I am so into hiking clothes. Wearing them feels comfortable and light. Hawaii island don't have that luxury of hiking stores but it's a blessing already that at least The North Face was here in the island. What's good is that its just a few minute walk from where we stayed. Sweet.... Every time we walked-in there were always somebody who are cheerfully and friendly people that will greet us. Staffs are helpful and make sure that you are taking care of. I am so grateful and satisfied on their service. Hawaii is a tropical country and how I wished that even though it's winter time they won't get rid of the summer stuffs as the winter clothes they displayed doesn't really fully apply on the weather situation in Hawaii. Whatever it is, grateful and hopeful as always with this store. The North Face will always be a great part in Ala Moana Center family. Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow yeeps. read more

We visited the store in search of a men's jacket for our trip to Japan. Russell helped us in finding a jacket. He was very friendly and courteous. Excellent customer service from Russell. read more

I received amazing customer service here! I first visited this store a couple weeks back to mail in my damaged north face backpack. The store clerk helped me figure out what to put on the paperwork, and was really helpful. I received an e-gift card from the north face because they were unable to repair my backpack. I went into the store today, and again, the store clerks were amazing at providing input on the different backpacks that they have. They let me take as much time as I needed to figure out which one I was going to get. They even went into the back and pulled out a brand new backpack after I decided on one! I would definitely recommend this store to anyone needing to get new outdoor gear. The customer service is amazing, and they have a lifetime warranty all their items! read more

Fantastic customer service! On 12/08/22, I tried to exchanged an item I purchased on the Mainland but the Ala Moana store did not carry the same item. In came Sonia, all bubbly, full of enthusiasm. She was very engaging, gave me my options and proceeded to show me comparable items. I found what I wanted and walked out of the store quite happy. In a time where customer service makes a difference between the competition, Sonia is a rock-star! read more

Staff at the store always friendly . Store always organized and clean . Always been greeted walking in . Bought the larger all black roller luggage . I travel 60+ flights a year and was going through cheaper roller from a store called R-ss ' $50 -$70 a pop . The NF roller has broken twice in 6 years and I had no problem returning it . NF replaced it both times . Handle wasn't working right , once and tread on the wheel fell off , once . I was told there might be a minimal charge if not covered by the lifetime warranty but both times I paid nothing and got a brand new one a few weeks later . 4 stars cause NF no more one outlet here YET ! Love the clothes but damn I fly to other states to get um cause Paradise is so damn expensive .. read more

If you need a rain jacket, this is the place to go! A little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for! Ended up getting a great one here that lasted about 5 years (my son outgrew it). Great quality and long lasting for sure!!! read more

The service was fantastic and my girlfriend and I are both students looking to buy a backpack, luckily Sonia told us there was a student discount and she was extremely helpful. Also when we went to the register they brought out a new backpack still in the plastic packaging which was super nice. We live in CA but wish we lived here just for her! read more

Wonderful shopping experience her! Thank you for helping me find my winter gloves for my upcoming trip. I love the knowledgeable staff and the great merchandise. I say shop NOW for winter travel before it's all gone! read more

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the sign for The North Face at Ala Moana's new Ewa Wing. The North Face brand provides apparel and equipment for seasonal outdoor and indoor activities. My immediate reaction was excitement for an actual store in Hawaii as I've ordered skiing, hiking and even training apparel online from this company. Luckily, I've not ever had to return any online purchases but, they do have an excellent return policy. Living in Hawaii when it's normally 82 - 85 degrees Fahrenheit, the thought of trying on down-filled or fleece thermal wear isn't high on my priority list unless I'm planning to travel into cold climate. But, at least having a store like The North Face, I can confidently try on and purchase immediately without having to anxiously wait for delivery. I'd rather get my cold weather essentials PRIOR to travel. You know, it's a good idea to be prepared! I remember traveling to Boston, MA during the dead of Winter and was sure glad that I was prepared...my thin Hawaiian blood couldn't have taken on the cold blustery wind and snow otherwise. However, my business traveling companion didn't even attempt to get anything online. She even made fun of me as I was bundled up in North Face apparel saying that I looked like I was a walking ad for the company. I guess that she figured she'd get her Winter outerwear and accessories once we landed. Long story short, once we landed, we directed our driver to take us to the closest department store so she could get herself a coat, thermal underwear and accessories. Unfortunately, she had to take what was available in price, size, style and color. It turned out to be a more expensive lesson for her. So, if you're looking for clothing weather essentials, active apparel to wear through your workouts or stylish outerwear to protect you from the weather elements, you might consider checking out The North Face. The sales associates are friendly and knowledgeable about the products that they offer. #481 read more

Had to return and exchange a really confusing order. Jake was able to help me get squared away. 10/10.

Excellent customer service when I needed my boots exchanged and resent to my home. Awesome team.

In need of some warm, winter clothes? Look no further, Hawaii has the North Face. They are located near Bloomingdales and Nordstrom on the 3rd floor. They have a large corner store, which means it is pretty large. They have apparel and gear for men and women. I would say that their selection is very big and you can find anything from hiking apparel to snow apparel. They also have boots or shoes and even luggage/bags. They have a very tiny children's section that has little selection. I think that they may have only one of each size of each item. They have more older children items and not too many toddler items. When we went there my husband purchases of few base layers to wear under snow gear. He also purchased a shell jacket to go over the puffer jacket that he already has. I bought the two in one combo jacket. This basically has the puffer and shell in one. The puffer attaches to the inside of the shell with a zipper and can be easily removed as well. This combo jacket came out cheaper than purchasing the puffer jacket and shell jacket separately. The colors are limited, but it definitely saves you around $20 or so. My husband also bought some gloves. They are very sturdy and seem to be very long lasting. We got a bib set for my son. He actually tried it out and the clothes stayed super dry. Couldn't even tell that it was a little bit wet. Thumbs up on the fact that you will stay dry in the snowy weather. It is Hawaii, so their stock is limited. You can purchase it and order it through the store. They said that it would get to the store within a couple days and you could pick it up. Great if you are buying for something in advance, but if you need it right away you would probably need to settle for something similar. The staff are very nice. I would say that some of them could use a little more training on what is good for certain types of weather or places. Note that they do offer military discount and they have a rewards program as well. read more

Awesome staff. Every time I'm here they are really friendly and very helpful. Anytime you need a suggestion or advice they are more than willing to help. read more

The North Face store located on the third floor of the Ewa wing at Ala Moana Center. This store has active winter clothing for men, women, and children. They even sell backpacks, gloves, and shoes. On Tuesday night, the first of December, I stepped foot into The North Face store for the first time. I was greeted immediately by the employees. As I was browsing around the store I noticed some nice looking jackets and vests. I liked how the jackets had extra pockets on the front side near the breast area. These jackets can easily store the cellphones, pens, and small note pads. The price ranges for the jackets were between $50.00 to as much as $130.00 depending on the styles. If only I had waited for this store to open I would have purchased a nice looking jacket. One month too late. I do know that The North Face does accept any brand of jackets and footwear for recycle (drop it off in the designated bin) and the rewards can go towards any purchase of The North Face merchandises. read more

This is a new location at the Ala Moana center which opened late 2015. They carry the latest NF gear with both women and men's line. They really need to work on their customer service skills. I walk in with one female associate talking to what appeared to be a friend. I anticipate at least a "hello" or greeting. Nothing....then behind me two other shoppers walk in and she says "hello welcome". Then another follows and the two women continue to talk but no greeting. They need to properly train their associates or at least that particular one. read more

Looking to purchase high-quality outdoors gear at a high price? The North Face is your place! Most of their serious cold-weather and hiking apparel costs a pretty penny, but tends to be relatively more insulating and durable per gram than some other brands. With those select items, you are paying for quality. For things like socks or t-shirts, you are probably paying extra money for the brand name. Those caveats made, this particular North Face has a great staff on hand. They are immediately helpful, and are thoughtful when offering one gear sizes. If you ask for a size seven women's hiking boot, they are going to go ahead and bring out the blue as well as the pink model, and bring out the seven-point-five just in case it fits your foot better. If you're an island girl who has never seen snow, they can find you the right fit jacket for your budget that will keep you warm during the coldest winters in Minnesota. More importantly, they are well-versed in all of the local hiking trails and sporting events. Whether you're a tourist who wants advice on trails that will meet your skill level and experience, or kama'aina who want to talk-story with a fellow outdoorsperson about the upcoming triathlon, the staff at the North Face are ready to help. read more

Staff is always friendly and helpful. They've helped us find the best jackets for all my family members for the different trips we've been on. I like that since what they can carry in store is limited they help you with ordering online. If you're in the market for good quality sportswear and don't mind paying for it, this is the place for you. read more

This is the first The North Face store in Hawaii. Nice brand new store. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful employees. This is the first day open at about 10:00am and I didn't notice any grand opening issues. Well done. Granted you can buy online, but with some products it's almost necessary to see, touch and fit before making the purchase. Jackets - The North Face's primary products - especially so. More importantly, The North Face is a welcome addition to the mall because it gives adult dudes who are at the mall with a shopping female(s) somewhere to go. For this reason I think every mall should have stores with fishing equipment, firearms, cigars, etc. The North Face is a decent consolation. The North Face makes quality outdoor apparel and accessories. I really like their stuff. Their jackets are are pretty much the benchmark for quality. Go someplace cold (obviously not Hawaii) and you will see almost everyone wearing The North Face jackets - that pretty much says it all. Their backpacks are very nice too. Having been born and raised in Hawaii, I have a difficult time fitting in when I go to cold weather environments. The North Face helps me to at least not look like a douche and this is very much appreciated. read more

Excellent customer service. I had a pair of shoes get prematurely damaged while hiking and needed to send in under warranty. I lost my receipt but they were able to accept my shoes and send them out without any hassle. A few weeks wait and a brand new pair of shoes showed up at my door one morning. They even allowed me to bring the shoes in for a size exchange for a better fit. read more

Going somewhere cold? When I say cold, I'm talking like freezing or below freezing cold. Well, you gotta check out The North Face. They have something for everyone, whether it be thermals, a sweat shirt, gloves, caps or full on extreme cold weather gear. I was in the market for an extreme weather jacket for my trip to Northern Hokkaido where the temperatures recently have dipped into the single digits. I had another cold weather insulated jacket, but was worried that I would be facing temperatures below zero. The North Face is known for their line of jackets tailored to the needs of skiers, explorers, mountain climbers, etc. The jacket I settled on has a 550 down insulation with a waterproof, wind proof outer shell and an insulated hood as well and is rated one of the warmest. They have a fair selection, but make sure you go there with an open mind as there are many types and styles of jackets to choose from. They also may not have your size/color preference so that's why I mentioned going with an open mind. They do, however, offer two day in store ordering so that's a big plus. Just make sure you try on several different styles and sizes so you have a good idea of how it will fit you if you order it from them. Knowledgeable sales staff to help you with your selection, but be prepared to pay top dollar for their stuff. I believe you get what you pay for when it comes to specialty gear like this.

One of my favorite brands. Their quality among the best especially with the backpacks and travel bags! Already having 3 sizes of the travel duffle bags and a back pack that was nearing its life limit(I've had the same Hot Shot bag for almost 20 years) I decided to pick up a new one today and I know this one will last me just as long if not longer than my previous one. read more

Since Sport Authority closed down, Oahu's option for good hiking shoes is slim to none and I NEED new hiking shoes yesterday! After ordering new hiking shoes from REI online that didn't fit right I went to North Face in search of the perfect. The in-store selection of hiking and trail running shoes was extremely limited: only 4 different models for women and sizes were extremely limited. I was going to order the pair I really wanted online BUT even the online warehouse was out of stock. A lot of other Yelpers complained about the poor customer service: my experience at the store was fair. The first associate that assisted me was attentive BUT was absolutely clueless about the shoes. My husband asked her what the difference was between two different shoes and her answer was "the name." The second associate was much more knowledgeable about shoes and hiking. If you're in a pinch for new outdoor and winter gear, run on over to North Face. If you have time to spare, order online! read more

NORTH FACE @ALA MOANA CENTER NEW EWA WING 3F: I like outdoor stores in general. This store carries hiking shoes, winter jackets and pants for men, women and children. We were searching for men's hiking shoes. Unfortunately the store did not carry wide hiking shoes. No purchase this time but we will be back here. read more

I'm a little embarrassed to say this but, I have never seen snow. So, I don't know what to expect when I'm in the cold. Thanks to Kawika, he was so helpful in answering all our questions on what to wear, what is preferred, and what to expect. Overall, the staff here were friendly and very helpful. They don't have that much variety when it comes to colors on certain jackets, and they can be costly. Expect to spend at least $150-$300+ if you want a nice multipurpose jacket for the cold. read more

My girlfriend tried on several different hiking boots. Yuki was very helpful and professional. I probably wouldn't have been so accommodating. Good job, Yuki. read more

Big shout out to the lady who was working on Thursday night right before closing. Excellent customer service!

There finally here:) the staff was friendly and helpful. I was looking for a new travel backpack and it's nice to be able to actually try them on and see how much space they have. It's hard to get a feel for products online, so I was happy that TNF opened a store here in Ala Moana. I left a happy camper with a new travel backpack and will be back for more great products in the future. Don't forget to sign up for there rewards program read more

As the first North Face store in the islands, of course I'm happy. I'm a fan of the brand (owning a backpack and shoes, etc.)...but like most outdoor gear chains, the merchandise doesn't come cheap...sure technically adventure gear is more durable as it's meant for an active environment...but seriously 120 bucks for shorts or 300 bucks for a goose down jacket is ridiculous. Times like these we desperately need two stores to even the odds - REI and Uniqlo. While NorthFace makes a good effort, you might as well call it the love child of Patigonia and LuluLemon...no matter what, their middle name is "Oppressively expensive"!!! So check it out for the novelty, but shop at REI.com online instead... read more

I originally purchased a pair of shoes over the north face website. Unfortunately, I received the wrong size shoe WITH the correct labeled box shoe size. I tried contacting the mainland --who was quite rude. I didn't want to waste my time sending it back/ esp making a trip to the postal service. The easiest way was to return the shoes at the Alamoana location. The staff was very nice and helpful! Better yet-- I got $31 back from what I paid for--which was $104.50. If I need winter clothing/equipment...buy it from the store. Heck the online purchase. read more

My family and I went into the store today to purchase snow pants and winter jacket for an upcoming ski trip. The style selection and size selection is poor. When I finally decided to pay, the 2 cashiers behind the desk did not greet me and were busy socializing amongst each other. Also, the young Caucasian male cashier who supposedly attended Chaminade University did not want to honor my Chaminade ID for an educators discount and accused me of presenting a fraud ID. This will be my very last time shopping at this store. Not all the employees in this store is rude, but I'm so disappointed that Chaminade produced one that is. read more

I am amazed that we finally got The North Face store in the Ala Moana Shopping Center and let me tell you that it was a wonderful experience for me since I was looking for a good gift for a friend of mines, which I know that he will enjoy and wear during the chilly months in Hawaii, which is not until mid-December and January -mid March. I hope glad to shop here and if you join the perks membership at this store, it is free and you can get points for shopping at The North Face. Believe me, it is one store that you need to find especially when it gets cold, really cold, you need to be getting something that will keep you warm as well as toasty so that you will not be freezing your rear end off and I am going to be shopping here again because of the friendly staff and how helpful they were in assisting me in what I finding as well as checking to see if I signed up for the perks rewards program and the next time that i return to shop, i can just give them my mobile number instead and it will be in the system. Thanks for letting me check out this place and it is highly recommended that you come here for all of your winter needs. Welcome to Ala Moana Shopping Center The North Face read more

Hands down the WORST "service" I've ever experienced. My husband and I were in there for over 30 minutes trying to choose a gift for our friend. We don't know anything about hiking apparel so we needed some guidance and suggestions. Coming to a specialty shop like this, wouldn't you expect that? For the entire time we were there, not a single associate (there were four of them) bothered to ask us if we needed help, much less even acknowledge us, despite the store being completely dead. I saw another customer taking shoes up to the cashier to ask if he could try them on. What kind of retail service is that? No matter how great a store's merchandise is, unfriendly, unhelpful staff ruins the experience of shopping there. I refuse to spend my hard earned money at stores that treat customers so poorly. North Face, you just lost yourself a big sale and we'll never be back. read more
