If North Face jackets are out, what's in?

Try Patagonia. But this is one of those things that you need something that fits your needs, not necessarily something that is "in". |

| I also don't really think North Face is in or out but I do think Patagonia is better quality for the same price point. However their sizing is huge in my opinion and NF fits me much better so its kind of a give and take on that standpoint. Once I buy a NF or Patagonia I absolutely wear it for about ten years so it won't be "on trend" anyway. |

| My father was a skier. He gave me an old North Face from the 80's. Still looks brand new. I don't care what's in or out. My North Face gear has lasted a long time and you get what you pay for. |

I have a Columbia jacket and like it very much, so does my DD. Didn't buy them for "style," however. |

| Everyone in my family has a Patagonia Down Sweater (its a jacket, they call it the sweater b/c it is lighter than a big puffy coat) and it is seriously the most comfortable everyday jacket. Perfect for cold days at the park and sporting events etc. |

Giving it a different name doesnt make it humane. You still have to pull the feathers of, I'm pretty sure thats painful. |

Down from the meat industry is taken from birds that are already dead. |
