Product Description
ICONIC 700 FILL DOWN WARMTH WITH THE CLASSIC NUPTSE SILHOUETTE
The North Face Men's 96 Retro Nuptse Jacket brings back the unmistakable proportions and heritage styling of the original 1996 design in a warm, lifestyle-focused insulated jacket. Built for mountain and city use, it combines oversized baffles, a boxy relaxed fit and durable recycled fabrics for everyday cold-weather wear.
Recycled 700 fill down insulation delivers strong warmth while remaining compressible, helping the jacket stay practical for regular use and travel. The body uses recycled nylon ripstop, while the collar, yoke overlay and lining use recycled nylon taffeta for added durability and a clean finish, all backed by a non-PFC durable water-repellent treatment for light weather resistance.
A stowable three-piece hood, secure-zip hand pockets, adjustable elastic cuffs and an internal hem drawcord give it everyday functionality, while the jacket also stows into the right hand pocket when needed. Triclimate loops and zip-in compatibility with The North Face GORE-TEX Mountain Jacket add integration options for those building a layered outerwear system.
