[pct-l] Nuplse North Face Jacket

[tahoe.cat at verizon.net (Cathy)]

Hi Jeff   So far I've had good luck with TNF and the things that I've bought
recently through Campmor have been half price. I don't think I could afford
the full thing. Started buying TNF in the early 70s and hadn't bought
anything until last year. If I need something I still look for quality and
price.   Happy hiking.
