  • Bio:

    Hi, Im an active college student. I enjoy riding and hiking trails or what could be considered trails.... I also enjoy the overall outdoors and fishing.

    I recently returned from Ecuador where I mainly packed TNF.

    When it comes to my gear I focus on functionality and durability.

    My major brands are TNF, Cannondale, LOOK, Diadora,SRAM, and Nike...although some new TNF running shoes are calling my name...

The North Face Heckler Backpack - 2080cu in

February 7, 2011

Hi Christa, No TNF packs are not technically claimed as waterproof packs... however I have one and I used a waterproof spray sold on backcountry(http://www.backcountry.com/nikwax-tx-direct-spray-on). I fully trust my pack to now keep my laptop dry in most conditions... now I have not tested it in a downpour more than a 5-10min span... but This combo is a very good one, plus the bonus is that you can reapply the spray as often as needed

Your best bet is to go to TNF online and search zip in... however if you see a fleece you like bc is really good about meantioning whether or not it is compatible... but I do know that the denali full zip is a zip in compatible fleece... as is the redpoint?

The North Face Apex Glove - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 5, 2011

These gloves are awesome. If you need a glove to keep warm in between house and car, or even light outdoor use, then these gloves are it. However if you need heavy warmth snow gloves then dish out the extra cash and move up to the montana's or a heavier glove. But if you just want an efficent light weight glove then the apex is for you.

Great glasses and durable

Oakley Half Wire 2.0 Sunglasses - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 5, 2011

I got these glasses two years ago with my tax check. It was the best tax check I've ever spent. They are extremely durable and comfortable at the same time. I finally recieved my first scratch on the corner of my lens.( after two years of sustained use) I wear them riding, running, and casual. And to be honest I have lost count of how many times I've forgotten they were on my head until they hit the floor behind me.

well worth the change

The North Face Flux Power Stretch 1/4-Zip Fleece Pullover - Men's

The North Face Flux Power Stretch 1/4-Zip Fleece Pullover - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 5, 2011

To start with I have three TNF pullovers, they are absolutely solid. I live in central Indiana and to be honest I wear this almost more by itself than I do my tri-climate coat. This pullover is extremely top of the line in the internal temp control area. If you get warm just unzip the 1/4 zip a bit to notice the right amount of temp change. Another good quality about this is the fabric. The first time I wore it I pulled up the sleeves. I was worried that I had stretched the cuff later on. However about an hour after pulling down sleeves the cuffs were as good as new. Once again TNF has out done themselves with another great product.

I bought this jacket as a freshman in college 4 years ago. I still wear it to this day, and I still trust in it to do its job. The % of wind that is broken down is amazing and when paired with one of my TNF pull overs this is a deadly combination in the fall, spring, and mild winter seasons
