I agree 100% that North Face is now super trendy. At my school, during the winter at least 70% of the people are wearing it. However, it is still really good gear. I have 3 jackets (the Apex, Condor TriClimate, and one of the cheaper rain jackets, don't remember the name) along with various fleece pullovers, pants and t shirts. All of the stuff has been bulletproof and has been used in harsher conditions than simply walking to class. Between my friend's and I we have MountainHardware, Marmot, Sypder, and Patagonia pretty well covered. I won't necessarily say that NF is superior to any of those other brands. However, whenever it has come down to me actually going out and purchasing a new jacket or fleece or whatever, I always end up buying North Face after a combination of style, fit, performance, and price. I can usually find pretty good deals on the North Face stuff.
