The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket is a legendary cold-weather essential, reissued with authentic vintage styling and modern performance. Featuring a bold color-block design with deep forest green body and black shoulder/yoke panel, it showcases the iconic white embroidered 'The North Face' logo on the chest. Constructed with high-fill-power down insulation (typically 700+ fill), quilted box-wall baffling ensures superior warmth-to-weight ratio and loft retention. The jacket includes a full-length YKK two-way zipper, adjustable drawcords at hem and cuffs, and two zippered hand pockets with internal storm flaps for wind protection. A stand-up collar with chin guard provides added neck coverage, while the slightly cropped, relaxed fit offers mobility without bulk. Made from durable, water-resistant recycled nylon ripstop shell (often 100% recycled), it balances heritage aesthetics with responsible materials. Ideal for urban winter commuting, light outdoor excursions, or layering in sub-freezing conditions. Its timeless silhouette has made it a streetwear staple since its 1996 debut—equally at home in snowy mountains or city streets. Includes original hangtag and branded packaging as shown.
