$77.40The Story
This one doesn’t try to look like a classic—The North Face Men's 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket is the classic, built with original shiny ripstop and oversized baffles that separate it from standard puffers. The 40D recycled nylon ripstop is finished with non-PFC DWR, and 700-fill recycled waterfowl down delivers warmth that still packs down small.
Backed by The North Face, the 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket keeps it relaxed and boxy with a stowable, adjustable three-piece hood, secure-zip hand pockets, and an exposed VISLON® center front zip. It stows into the right pocket, tightens at the hem with internal cord locks, and integrates via Triclimate™ loops with the GORE-TEX Mountain Jacket.
