Cheap North Face Bargain Shopping In Vietnam

Рет қаралды 15,553

During our recent trip to Vietnam, my wife and I decided to do some bargain shopping in the markets in the Hanoi Old Quarter, which is flooded with shops selling discount athletic goods.
We ended up buying a lot of North Face goods, including some jackets, hiking shoes, socks, hats, waist pouch bags, and more. We're not sure if this is real north face or not, but the quality appears to be really good and we saved a lot of money by our calculations (included in the video).
Can't wait to use our new sports equipment and north face gear on our next adventure!

I’ve purchased products from TNF in the US and in Vietnam. Some items bought in Vietnam are 100% undistinguishable from the US counterpart while some are of a lower quality.

Hi again. I found it’s usually always fake in Vietnam. Even in the ‘good looking’ stores. We once asked a shop assistant to tell us honestly, while looking at a jacket, “is this real North Face?”. She was honest and shook her head no. We got the jacket though, it is water proof, but to the point of being totally unbreathable. Saves me from the rain, but I end up soaking in sweat instead! One way to tell fake North Face (not always though), is if the embroidered lettering has a single thread going from one letter to the next. Real NF doesn’t.

@TwoWheelCruise 6 жыл бұрын

I don't mind if it's real or not at this price if the quality is good enough. Really hard to find that right balance of waterproof and ventilated.. Thankfully these jackets have ventilation zippers under the arms in case we need them :) Interesting observation about the embroidering. That makes sense and I'm pretty sure I've seen that before..

Funny story for your viewers, at a Taiwanese night market, they were yelling out bra’s for $100 NT, wife thought it was a great deal and got some until checkout time, it was $100 per cup.

i bought a beats earphone in hong kong. i haggled hard, i thought i ended up up winning. but it started falling apart the next day, lol. but it's still interesting. if those stuff holds up, it's all good and it's a bargain. I've bought some north face hiking socks in kathmandu during my trek in the himalayas, and a northface waterproof pants, man they held up pretty well, was kinda wary if they were knockoffs. i still use that north face hiking socks to this day coz they provide so much support and cushion.

The armor shirts, I also bought 2 but for $3 each. Originally he wanted 3.50$/each. The jackets you got for $22/each... I made the rookie/amateur move by also buying it for $21.5. I wasn't prepared for the cold weather and the rain. I also know if there were shops around my hotel and wasn't sure how far it was from the first shop I went. I didn't want to risk it, but there were shops around my hotel and when I showed them the jacket I was wearing, they told me 300-350,000 which is like $15. If they offer you a price, chances are they'll still make a decent profit at half the price. I also bought a backpack and shoes for 400,000 (17$) each.

I used to play a lot of chess, go and shogi locally at clubs here and online. Not chinese chess though. But I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find a site you can play the game online. Every similar boardgame has multiple sites you can play on. Good luck with beating your inlaws!

Oh no, I saw the tags in your video, these are not original items, and they tend to be unreasonably cheap (got plenty of those in my country as well). I am personally against buying pirated goods :( but if they are at a decent quality, at least it is a good buy for you and Thuong!

It's just that Japan dumpling system makes things too expensive even without the tax. You guys should visit Gotemba sometimes, it has more reasonable price and brand like Nike, Adidas, and other sport shoe is made in Vietnam :)

We've been in that area for when we hiked fuji, but no shopping. We've actually got a big outlet retailer near us at nagashima. Haven't been yet though.
