Im a bit of an gear freak when it comes to the outdoors and i would'nt pick north face ot berhaus tbh, Infact the only north face stuff i have is there terra 60 rucksack and there Venture waterproof trousers

These are so many better options then those two, mountain equipment are good but they charge a fucking fortune

Most of my gear is made by a company called "Rab", i use there latok alpine jacket and its the best iv used so far, i also use there photon hoddie witch it think is the best jacket iv used to date for insulation, and also if u use it in your sleeping bag it brings the rating down another 6 degrees

Dont get a down jacket unless its waterproof as well

This is well thought as being one of the best jackets for cold conditions in the world (within reason) and is used on everest ect ect
