Staying Warm this Winter Season

              Winter is nearly upon us and if it’s anything like last year’s, we are in for a chilly one. For those of us who live in the North, we have many different types of coats for all different types of weather. There is the fleece, windbreaker, every day winter jacket, and a heavy coat for when you are in a snowstorm. The most popular brand that offers all these different types of jacket is known as The North Face, and with my own experiences, I’ve found them to be reliant, long-lasting, and fashionable jackets.
               The first thing you are going to notice when you look at a North Face coat as a buyer is the price. They are considered to be a more expensive brand, but I think that the cost is reflective upon the fact that these coats last a long time, so you don’t have to replace them year after year, and they are great at doing their job of keeping you warm. So yes, the first year you go to buy your North Face you are going to have to spend a little more than you would like, but remember you won’t have to spend that cash repeatedly each year, so it’s a smart buy.
                 Another great aspect of North Face jackets is that they are very light. Now, you’re probably wondering why in the world is that a good thing; I want a jacket that keeps me warm hence the name “heavy coat”, not some lightweight pullover to keep me warm on a 50⁰ day. Yes, that is exactly what my dad thought when I got him a North Face coat for Christmas, but then later that day he wore it out in the below zero temperatures and said it kept him a lot warmer that he had expected. This is what I think puts North Face ahead of competing companies because it already sucks having to be outside in freezing temperatures, but to then be weighed down with a 5 pound coat isn’t fun either, so by keeping it lightweight and warm, North Face has created a win-win.

North Face Women's Osito Jacket

                 Walk in to your local sporting goods store like Scheels or Dicks and you can find a plethora of different North Face winter coats in numerous different colors. The most popular style amongst my friends as teenagers is their Women’s Osito jacket which has a furry textured outside. North Face is the most contemporary winter coat brand out there with their sleek and simple design. I would highly suggest checking it out when you are looking for a winter coat this upcoming season.
