north face nuptse jacket

i am a 41 year old mom who has tried every coat and jacket sold. i wanted to try the north face nuptse jacket for a while but wondered if the $199.00 price was worth it.i now realize i wasted countless hours and money searching for the right jacket.this jacket is unbelivable!! it has kept me warm in the artic cold and is very stylish to boot. everyone recognizes the north face sign and symbol on my black jacket and are easily impressed with it.they always want to know what i paid for itand first think that it is too expensive for them until you ask how many jackets they have bought in the past that they no longer like that is hanging in their closet. 5 of my friends have bought the jacket not only for warmth but as a fashion statement.
