Even today, North Face ski coats remain very waterproof and abrasion resistant. Plenty of pockets and adjustable hood/sleeves. Highly recommend.

My north face that I bought 6 years ago has held up with close to 100 ski days

Not to mention the vents for when I get too hot! Love these coats

I love my north face gear, and will keep buying their gear because it can withstand years of hiking, snowboarding, outside chores, etc, but I notice that after ~10 years the ‘dryvent’ starts breaking down and becomes less waterproof. Eventually making you retire a jacket.

I have NikWashed my goretex but it’s still going strong 23+ years later. Unfortunately the color is no longer my favorite though :)
