The North Face Women's 1996 Retro Nuptse 700 Fill Packable Jacket Recycled TNF Black is a reissue of the iconic 1996 down jacket that pushed the boundaries between mountaineering gear and urban fashion. The model harkens back to the original, oversized silhouettes of the era while integrating modern sustainability standards—the down and nylon are recycled, and production meets the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). This garment is for streetwear fans who value durable heritage gear and aren't afraid of a bit of bulk. At Aplug, you'll find authentic, verified versions of this model, available in sizes for every body type.

This jacket features a glossy TNF Black ripstop fabric with distinct horizontal baffles of down creating a distinctive, boxy silhouette. The high, padded collar with an integrated, three-piece hood can be completely stowed away, and a VISLON® center zipper ensures smooth, hassle-free closure. Embroidered The North Face logos appear on the left chest and right shoulder , taffeta overlay on the collar and shoulders adds structure, and partially elasticated cuffs with hook-and-loop adjustments seal out the cold. The jacket is both substantial (700-fill down ensures warmth) and surprisingly compact—it packs directly into the right pocket, making it the perfect travel companion.

Stylistically, the Nuptse works both as a winter main layer and as a midlayer under more technical gear . Its boxy cut pairs naturally with oversized tees, wide-leg denim, and cargo pants—the retro-casual effect is undeniable. It's the perfect pair for a pair of chunky sneakers, vintage hiking boots, or even the classic adidas Superstar. If you're into Y2K revival vibes or '90s vibes in general, this jacket will anchor your entire look. It also complements high-tech streetwear—composite fabrics, functional accessories—making it equally at home in pure technical outfits and relaxed, lifestyle ensembles.

What are the features of The North Face Womens 1996 Retro Nuptse 700 Fill Packable Jacket Recycled TNF Black?

• 700 fill recycled waterfowl down – ethically sourced, RDS-certified down that provides exceptional thermal insulation at minimal weight; it retains its performance even after repeated packing and unpacking.
• Non-PFC DWR impregnation – a waterproof coating without harmful PFCs protects the fabric from light moisture and prevents soaking without negatively impacting the environment.
• 40D 57 g/m² recycled nylon ripstop – Lightweight, shiny upper resists abrasion and tearing; evokes the original '90s look while meeting modern durability standards.
• 50D 69 g/m² recycled nylon taffeta on collar and yoke – a smooth, reinforcing finish that increases durability in high-wear areas and improves overall comfort.
• VISLON® center front zip – a massive, speedy zipper that ensures reliable fastening and unfastening without the risk of getting stuck; known for its use in premium outdoor gear.
• Packable design for pockets – the design allows the entire jacket to be packed into the right pocket, perfect for travelers and those who value minimalism; a fallback solution in changeable weather.
• Partially-encased elastic cuffs + hook-and-loop adjustment – ​​Partially-encased elastic cuffs and hook-and-loop adjustment limit the inflow of cold air and adjust the circumference to fit thicker layers below.
• Internal drawcord at hem with cord locks – an internal drawcord at the bottom with visible stoppers allows for precise, durable tightening and eliminates fraying and cold air leakage at the hips.

How to choose the right size for The North Face Women's 1996 Retro Nuptse?

The Nuptse fits true to size (TTS), but has a deliberately boxy, relaxed fit —if you prefer an authentic, retro-oversized look typical of the '90s, order your standard size. For a more fitted look without added bulk, you can order one size down. If you plan on wearing thicker layers underneath (fleece, a warm sweater, a thermal longsleeve) , stick with your standard size or order one size up—the down padding and taffeta lining have minimal stretch. The shoulder heights and sleeve lengths are typical of The North Face women's fit, so fluctuation should be minimal, but always test offline or consult the Aplug size chart to be sure.
