who cares. the professional mountain guides i've met wear a lot of patagonia, not so much TNF. their new Trailhead line of tents is for family car camping. mountain hardwear has largely displaced their gear in expeditions, patagonia for apparel. their duffels though are iconic.

North Face is just as much a fashion brand now as an outdoor gear brand. Maybe more so. Have you been to an American college campus? North Face jackets and backpacks everywhere, especially on rich white girls that haven't done more than a two hour hike in their life.

I got a heavy-duty North Face weather jacket during my year of college up in North Dakota.

Let me tell you, that shit saved my ass during the snow season there. ND snow manages to be wet as fuck and chilly as fuck at the same time, and it sticks to you like frozen napalm.

North Face Summit series is fucking based. I gather there's some weird sub culture for people to wear North Face stuff around town or whatever judging from all the shit posting but I can't say I've seen this trend around here.

Really if you're willing to discount entire clothing options that could work well for you just because you saw some faggot wear the same thing once you need to reconsider your priorities.

I prefer patagonia. I think it's better and it's less targeted at college kids more at people who actually want to go /out/.

North face is good but yeah, it's all the trend and they are starting to produce more for that trendy group than for actual outdoorsmen.

I have some TNF pants and a rain jacket, they work great. I love the pants, I love my shell jacket too. But I use alot of patagonia stuff, the capilene series is amazing,

I do see alot of no outdoorsy people walkin around with TNF it irks me a little, but its whatever. I wouldnt call them posers, probably just people who want some solid clothing even if it is for the city.

They are not just for walking him on the base. If that Blackhawk has to ditch in hostile territory with a 4 star general then they have the very best as security while a rescue is mounted. They are specifically trained for security escort and rescue - something standard army and marines aren't specifically trained for.

I think Secret Service are specifically presidential protection and are associated with Homeland Security. My guess being it's a bureaucracy thing.

They'll probably have similar skill sets.

I'm pretty sure the SS (heh) is DOJ and not DHS, before they protected the president their primary function was anti-counterfeiting, and counterfeiting still falls under their jurisdiction. There were raids in Colombia where drug lords were printing fake cash, the SS was there with the Military, ATF, and the FBI.

Quoted By:

The North Face is not a bad brand.
There is a subculture (aging businessmen) who like it as a function+fashion brand (have money, buy stuff thats supposed to be good).
That subculture causes more diversification of the TNF brand towards fashion items besides functional items.
Functional TNF items are still bretty good and if you are buying a vaporwick shirt for instance you really can't go wrong with TNF. They know their shit and are still one of the best in the game for clothing.
