Quote from TheOldinOut : Not everyone is all about appearances like you are. If there is no substance behind the appearances, it doesn't mean much to me.

so you are saying the materials of these worth 3-4x more than the cheap ones at old navy/gap? that i highly doubt.

Like I said, we are overpaying for everything if you think about, whether its housing, food at the restaurant, clothes or a car because no one works or exists for FREE. Unless you work for The North Face in finance/accounting, you really don't know their profit margins, all assumptions on your part.

You really going to crunch numbers and analyze every single purchase to see if you are not overpaying? LOL

Quote from RubenZ : Thats what people who over pay for items have to tell themself. Same damn fabric. Just because it says North Face doesn't make the fabric special LOL

Lol, have you ever done any real outdoor activity with these cheaper brands. I bought a cheap ski jacket and bib from macys and the gap for my little kids. After 1 day of light skiing, and a couple of falls, her legs were soaked wet because the material was not water repellant enough. The cheap ski gloves we got from Academy Sports and outdoors also kept her hands cold and wet. That never happened with the north face and spyder pants and gloves the following year.

To compare material with a brand like Old Navy or any other cheap brands shows your ignorance truly.

It is more reasonable to compare with a brand like Columbia which is pretty decent in quality for less money. But even Columbia is not that cheap anymore on their upper level line. And when there is a sale like this, it makes the price difference almost neglible.

Some overpriced stuffs are worth it, like apple stuffs...

Not really, I have nothing Apple...you sound like one of those consumers who wants to keep up with the Jones and will purchase blindly for whatever the new trend is regardless of substance because you think you will be perceived as cool because of it, yet you're here ranting cluelessly about a brand's profit margins.

wtf is the point of posts like this? If you don't wanna buy the item for your own personal reasons, then so be it...

Thank you for your almighty opinions, now scram

Why do you think Apple stuff is worth the premium and yet cannot fathom that brands like TNF can be also?

I do agree TNF at retail is quite pricey but when on sale, it is very justifiable when you compare it to comparable brands (not Old Navy/Gap/Macys, etc.)

I was going to bring up the example of video cards like some ATI Crossfire cards vs. some cheap cirrus logic $10 card, but the Apple example you brought up is good enough.

What kind of substance are you referring to?

Materials, craftsmanship, customer service, warranties, etc. North Face has a lifetime guarantee on most of their items, that's a big plus for me and many consumers.

Ahhh I see. I've got a few NF jackets myself. I like the design and material as well, but I usually only buy it at a discount or at the NF outlet. Never full price.

What silly girl would wanna give it up just because you are sporting some silly headphones with a "b" logo on it? Silly.

Anyway, back to the thread... I hope this Windwall jacket is nice. I like to roll the sleeves up and wear these casually when out. Since I'm in Texas, it's not really cold enough to get a Denali or anything bigger. First time going with a Windwall though.

Anyway....I was searching for the Osito jacket for my nieces and the cheapest I found was $75, these were on sale for $55 after the coupon. I have one and I love it. It is super soft and cozy.

Advice please, I am 5 ' 7" & 145 lbs,Atlas Triclimate Jacket only S available.
Thanks.

Got the triclimate jacket as well for an upcoming ski trip. Repped.
