Product Description
RETRO 700-FILL DOWN JACKET WITH A RELAXED FIT, SHINY RIPSTOP SHELL AND STOWABLE HOOD
The North Face Men's 96 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Summit Navy / TNF Black brings back one of the most recognisable cold-weather silhouettes in outdoor history. Inspired by the original 1996 Nuptse, this jacket combines oversized baffles, a boxy relaxed fit and a shiny ripstop shell for that unmistakable retro mountain look.
Built with RDS-certified 700-fill goose down, it delivers serious warmth without unnecessary bulk. The recycled nylon ripstop shell and recycled taffeta overlays give the jacket a durable, heritage-inspired finish, while the non-PFC DWR coating helps shed light moisture when the weather turns.
The stowable three-piece hood tucks neatly into the collar when not needed, giving you extra coverage without changing the clean Nuptse profile. Secure-zip hand pockets keep essentials close, and the jacket can stow into the right-hand pocket for easier packing and travel.
Finished with oversized embroidered The North Face logos on the left chest and back-right shoulder, the 96 Retro Nuptse is built for cold city days, weekend missions and everyday winter wear. It is warm, bold and unmistakably The North Face.
