1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket blends iconic style with lofty down warmth
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I live in my Nuptse all winter—it’s the perfect mix of retro looks and serious warmth. The 700-fill down is toasty but not bulky, and I love how it packs into its own pocket for travel. Whether I’m commuting, walking the dog, or heading to the mountains, this jacket never lets me down."
Bringing back a classic from the golden age of The North Face, the 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket captures timeless style while delivering modern warmth and function. The oversized baffles filled with 700-fill goose down wrap us in lofty comfort, keeping the chill at bay from mountain towns to urban streets. The durable nylon ripstop shell, treated with a water-repellent finish, stands strong against light snow and drizzles, ensuring we stay cozy through shifting winter weather.
When the day warms up, the stowable hood tucks neatly into the collar for a clean look, and the entire jacket packs down into its own pocket for effortless portability. The boxy silhouette nods to the original ’96 design, blending old-school mountaineering heritage with everyday versatility. With warmth, packability, and unmistakable style, the Retro Nuptse earns its spot as a true cold-weather icon.

Perfect fits and stylish
I ordered an extra large and it was the perfect size for me. I am a female, and my weight is 200 Ibs. My height is 5'5. My bust around my chest area is not that big. I would suggest any girls who are bigger in the breast area to order a size up from what you would normally would order, once zipped up, you will experience if the size ordered is truly the correct size.

I would buy this coat again!
The jacket is beautiful. It keeps me nice and warm, not to mention, it's also very comfortable. It fits perfectly and it also keeps me warm without feeling too big. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. Definitely worth the price!

The best jacket
I bought the Nuptse model as a gift for my daughter. The quality of the jacket is 10/10. I bought it online, and everything was great, right down to the timely delivery. My daughter is delighted with her new jacket; she told me it's super warm, even for the extreme cold in Argentina.

Cropped with big arms
Super stylish but sizes run odd. Sleeves are very long and wide, and the jacket is cropped. I'm between an XS and S and liked how the shell fits on the S, but opted for XS because the arms on S are ridiculously big.

Favorite 96 style
I love the 96 style Nuptse jacket so much I bought it in Black TNF. Red TNF, Green TNF, Purple TNF, and now the White Dune TNF. This will always be my favorite style and look.

Just OK, but horrible Customer Service
- Familiarity:

The jacket was just OK. I have one that I purchased 10 years ago and was hoping that this one will be the same but it is not. The sleeves are super bulky and the valcro at the end of each sleeve just does not look right. The jacket looks very boxy. Just wanted to mention my experience as the jacket was sent to the wrong address (one that I lived in over 5 years ago, but it is no longer even listed on my profile so I have no idea how they sent it there). I sent a few emails but was not offered any help or explanation. Since I traveled, I could not even go to the old address right away. Thank god the people who live there now remembered me and held on to the package. Very dissapointing experience.
