The North Face Men's 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest 2026 TNF Black-R

40D recycled nylon ripstop with a non-PFC DWR finish gives the 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest that classic shiny look while helping water bead off the surface. Oversized baffles and 700-fill recycled waterfowl down deliver high-loft warmth that stays compressible, with a taffeta overlay on the collar and yoke for added durability.

The North Face Men's 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest keeps it relaxed and boxy for easy layering, adds a stowable, adjustable three-piece hood, and closes up with an exposed VISLON® center front zip. Secure-zip hand pockets lock down essentials, and the 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest stows into the right hand pocket for packable warmth on the move.
