The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse jacket is a modern reissue of the iconic 1996 mountaineering piece, featuring premium 700-fill goose down insulation for exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio. Constructed with a durable, water-resistant 100% nylon ripstop shell in sleek black, it showcases the signature box-quilted design with horizontal baffling for optimal loft retention.

A zippered hand pocket and internal media pocket enhance functionality. The jacket hangs with a slightly cropped, contemporary silhouette—ideal for urban layering or light outdoor use. Includes an original 'REPAIR SHEET' tag attached, indicating authenticity and care instructions. Its timeless design bridges heritage performance with modern streetwear appeal, making it versatile for daily wear in cold seasons. Perfect for fall and winter city exploration, casual outings, or as a statement outer layer over sweaters or hoodies.
