I can’t find much. But it seems to be a Japan exclusive from 2006. Anyone know anything about this?

I would buy it second hand but I am not that deep into vintage TNF pieces.

I’ve had this jacket of a friend and want help identifying it.

The tag says :
RN#61661 SEASON#F06 CA#30516 STYLE#AA3WF LW6 TNFPO#4500465379

It says GORE-TEX XCR on the sleeve.

What I’ve got from ChatGPT is that it is a Fall 2006 model and possibly part of the Summit series.

I want to also try buy a hood for it as it has the zip for attachable hood so any help is greatly appreciated.

This was issued to me while I was at the Naval Academy but I unfortunately can’t seem to find it anywhere and want to get a replacement. Please let me know if anyone can ID it!

A little rant here from me.

Beginning of June, I bought some sliders due to borrowing a pair and finding them comfortable, they arrived a week later.

No issues at all, so comfortable and would wear them instead of slippers or after I’ve been on a run.

The sliders have only ever been worn inside my home, or to and from the swimming pool I frequent.

Last week I noticed some material hanging off the bottom of the sliders and found the sliders in this condition (please see pics)

I logged a claim into NorthFace customer care last week and had no response for days until I chased it up on live chat.

This morning NorthFace have come back to me and told me the product is not covered under the terms of their Warranty Policy.

Their reason for this is Mechanical damage, which isn't in line with a manufacturing defect and is deemed wear and tear.

I find this completely unreasonable, how the sliders can be like this less than 2 months since I received them and they don’t want to help.

Can anyone advise what I’m best doing here? I’ve been a TNF customer for over 20 years and feel let down by the company.

I currently have a Base Camp XS + two S, with the XS and one S in Golden Tan / Cedar / Honeyed Sand. I loved the color so much that I bought the matching pair.

I’m now tempted to get the M in the same color for €95 (normally €155), but I’m unsure how versatile the M is.

XS: gym + personal item for flights

S: short trips (up to ~5 days by bus/train)

M: potentially longer trips

I’m 165 cm (5' 6)/ 65 kg, and my main concern is whether a fully loaded M becomes too bulky/heavy to comfortably carry as a backpack.

Would you:

1. Keep XS + 2×S, or

2. Take the €95 deal and complete the XS + S + M matching set, especially since this color may disappear after the season?

For those who own both: how useful is the M compared with the S in real life?

Thank you very much in advance!

Any thoughts on The North Face Hot Shot Backpack, specifically in the Endless Dusk colorway? I need a new backpack and I saw this on sale online. From €115 original price to €70 discounted price, which is great! The discounted price is only for this color though. I thought it was a cool dark blue at first, but it looks more like purple. I’d buy it, though I wish it was like a navy blue or smoky blue instead of purple. How does it look like in person? And is the Hot Shot backpack in general good overall? I’ll mainly use it for university and light travels.

Made the mistake of giving my email at the register. Got spammed immediately. Can you unsubcribe? NO. They turn your opt-in into a club "membership" which require you to read the "club" T&C's... which lead to a phone number you need to call... which is a chat bot... which tells you you can only unsubscribe via logging into your club dashboard... which in turn obligates you to signing up for the club's website.

F*CK YOU, TNF.

EDIT: NO there was no “opt in” or anything at the register/point of purchase. It was just a blank customer facing iPad that made you enter your email address with nothing else on the screen except a blank and a keyboard. So I’m giving them too much credit by saying that there was potentially an “opt in“ to begin with. Cashier made me enter the email before paying

Has anyone bought the North Face Seasonal Mountain Jacket ? I put the UK link below. I want to know if it actually offers rain protection. It seems to be ultralight and fold very small. So if it works against rain I could use it as a layer for hiking.

Men's Altire Down TriClimate Jacket I got back in 2018. I've definitely gotten my use out of it. I'm wondering if it can be repaired? Seems at the cuffs have come apart and now the inner lining is shedding everywhere. I really really wanna keep this one because just last year I went though the trouble of mailing it back to factory to get the zipper repaired under the lifetime warranty. This specific model is no longer made and I really like the fit. Can a seamstress sew this back up? If it’s not worth repair, any TNF heads out there that can recommend a similar new model?

I’m thinking about getting one and would love to hear from people who actually use it.

- What do you like/dislike about it?
- Any unexpected pros or cons?
- Does a standard 32oz Nalgene bottle fit securely?
- Would you buy it again?

Even a quick comment about your experience would be really helpful!

Thanks in advance:)

I recently got this new sunriser hoodie. I went to take the tags off and noticed that the care tag, which was normally sewn into the seam, is only connected with two strands. I take it this has something to do with the circular design route North Face is going. But am I supposed to cut it out and keep it? It feels like this is just going to get caught on stuff if I leave it attached so loosely.
