Description
The North Face didn’t just make a puffer. They made the Nuptse. A jacket rooted in the unforgiving nature of mountaineering and immortalized on city streets.

With unmistakable oversized baffles, and ultra-warm 700-fill down insulation, it’s been a global symbol for decades. Relaxed but packable. Protective but chill. This is an icon.

I love my Retro
I bought an original 1996 Retro in 2001 when I moved to Colorado. Like an idiot, I gave it away, as I had too many down jackets. Well, last year they came out with a Yellow/Black (Not the screaming bright yellow, the more subtle yellow) jacket and I bought and I am never getting rid of it. I love th...

Very unsatisfactory
This jacket is pitiful. My husband bought one off the discount rack at a chain store, and I loved it. His is a heavyweight winter jacket, warm and comfortable. So I ordered one of my own, the exact same style. Three times the price from the North Face directly because everywhere else was out of stoc...

Perfect for winter. I love this jacket due to the fact that it keeps warm enough when the temperature drops in 20s and 30s. I love it and bought two for myself and one for my wifey.
Nice fit and comfy

I've had my original 1996 Nuptse since the late 1990's. It's still in good shape and still warm especially with the hood. I put off buying another Nuptse because for a longest time the Nuptses didn't have hoods. I was thrilled to see that the Retro Nuptse was back. So I bought another one in a cool color to go with my original.
Lost quality
