Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

TNF Sedition II Stretch

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Was in the north face shop earlier,looking at the apex and freethinker range,and noticed the sedition jacket. Does anyone know anything about it, is it good etc.

Tried the freethinker and the sedition on, preferred the sedition,not sure why though. Think its the soft material snowHead

Mate the Sedition looks a great jacket. How much where they asking? I found one on ebay.com for something like $380.00 a couple of weaks ago. The posty wanted about $25.00 so it may be worth looking at that route if your confident in size.

$380 whats that in Uk. I seen it at chesire oaks for £228,the same price as the freethinker. My heads fried, i just know i want a softshell,not too bulky and great style. Been thinking what would be the best colour if i was to get the sedition. Red,yello,black. Although i seen a sedition in a green colour on an american site looked good

yeah it was the green one i saw. its $2.00 to the pound at the mo so 380 would be about 160Pounds plus postage so maybe its not worth it. Sounds a good price to me. Yello or red though just me 2 pence worth

so this one is not the stretch one? it's a bit cheaper, with shipping to me it's £183 roughly.

Anyone know what the taxes would be? Presumably VAT and an import duty, the HMRC website is not very user friendly. Looks a nice jacket.

found the info on importing jackets etc. 12% import duty then 17.5%. Presumably one applied first the VAT on the lot, thinking worst case scenario.

So the e bay one above will cost £213 plus about £21 shipping. So about £235 all taxes paid.

Anyone care to confirm my figures. Yes i have some time on my hands tonight.

In the Uk,they only seem to do them in red,golden yellow colour or black,but some american site i seen does them green, whys this. Could it be a different style,discontinued line maybe. Is the sedition stretch a new line or has there been others Confused

ian bloomfield, what a cream jacket and charcoal sally's not too extreme I dont think Smile
Considering I have been wearing my North Face mountain jacket for the past 13 years and my north face waterproof trousers for the past 8 held together with tape I thought I deserved it Quality not quantity Smile

Helen LS, wasn't being sarcy. that arcteryx stuff is lovely. Has that jacket got insulation, if not what do you wear underneath? (Not being saucy either!)

ian bloomfield, No worries it is lovely and not yet donned by the local scallies either unlike my tnf stuff !

Ok the stuff isnt insulated at all but neither was any of my tnf stuff depending on the weather conditions eg in Les arcs in March the other year I skied in a nike dri fit vest and the waterproof trousers and that was it !!! (for safety reasons obviously I had a backpack with my shell etc in )

But in normal cold conditions eg in canada this year I wore one or two thermal tops and then a rab powerstretch windproof fleece and the outershell and then long johns, mountain equipment ultrafleece trousers and then the outer shell it just depends on who I am skiing with as to the amount of standing around there is going to be.

BUT bear inmind I am very nesh I wear a thermal vest from october to June and in winter tights and knee length wool socks underneath my trousers Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed

I am trying to convince myself that I dont need a pair of Mantras to go with my new outfit at the mo
