The North Face Quantum Nuptse Jacket

I actually own a TNF Quantum Nuptse with 900 fill down. This jacket is worth every penny. I have worked with vintage '80s TNF equipment before as well as their newer styles. I personally am tired of hearing that TNF is using cheaper materials than they did before. What does that mean? It is a crock if you ask me. The equipment that I own made post 2000 has been excellent. This particular jacket kept me overly warm during the winter of 2004 in NY with a wind chill of -12 F. With 20-30 MPH winds and only a T-shirt underneath, I was very warm with this jacket. Highly recommended.
