The North Face 96 Retro Nuptse Jacket

The outer fabric is made from recycled polyamide, while the interior features warm down with a fill power of 700. This forms the foundation of the 96 Retro Nuptse Jacket by The North Face, a women's down jacket that returns to its original design from 1996. The Nuptse model was created as gear for the mountains, and this version retains its signature characteristics: prominently quilted chambers, a glossy surface, and a voluminous silhouette, making it one of the most beloved retro pieces in urban fashion. The red colorway adds vibrancy and energy to darker outfits while maintaining its outdoor essence.

The surface features a PFC-free water-repellent treatment DWR, ensuring that a brief shower or wet snow will not catch you off guard. The smooth nylon lining facilitates easy layering over thicker sweaters or hoodies. The relaxed fit allows ample room for layering in colder weather. An adjustable hem and Velcro cuffs prevent cold air from entering. The jacket zips up, and you can store your hands and small items in the zippered side pockets, with an embroidered logo featured at the front. It is suitable for both city wear and excursions, pairing well with loose jeans, cargo pants, or sweatpants, along with chunkier footwear. Founded in 1966 in San Francisco by climbing enthusiasts, The North Face continues to blend technical outdoor gear with clothing that is equally comfortable in urban settings.
