Exploration is its oxygen--shaping who The North Face is, what it stands for and what it strives for. Because the path of discovery is also a path of progression. To see the world beyond the map and reimagine what each of us can accomplish. Since 1966, The North Face has continually explored new ways to make a difference for each other and our planet.
I’m 5’1 typically a small in jackets but I ordered this in a large for an oversized fit. I could have stuck with my size and it fit perfect but I really wanted it to be oversized and cozy. It kept me so warm while in NYC. Worth the money in my opinion! It has a pocket on the inside which was perfect for my phone and wallet. Adjustable on the sides for a fitted look, and adjustable sleeves.

Winter coat
The colors are great, however, I had to return it. It was extremely puffy in the shoulders. I looked like a football player/the marsh mellow man from ghost busters/the michelin man/the kid from the Christmas Story movie! If your small it will make you look big, if you're big you will look massive. It's also a crop coat that is pufffy. That's a no go!

perfect winter jacket!
I’m 5’1 typically a small in jackets but I ordered this in a large for an oversized fit. I could have stuck with my size and it fit perfect but I really wanted it to be oversized and cozy. It kept me so warm while in NYC. Worth the money in my opinion! It has a pocket on the inside which was perfect for my phone and wallet.

Original But Unique
Absolutely love this jacket. It is lightweight and warm. I love the crackle design. I find that it ran a little big I'm usually an S but opted for an XS and the fit was perfect. I'm 5'5 and 125 pounds.

Good, but arms are too long
I’ve wanted this jacket for a long time and finally purchased. I like it a lot but the arms are too long for my taste. Not sure if it’s due to bad design or if I just have short arms. If I sized down, it would’ve been slightly too small I think.

Love this throwback
I was hesitate to purchase with seeing it in person because I thought it would be too puffy but it is perfect! I’m also not a small girl. I’m 5’6, 170 pounds and ordered the Large and have room to spare. I’ve received so many compliments on it. It is a throwback to the puffer coats in the 90s so if you didn’t like that style you’re not going to dig this either, hints it being called Nuptse 1996.

Sooooo Cauuuuute!!!!
This jacket is adorable. I purchased as a present for my teen daughter. The sizing is generous. She wears a 5/6 so I went with a small and she still has room to grow if needed. I had her try on a medium as well the small was the better fit. Very pleased with my purchase and quality of this jacket.

True to size and so warm!
This jacket is so warm. I have been outside in the negatives and have been perfectly fine with this little gem. The bottom of the jacket has drawstrings which I think have come in handy just to get that added protection. I was debating between a medium and large and since I am right on the line as far as the sizing chart between the two sizes I decided to go for the medium since I wanted a more snug fit. It turned out to be perfect.

So good!
This is my second North Face Nuptse. These coats stand the test of time. Warm, comfortable and stylish. You can’t go wrong with this jacket. I am 5’5” 113lbs and ordered my usual XS. I found the jacket to fit true to size.
