The North Face Unity Suit - Men's
Bring back steep tech

I'm spoiled rotten by the steep tech snow suit I got back in 1994. This suit is no steep tech. The large totally bagged out on me. There was no way to cinch the suit on my body. The crotch was practically down to the knees. The medium kinda sorta fit my torso, but the pants were still way to big. The crotch was now only half way to the knees. Lack of zippers to ventilate. No cinching about the waist or torso. Basically a major devolution from the steep tech of 1994. North Face doesn't need to go back the drawing board. Just junk this design and bring back 1994--it still looks pretty cool.
