Reply to comment by _SamuraiJack_ in I'm having a hard time sifting through all the brands and types of winter jackets to pick one that'll last. by kingofallnorway

I love my north face gear, and will keep buying their gear because it can withstand years of hiking, snowboarding, outside chores, etc, but I notice that after ~10 years the ‘dryvent’ starts breaking down and becomes less waterproof. Eventually making you retire a jacket.

I have NikWashed my goretex but it’s still going strong 23+ years later. Unfortunately the color is no longer my favorite though :)
