Seriously, they're probably not even a company anymore in the traditional


sense. That is, they may not own any manufacturing plants, More of a legal firm that owns the trademarks for "North Face" and maybe some sort of design stuff, draw it up and send it to a contractor in China or India or Vietnam etc.

There are are even companies that are just legal firms, own trademarks to a bunch of different stuff you may have heard of, eg, Starter, or Mountain Khakis and every once in a while another company would like to use that logo and they work out an agreement. So yeah, NF is probably more of a marketing firm than someone who innovates anything other than artwork.

There are no hippie backpackers that test out their stuff anymore.
