The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket is an official reissue of a '90s icon, restoring its original proportions and oversized baffle in a White Dune colorway with a black yoke . The design draws on the Nuptse's mountain DNA and translates it to urban, winter wear—with 700-fill down , lightweight construction, and clean panel geometry. This jacket is for fans of archival TNF styles who want proven insulation and a distinct '90s vibe in their daily rotation. At Aplug, every product is verified for authenticity and shipped deadstock in its original packaging .

A boxy cut with wide baffles and a contrasting yoke creates a geometric, '90s look and genuine warmth for city and travel. A White Dune body made of slightly shiny ripstop is paired with a black, textured shoulder panel and taffeta collar; the high, puffed collar conceals a fold-over, three-part hood with drawcords. An exposed VISLON® zipper and dark pocket zippers enhance the contrast, while embroidered TNF logos on the chest and shoulder maintain the archival layout. Recycled 700-fill down , a Non-PFC DWR finish, two zip pockets, and the ability to pack the jacket into the right pocket make it a practical, portable layer for cold days.

Neutral cream and black easily fit into your winter rotation—pair the jacket with wide-leg denim, cargo pants, or technical softshell pants in black/olive. Tighten the bottom with chunkier footwear (trek-inspired boots, hiking boots, chunky sneakers), and layer a thicker fleece or hoodie underneath for a classic street-mountain look. Keep the proportions boxy: a shorter T-shirt/fleece, a longer sweatshirt, a beanie, and fleece gloves will complete the look without overloading the details.

What makes The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket special?

• 700 fill recycled down - very good warmth-to-weight ratio, which really keeps you warm in the city and doesn't weigh you down when traveling.
• 100% recycled ripstop nylon (40D) on the body – lightweight, tear-resistant, with a subtle sheen for clean panel lines.
• Recycled nylon taffeta (50D) on yoke and lining - reinforced shoulder area to better withstand rubbing from a backpack.
• Non-PFC DWR finish – Raindrops and light snow roll off, so the jacket soaks up water more slowly in everyday use.
• Oversized baffles – wide chambers stabilize the down, maintain loft, and give Nuptse its characteristic downy profile.
• VISLON® exposed zip - strong zipper with large teeth operates smoothly even when wearing gloves.
• Packaway, adjustable hood - 3-panel construction in the collar provides coverage on windy days and organization when not needed.
• Packable into right pocket - Quickly compresses into a "pouffe" for easy carrying in a bag or backpack.
• Adjustable cuffs and waistband for a better seal and volume control depending on the layers underneath.
• Ethical down origins – many versions of this series have Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certification.

How to choose the right size for The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket?

It's a relaxed/boxy fit with plenty of volume in the body and a shorter length. Want a classic, slightly oversized look? Get your regular size. Prefer a more fitted look and wear thin layers? Go down a size . Planning thick layers (fleece, heavy sweater) or have larger shoulders? Consider adding one size . The elastic waistband and Velcro cuffs help tighten the fit without sacrificing mobility.
