very true. north face makes high quality apparel and yeah they didnt have a lot of jackets that were sick, but just because they have twall doesnt mean that its the "new trend." it shouldn't matter what people wear, its skiing let people describe their sty. I dont see why so many people on NS freak out about "trends" or "mainstream." Its not a big deal let people rep what they want, you shouldn't hate on kids who buy north face just because they have a new member of North Face. Their stuff is quality and if people are buying it because thats the case, who cares its high quality material.
