I won a North Face jacket of my choice last weekend. Just picked up the Flat Spin Jacket. Size Large. I'm 6'2", never had a jacket fit so tall, I kinda like it.

If you're looking into the Gonzo jacket (my first choice), good luck. They're sold right out in Canada in all colours, sizes large and xl.
Might be different if you are in the States though.

xxl doesn't cut it?? Holy shit.
You kids and your style.
This will be my first winter in an urban environment, so I guess I should get used to it.

I was pretty close to getting a medium, it fits like my large Orage Baldwin.

Lies... Before Tom Wallisch signed with them, you probably thought that North Face was for gapers and that their quality was way below that of hyphy outerwear companies like First Drop and Saga...

North face needs to embrace cotton as the king of tech fabrics before I give them a second look. Though up until now they have only had lame big mountain guys like Sage wearing their lame gear. Now that T.Wall is wearing their stuff. I might have to take a second look. I'm holding out for cotton though.

Anyone know the zipper length on the XL Gonzo?

I've had north face gear for a few years now, it's the tits. Don't bad mouth it coz they mainly aim at a different crowd. Try it and you will love it.

Damnit, if someone wants to buy North Face it doesn't mean they want it because of him. I mean, it isn't like they have been making quality stuff for ages or anything. To OP, fuck everyone saying not to get it. If you want it, get it.

Yes they've been making quality stuff forever. And if you've supported North Face for years, then yeah that's cool. But if JUST this year, you magically decided North Face was ill, I doubt Tom Wallisch didn't have anything to do with it.

Well, if that is the case, whats the problem? Why not support someone who is putting money into our sport? Sometimes I really hate the immature little pricks here on NS. I've had some down jackets from North Face, hands down the warmest piece of clothing I've owned.

It seems like they are refurbishing themselves right now, or atleast branching out, I support that with all of my heart. Not only do they produce high quality clothing, from what I've seen on Wallisch, Martini and some guys in Teton it looks damn good aswell.

you mean taking money from the sport. they sponsored tom wallisch because they saw how big the market was getting. they want stupid kids to buy their shit so they can make money and put it back into improving their line of granola gear.

Oh nothing's wrong with it. It's just when kids blatantly lie about liking North Face not because of Wallisch... And I hope you're not calling me the little prick. And I do agree, that it's great that they're at least acknowledging our part of the sport...

I'm not calling you the little prick, those people I call pricks is people who claim to not like North Face now, because Tom rides for them.

Haha alright just making sure... But yeah I'm glad we're on the same page - kids claiming they don't care that Tom Wallisch rides for them and just like them cause they "make quality shit" are just lying to themselves....

Wait a minute, so just because TNF is a big company that supports athletes in all sorts of different sports, not just skiing, its a bad thing that they have gotten themselves into the freestyle game?
