As a former ski shop employee whilst in California I can safely say that North Face gear is well worth the expense. The windstoppers do just that, the gore tex xcr jackets keep you very very dry and their fleece jackets are extremely warm. The idea of buying fake versions of the above is crazy. North Face is far more than just a label it's technical gear that will help keep you happy on the hill. Whilst in BG be very careful as so much North Face gear is fake. Rant over!re: North Face
i have to say there would be no way i would wear fake stuff 1 , it looks a load of crap 2, its not going to be the same quality 3, will it do its job. so if you dont want to spend to much money buy a cheaper brand but not fake

Sorry, I have both real North Face and fake stuff bought in Bulgaria, and the fake stuff is every bit as good as the real stuff. If you look at all your designer label clothes look at where they are actually made -- usually Turkey or Bulgaria!!!!!!!!!!! I am still wearing a North Face Jacket bought in Bulgaria 3 years ago. It's kept me well and warm & dry.

Jo, don't be sorry for a very valid point, as my mate says his £15 fake NF trousers are great at keeping him warm and dry at the snowdome, a punishing environment for gear..re: North Face
My son bought a North Face jacket in Borovets in January. We knew it was a fake, but it is actually quite a good one. The fleece lining zips out, there are no loose threads, the stitching is good, and it is pretty waterproof - he has been wearing it in the Brecon Beacons and on Dartmoor doing Ten Tors training. We will spray it well with waterproof spray before the real thing though, just to be sure! It cost him about 80 lev in a smartish shop under the Royal Plaza apartments, going ...
