I have never heard of "Ubest" but I know that you can get Northface stuff (and lots of other brands) at "Tolja" located on the ground floor of Ha Noi Towers, around the corner from the supermarket. It is a bit of hit and miss though in the shop. It pays to go back regularly as they have new stuff coming in all the time. Also, if they dont have what you are looking for or the correct size or colour, ask them to go and look in their storage. I have bought a Northface jacket there before.

yes i second Yinka. they have real stuff but at a killer price compare to back home.

Since it's made in Vietnam anyway. I suppose it must be boxes that fell from the truck ;)

but as said, you must go back often as what you see is what you get.

the place is commonly known as the "Russian store".

Thanks guys, Yeah i second the boxes falling off the back of the truck. I checked it out on Friday and found nothing but my male friend found pants. I might be better off paying full price in Australia.
