Kind of what the north face used to be, then they hoped on that fast fashion / mass selling horse and their quality went down the drain.

My oldest North Face fleece/hoodie just will not give up. Every one since has fallen apart - pockets on the front seem a weak spot, they'll get holes at the stress points.

That first one though probably has decades left!

I think the north face summit series is still legit compared to the other mass marketed stuff.

I loved North Face trail running shoes in the early 2000s. The worked really well for running and I’d continue using them as work shoes when I replaced them every few years.

Now all my running shoes fall apart at the toes.

Their repair services are pretty solid. I had a 3/4 length puffer coat and the zipper failed after 10 years and they replace the zipper. I paid for the shipping to them but otherwise no additional costs.
