear.
What brands do you like?
Still quite functional.
Won't buy any of the new crap, especially, now.
Really, NF?
