Yes, white ghetto. Helly Hansen is in, NF is out.

NF is for suburban poseurs whose most grueling expedition is going to be from the spot where their Suburban is parked to the entrance of the Whole Foods.

+1 i have a 10 year old NF that I keep telling myself to retire, but every winter it comes back out and looks just as good as it did when we bought it. I also had a zipper repaired when the coat was already ~5 years old.

Don't be so cheap, buy a Moncler

I feel like this always comes up on this board! A mid-length down coat is worth it if you are always cold, in my opinion, but it doesn't have to be North Face.
