North Face - Sports Basement

North Face Fashion Show

Lately, I have become intrigued with customer's fascination with the various North Face brand items scattered around Sports Basement. Therefore, I wanted to know: "what makes "North Face"
so special? So, I spoke with various Sport Basement employees. And, I
asked each employee to pick out their favorite North Face brand item
(within their department) as part of a fashion show. Here's "best of
show."

Q - Why did you choose to work at Sports Basement? Within your department, what is your favorite North Face item?

individuals that participate in healthy physical activities (like me).
Working on the 4th Floor in the Men's Fitness Department of Sports
Basement, my favorite item is the North Face - El Cap Shirt.

Q - What is your fascination with the North Face TNF Terra 60?

It's
a great bag for the price. Comfortable and adjustable. For a week, I
traveled with the North Face TNF to Panama. And I backpacked with it in
Yosemite for a weekend. In both occasions, it worked great!

Q - And what's up with the North Face Cat's Meow sleeping bag?

A
- This is one of our top sellers. For a synthetic bag, It is light

for backpacking or car camping (compared to down sleeping bags). And 20
degrees is a good versatile temperature for California camping.

you won't get lonely.
