Details & care

Built for mountain and city life, this 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket from The North Face has an unmistakable silhouette. With its water-repellent ripstop fabric and oversize down baffles for warmth, it will help you stay dry, stylish, warm and comfortable as the temps drop. A global symbol for decades, it's relaxed but packable and protective yet chill, which makes it a true icon. Plus, it's crafted from recycled materials for a smaller environmental footprint. Wear it with or without the attached three-piece hood, which packs directly into the collar or stow the whole jacket into the hand pocket for a convenient, easy-to-carry pouch when traveling.

Don't buy this cheap jacket
I had my jacket for less than one year and it already has a rip. My jacket was properly cared for and hung up in my closet and they refuse to give me a refund or exchange under the warranty.

Warm But Feathers wont stay in!
Coat is super warm but there are feathers constantly coming out. I am careful to not bump into things because I thought it was my fault at first but nope. Every day there are new spots feathers coming out. My jacket is Black but most of the time its black and white!

The Ultimate Men's Jacket
If you want a warm jacket this is it. Only wearing a short sleeve shirt in single digit temperatures. The ultimate jacket.

The Men's Big 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket.
The Men's Big 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket is an 11/11. From its timeless silhouette, to its relaxed fit, one can dress it up and or down and still evoke an elevated style. All North Face stores should have the BIG size to sample In-Store, rather than having clients buy online and have to deal with returns / exchanges and price adjustments! Personally, this would avoid exchanges / returns and price adjustments all together (based on my personal experience). Also, more color ways should be offered for the BIG size. While I'm not quite BIG, the size is more roomy than the XXL.

Very light, fits true to size
I live in Canada where the temps can be extremely frigid and this was amazing for warmth! Very light and compacts small to pack, fits true to size!
