The North Face is one of my favorites for jackets, packs, trail shoes, snow clogs, etc. You may pay a little more, but the stuff lasts. Their fleece does not pill like other brands.

Another brand I like is the non U.S. sold Bogner ski parkas. These are the "sleeper" models, in other words they do not have all of the Bogner graphics & shiny "B" zipper pulls. Well built , good fabrics and different.

Have you ever noticed that most of the ski attire is made in Hong Kong or China? Even some Bogner products are made in China. Can we still find a Made in USA label on a jacket?

edit: I voted for TNF.
