    Any used this Online Shop?

    http://www.northfaceoutletuk.net/

    Prices seem faily cheap, but the RRPs seem ridiculous. Looks a bit fishy to me.

    They do seem to have 30 Enduro 13 backpacks in at just over £50 though.

    Re: Any used this Online Shop?

    The following details relate to the website. Bearing in mind most kit is made in the Far East, could be genuine. BUT I would expect such a site to be registered to North Face itself in the US. At the very least it looks like an attempt to 'pass off'. Probably would find a whole list of such brand name websites registered with the same details. I suggest giving it a wide berth.

    As you point out the RRPs look wrong

    Shipping in 7-10 days say 'Chinese copies' to me at best.

    Avoid would be my advice

    Here's a link to the bona fide TNF website:
    http://uk.thenorthface.com/

    Other online retailers often have TNF items heavily discounted, eg.

    Definately dodgy but I have a friend who is a director so I'll drop him a line for an official comment..
