North Face

As I walk around the Ohio State University all I see are people with north face jackets and sweaters on. North Face is a brand of clothing that came about in 1966 by two hiking enthusiasts who wanted to sell things such as outerwear and skiwear, with the addition of tents, sleeping bags, etc. The brand has now expanded and sells items such as sporting clothes. I first heard of the product my junior year of high school when a friend purchased their jacket. I asked him what was so great about it, seeing as the price was so expensive, and he said it was very warm. Now two years later everyone I talk to either has a North Face Jacket or some sort of product by them, especially since it is winter. All my friends asked for them over Christmas and they are all I see as I walk through the oval. It caught my attention over the fall because I saw about 80% of females walking to class with them on and thought "Why does everyone have a North Face coat, etc." I tried my room mates jacket on recently just to see how warm they actually were and now I can see what the craze is about. I do not want to pay excessive amounts of money for one, but I can now see why they are so popular.
