User Review: The North Face McMurdo Parka

The North Face McMurdo Parka
Above: The current McMurdo Parka, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

The North Face products are an absolute bargain if you live in the U.S. but an absolute scam if you happen to be situated north of the border in Canada. The price of this jacket in the U.S. is around $300. In Canada, get this, it is $450 (keep in mind the Canadian Dollar is worth a few cents more than the U.S. Dollar). North Face block companies from shipping to customers in Canada, leaving us 'Canuckleheads' to have to pay an unacceptable premium. It sounds like 'price fixing' to me...shame on you, North Face...gouging customers and intimidating your U.S. retailers into losing their contracts if they ship to Canada.
