Classic 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket delivers iconic warmth with recycled down insulation

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"The retro look is timeless, but the performance is what really stands out. The 700-fill down packs serious warmth without bulk, and the recycled nylon shell sheds light moisture and stands up to daily wear. It’s one of those jackets that’s just as good for school days as it is for snowy weekends outside."


The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket brings iconic mountain style and cold-weather warmth together in one timeless piece. The North Face uses 700-fill down insulation to deliver lofty comfort that feels light but packs the heat, making it perfect for crisp winter mornings and chilly walks to school.


A recycled nylon shell with a DWR coating adds everyday durability and weather resistance, while the boxy silhouette nods to the legendary ’90s original. Two zippered hand pockets keep gloves or small essentials close, and the recycled lining ensures soft, eco-conscious comfort. Designed for warmth, function, and unmistakable style, this jacket keeps cold weather at bay with retro flair.

I would not buy this product again

Although the jacket appears to be warm, the sizing is very odd. The length of the jacket is also a little too short.

Will be buying again

I'm just so in love with the Nupste collection for myself and my daughter. These coats are so warm but at the same time don't feel so heavy. This is my 4th Nupste coat purchased, and not because they don't last, but because I want different colors

i wish this jacket also has a hood

everything is great but a hood would be very nice to not get wet when its rainy or head needs more insulation

It's fits perfectly. It's comparable to the women's S and it's a cute color. I love it.

Best Jacket Ever

My original Nuptse got stolen and it took forever to find a replacement in the specific size. I waited literally months before a restock. Saw my size again and I immediately bought. It's one of the best jackets since it's lightweight but keeps you warm. I like how it's boxy so I can wear a hoodie underneath it.

I would buy this product again.

My son really likes the jacket, perfect as an early spring jacket. The only thing to note is that the body is a little on the short side and we will have to get a new jacket for next winter. But overall good jacket.

The jacket can be compressed into its own pocket making it easy to carry in a back or bag for travel or outdoor active, The down insulation provides excellent warmth, The North Face Feather Jacket can be expensive compared to synthetic alternatives or lower-end down jackets.

Yes

It is different, it has style and the color is not like everyone else's and it is very presentable when you wear it and feel the softness of the jacket.
