Northface's styles, colors, and designs have been pretty sick in the last 3 years- this comes as no surprise to me.

i think it's good for the sport. it gives us one more brand putting out sweet outerwear that free skiers are actually interested in

agreed.  I was eyeing this purple pinstripe jacket they had this last year.  It was sickies.  Just wait, another year from now and North Face will be like Sweet Outerwear except readily available and have cheaper-end lines.

TNF, All I can do is laugh. If they think Wallisch will make up for their shitty design team, they are so wrong.

Hate away. North Face has an outrageous amount of money and makes some great stuff. Your loss.

Mr. Wallisch says ” It’s very exciting to be working with such a cool company”

hahaha

All the kids who have no concept about money...

Oh NS, how I love thee.

You think their designs will always suck?  Clearly obtaining some big names means they want to put a lot of money into it and realize they need to cater to the next generation of people wearing their gear.  I guarantee in a couple of years everyone will want their stuff.  shoot, that black/yellow one tom has isn't so bad. :)

sorry they don't make 10xl dresses or have jackets that make you look "thug" when you're wearing it. They put a lot into their outerwear and they've been making damn good outerwear before any of us were born. hate all you want, wallisch is getting paid to do what he loves, and don't we all want to?
