The North Face boots: comparing prices in the USA and Russia
In 1966, two amateur climbers, Dick Klopp and Douglas Tompkins, opened their equipment store not far from a beach in San Francisco. They chose the name The North Face (“the northern slope”) because, as is well known, the north side of a mountain is the more difficult one to climb. In 1968, they began producing their own clothing and gear for mountain enthusiasts. The North Face boots became especially famous, allowing wearers to get a firm grip on any surface. Walking on snow and ice became much easier with them.
By the end of the 70s, the TNF store was the only one in the USA offering a complete range of items for skiers, climbers, and hikers. From tents and sleeping bags all the way to professional poles, goggles, snowshoes, harnesses, and various mountaineering equipment.

Jackets and down jackets from the USA: which are the best?
Quality clothing in America is very inexpensive (especially compared to Russia). Even Nike and Adidas products, if you simply visit their American website, will be sold 30-50% cheaper. And for some brands, like DKNY, the difference reaches 200%. The same goes for outerwear. If in Russia an excellent down jacket sells for 50 thousand rubles, then you can buy such a jacket in the USA for $250-$300. The savings are very substantial.
It is better to buy new collections before winter, but the biggest savings come in spring and summer. Almost every store here offers very substantial discounts. Sometimes they reach 90%. For the price of one warm jacket, you can get ten!
There are many top brands operating in the country that do not ship their products to Russia at all (so they are sold only by resellers). We have selected several of the most famous ones for you, whose products you definitely can't go wrong with.
