my northface badlander 75 cost me >S$500. That's an old
model. But there are northface boutiques in singapore now, it
should be cheaper.Check out the catalyst, the suspension is very
space age looking.
Northface's lifetime warranty is very very good. If you need any
gear repaired, just take your stuff to the nearest place that
carries northface product and they'll repair it for you, sans
warranty cards.
wait,, they repair for free?? 
then can consider..
