I personally do not own a Northface coat, but it's a very popular brand. The numer of Northface coats I see on the streets of Chicago on women, men, and children can't be totally based on status and wearing a trendy label. Another popular brand seems to be Columbia.

That's what I wear most of the year, unless it is frigid and I need a coat. I love my Columbia fleece. My kids wear North Face.

Thanks for the input. Looks like I'm going to be checking out North Face at Nordies sale. Any particular things I should look for?

Columbia is not as expensive as North Face. What happened to Lands End? That has been my favorite....boohoo

I like North Face, and have some Columbia jackets that I love for cold but not freezing weather. I prefer Patagonia for real performance. Usually more $$$ (but with NF, you are often paying more for the name), but totally worth it, IMO.

I prefer Marmot for a very warm jacket but don't have a long coat; that's on my list...check out backcountry.com; they carry all the big brands and are having a sale now.

I had a NF jacket that kept me warm and dry (waterproof) for many years. I replaced it with a LLBean jacket. I thought it was waterproof, not really. NF more expensive - worth it IMO. If there is an NF outlet store, check it out. I don't think major dept stores carry a full line of NF. Your better sporting good stores might be a good choice to see NF and other high end performance outter wear.

I have a full length down coat by North Face- Love it!

I have a NF heavy down jacket, that is very warm. As a matter of fact I bought it at REI at one of their "garage sales", because it was a return. They list the return reason on the tag, the complaint was, that the jacket is too warm. I knew that was the jacket for me.

My girlfriend has a thinner mid-length Patagonia down coat, that has been great for most cold weather. When it gets brutal in NYC, she wears a bulkier coat.
