My North Face Summit jacket is over 20 years old and except for the zipper runner, it feels like new. Best clothing purchase I ever made - every ski trip, bad weather hike, lots of random winter walks, camping trips - works perfectly. I don't plan to replace it, this one will last my whole adult life. I would not chose yellow a second time, though.
- thecopy 4y agoIn the last few years TNF has increased focus on streetwear though. I have become more hesitant to buy gear from them due to this since i suspect this has affected quality.
- muro 4y agoThat's possible. I would still start with North Face for a jacket if I needed one due to great experience, possibly compare to an ArcTeryx - had great experience with them too. Both are very expensive of course.
- exabrial 4y agoThat's a pretty dang solid lifespan (and thank you for choosing function over staying-current-with fashion trends). I have not seen current generation TNF jackets have the same reliability (in my very unscientific study)... maybe times have changed.
