    I think I got my NF Mules on the same sale. Wear them every day around the house. But they are beginning to wear away unfortunately :-)

    52 euro for a beanie hat and that's the sale price. Think I'll leave it.

    Way back I didn't wear their gear as I thought it was overpriced for what it was and thought it was drab, colourless stuff grand for doing stuff I didn't do (wandering around outside in the cold).

    Since NorthFace gear has become a uniform for skangers, wannabe skangers and scrotes across UK & Ireland I'd not be seen dead in it.

    I have a duck down jacket (not NorthFace) that I wear a handful of times a year when it's cold enough to need it so I'm not in the market for anything in their range that's functional either. But I wouldn't consider anything from them as an option.

    I have a few pairs of AirMax which skangers are also fond of but I tend not to buy the ones that skangers are into, taste etc is a great guide IMO.

    hahaha, no worries, weird opinion, but shur there yea go, i think they make very good gear, very comfortable, but i will agree, overpriced, but most clothes are, those poor Chinese kids that make out clothes

    was unaware of north faces own gore-tex brand, futurelight, any experience with this on the mountains, is it as good as gore-tex?

    It's grand for outdoors folk IMO, much like HH gear...... I'd not wear that casually in a fit either as it's worn by a load of knobs. Grand on a boat though.

    I'm speaking as an adult :) I don't really want to dress like a teenager.
    I went to school in Bishopstown, plenty wannabe skangers there iirc :pac:
    Best of luck to him with his teaching career.

    I'm fully aware there are folk other than skangers, wannabe skangers and outdoorsy folk who wear NF but as I said, IMO the brand has been ruined.

    Skangers / people with dodgy money are often the first to buy expensive branded stuff.

    I would love a nice Patagonia jacket myself (not that I can afford one) - but what if it become fashionable with the wrong group... :)

    8 years wear from a jacket @ €16.25 per year........I'm amazed at how someone could call them overpriced when its costing them €1.35 a month (so far, I presume it's still going strong?)

    If you paid €280 for a new one and got another 8 years out of it it still works out at less than €35 quid (€3 per month!).

    I don't wear their stuff for the "brand". I wear it because it is usually top drawer in terms of quality and lasts forever. I have 3 jackets over 12 years old, still nothing worn with them. I even have a pair of gloves I got in NYC in 2010 that have very little signs of wear plus a schoolbag from that same trip which I've used everyday since and is brand new, bar a few cosmetic marks on the outside.

    I couldn't give a fiddlers who's wearing it or how others might judge me based on appearance. That's their own issue, and they can keep it AFAIC. I'd rather not lump everyone into the one category, judging them as one homogeneous grouping based on something arbitrary like their taste in jackets. I prefer to judge people independently, on their own merit, based on things like their propensity to wander into BA threads and tell everyone they'll look like a junkie if they buy something.

    But that's just me.

    Right, I'm not really bothered what some lad with a schoolbag in hand for the last 10 years thinks of my views tbh :pac:

    Especially if he's clad in NorthFace gear :p
