mate there isnt enough of a buzz surrounding North Face to warrant people to produce fakes and in particular the jacket in question isnt exactly top trendy stuff so the chances are even less so.
not putting it down though son. i fucking love NF kit. if the company made more of their branding/marketing etc and hooked up a couple of endorsments (pharrell type shit) then they could go far.
There is a buzz about it in China. Enough of a buzz that when I was in Shenzen last week, the infamous 'fakes mall' at the bus station was stuffed to the rafers with counterfeit North Face. Bizarrely it is as knocked off as LV out here, so there you go.
I'd be careful. The copyists usually copy very few styles, so if you seent eh same style, or colourway cropping up on eBay, beware.

There is loads of fake North Face on the bay.
I don't know well enough to say for certain but going by seller feedback and photos that one looks OK.
Thats what i went on and also I have a friend from my last ski season that has that jacket. Its real IMO.

Its called "Surveillance jacket" but I think they are at least a year old now as I got my 'nightscape' one in the sale at Ellis-Brigham.com in may thanks to a helpfull Fuker tipping me off 
They where just sold at Ellis Brigham in the UK but lots of outdoors type shops in US and Japan had them judging by google!

North Face have done plenty of collab work. Futura and Junya Watanabe for starters.

Yeah course its worth tossers faking these jackets when they are selling for £145+! Just because there not the hieght of fashion.. But that one looks genuine in the photo and the seller has spot on feedback so should be ok..

I don't do in the flesh photos of myself anymore. Got my fingers burnt. Something about the Run DMC dolls in the background being better dressed than me...
Check your IMs.
