The North Face Women's 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in White Dune is the official reissue of the iconic 1996 down jacket—a model that went from the mountains straight to the streets of the world's cities. This reissue recreates the classic lines and oversized fit of the original, combining clean mountaineering heritage with the urban aesthetic that has dominated streetwear over the past decade. If you're a fan of iconic collaborations like Supreme or Palace but your wardrobe lacks a sturdy, down-filled layer for winter, the 1996 Nuptse is the perfect addition to your rotation . At Aplug, you'll find the original in ready-to-wear condition, fully authenticated.

The jacket features a distinctive, boxy cut with wide, horizontal baffles —just like the original. The main panel, made of lightweight, shiny White Dune ripstop, contrasts with a black yoke (upper shoulder panel and collar) adorned with a subtle, spiral-textured pattern. The high, billowing collar opens into a stowable, three-part hood with drawcord and toggle adjustments. The center VISLON® zipper and pocket zippers are dark, accentuating the geometric, contrasting silhouette. The North Face logo is embroidered in white on the left chest and right shoulder, while adjustable straps at the cuffs and hem allow for precise volume adjustment. The jacket features two zip pockets and can be completely packed into the right pocket—this striking, down-filled "puff" gives it a look that's both technical and urban.

In the city , the Nuptse proves its worth as a main insulating layer for winter walks, travel, and everyday outings —its packability makes it the perfect backpack companion for trips or short breaks. It works well with both fluffy hoodies and thick sweaters, as well as minimalist longsleeves underneath; the oversized cut pairs easily with both wide, relaxed fit trousers and tighter leggings for contrast. For a full street-core vibe, add black cargo pants, thick socks, and chunky sneakers—the effect is classic Y2K and universally cool.

What makes The North Face Women's 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket White Dune unique?

• 700-fill recycled waterfowl down – High fill power provides excellent warmth-to-weight ratio; recycled down is certified by the Responsible Down Standard (RDS), ensuring traceability and ethical origins.
• 100% recycled nylon ripstop on the shell (40D 57 g/m²) – a lightweight, tear-resistant material with a subtle sheen that provides structure to the panels and durability to the entire jacket without adding bulk.
• 100% recycled nylon taffeta on reinforcements (50D 69 g/m²) - raised collar and yoke protect against abrasion and provide aesthetic color contrast.
• Non-PFC DWR (durable water-repellent) - A durable, PFC-free finish repels light moisture and allows beads to roll off without needing re-saturation after short periods of wear.
• VISLON® exposed center front zipper - durable, with large plastic teeth, quick to operate and jam-resistant, this feature speeds up the entire opening and closing of the jacket.
• Oversized baffles - wide chambers prevent the down from moving and maintain an even loft, which translates into visible "downiness" and durability of thermal insulation.
• Packable design - the jacket folds down to a small volume and fits completely into the right pocket, making it easy to transport in a backpack or bag without taking up much space.
• Adjustable cuffs (hook-and-loop tabs) and an internal drawcord at the bottom enhance the tightness of the body circumference and allow for precise volume adjustment depending on the layers of clothing underneath.

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

The jacket has a relaxed, boxy fit —it's intentionally loose with plenty of volume in the body. For a classic, oversized look (which is a hallmark of this style), choose your regular size. For a more fitted look without excess material, size down (especially if you plan on wearing thin layers underneath—a long sleeve or thin hoodie). If you're aiming for thick, layered outfits with a thick sweater or fleece, consider a size up—this will allow all the layers to flow freely without bunching up the fabric inside the jacket.
