North Face is my most ride or die brand. I never wanted them to be either but they’ve only ever disappointed me once with a pair of shoes that died before I felt like they should have but outside of that the other probably 2 dozen or so different pieces of north face gear or clothing I have have been just amazing and have exceeded all of my expectations. I actually use the stuff too as someone who has had a life long passion for hiking, camping, climbing, cycling, snowboarding, etc. I was a professional hunting and fishing guide for years and while everyone else wore overpriced Simms or Sitka gear, I was rocking north face gear that cost half the price and lasted longer than all my coworkers stuff.
