There's actually a knock off N Face shop here in SV and the sign says NF Outlet or something. Their shit ain't cheap either. The authentic NF can be found for less in the States if you look around.

I always wondered if they are real The North Face products. Any idea for how much would it cost for The North Face authentic backpack and can i find it in Phnom Penh or somewhere else in the kingdom?

There isn't a real NF backpack in the Kingdom, unless it's still on somebody's back.

I'm not sure about that Wacky. They advertise as 100% authentic http://www.sihanoukville-cambodia.com/s ... -face.html

I really don't know however and couldn't give a rats tbh. I sort of got over designer name gear when I turned about 20. Still, I'm sure the $8 Ripcurl boardies I'm wearing right now are 100% authentic :plus1:

The problem with knock offs is always the zipper. They usually shit the bed on you quickly. The Cordura shell is the same. Maybe the stitching isn't as rugged. I'd be dumb struck if their shit is real. I checked it out and I thought it was fugazi. The zippers were not up to snuff. It all looked exactly like the NF stuff in Psar Leu.

I have a TTP market knock off north face day bag.

I think it might actually be a factory second rather than a fake, it's held up very well to a lot of outdoor use and rain, sun and dirt exposure.

It was $11 eighteen months ago.

From the OP spoiler "HBS lawyer from Phnom Penh, representing the owner of the company".


Unrelated - [you might want to put that zodiac dude on your list of persons of interest. Is he saying 'I want to help you, but, well, you know, it's difficult?]
