It's not so much about recycled polyester being bad, it's definitely better for the environment, at least in terms of reducing waste and resource use. But in this case, I was pointing out that polyester is still a cheap material, and some brands, like NorthFace, build a huge marketing story around it to justify premium prices. Most brands use recycled polyester because it cuts costs and sounds eco-friendly, which makes for good marketing and while companies love to market it like it's some breakthrough tech, it's not. In this case, the jacket doesn't really stand out from cheaper options. If you're into North Face and like the style, fair enough $56 for the logo isn't bad at all. But materials-wise, it's pretty standard stuff.
They tend to use materials that are better for the wallets of their shareholders, while posturing otherwise.
