It isn't very good quality, the fit is for fat people, and the warranty isn't as good as Patagonia's.

Probably because it's some mall brand or they were at one point a legit brand that got scooped up into the department stores and skimped to sell to suburban mom's but kept the premium.

Patagonia isn't exactly cheap either.

I once bought a jacket at The North Face and I thought it was awesome...until I gained weight and it didn't fit anymore.
The funny thing is that I never saw myself in a North Face jacket. I hated the brand for years and loathed the people that wore it.
I just happened to wander into a store one day and tried on the thing. Dang man.

It became popular with black youth and the price skyrocketed. Like everything else.

They seem cheaper the more north you go (probably because there are more brands competing there). I bought mine in Canada before moving to the US because it was half the price as the same jacket south of the border. Probably because of the heavier competition from Canada Goose (that everyone there somehow MUST own)

It is just the general opinion of the backpacking community. I would say there is substance to that, too, as they have been bought out (maybe a few times.) Patagonia has remained with the same owner since inception, though.
