The North Face High Pile 600 Fill Recycled Waterfowl Down Nuptse Jacket TNF Black is a contemporary reinterpretation of a brand icon that originated in 1996 as a functional mountain jacket and became a streetwear icon. The High Pile Nuptse combines the iconic down-filled shape with the trend toward textured, plush materials and a focus on recycled solutions—without external designer interference, it's a seasonal evolution of the Nuptse line toward softer, lifestyle versions. This jacket is for those who appreciate The North Face's journey from purely technical heritage to urban fashion, while still wanting to retain the functional features of the original. At Aplug, you'll find products verified for authenticity and available for immediate shipping .

The jacket features a matte, rough, plush, high-pile (sherpa) texture across the body and sleeves in deep TNF Black, inviting to the touch and lending a premium feel. Contrast is created by smooth, slightly shiny nylon panels on the shoulders, upper chest, and collar , which protect against abrasion and enhance functionality. The Nuptse's signature wide, horizontal down-filled baffles, high-profile collar, and exposed VISLON® center zipper remain unchanged. The embroidered The North Face logo on the chest and back in contrasting color provides a recognizable brand signature—the overall look is chunky, urban, technical with nylon details, yet accessible to the lifestyle wearer.

The Nuptse high-pile jacket works best with chunky styles—pair it with heavy denim, wide-leg cargo pants, or baggy trousers, and add chunky sneakers or hiking boots. The sherpa texture contrasts effectively with matte fabrics and enhances the vintage vibe of the outfit. Suitable for commuting, hiking, and autumn/winter travel, this jacket can be worn alone on cold days or layered under thinner outer layers. Remember: DWR protects against drizzle and light snow, but in heavy rain, you'll need an additional water-repellent coating. To care for it, use a gentle wash according to the manufacturer's instructions; the down regains its loft when tumble-dried with a few balls—be careful with the temperature due to the high-pile's sensitivity.

What makes The North Face High Pile 600 Fill Recycled Waterfowl Down Nuptse Jacket TNF Black stand out?

• High-pile sherpa on the entire torso and sleeves - the thick, hairy structure traps air close to the body, providing sensual thermal insulation and a pleasant-to-touch material that molds to the wearer's body.
• 600 Fill Recycled Waterfowl Down - Natural waterfowl down with a sufficiently high fill value offers a good balance between warmth and packability; the recycled origin reduces the carbon footprint compared to virgin down and fits in with the ethical preferences of modern consumers.
• Recycled nylon ripstop/taffeta overlay with non-PFC DWR - reinforced, smooth panels on the shoulders, upper chest and collar resist abrasions and everyday wear; the DWR coating allows water to bead off without the need for PFCs but does not replace full membrane waterproofing.
• Contrasting yoke design - The deliberate contrast between the matte high-pile and the shiny nylon upper elevates aesthetics and functionality, creating a clear visual divide that highlights the classic Nuptse silhouette.
• Exposed VISLON® zipper with zip garage - quick closure, durable zippers and rubber neck protection that reduces metal contact with skin and increases comfort in cold weather.
• Prominent embroidery of The North Face logos on the chest and back – recognizable branding reinforces brand identity and adds authenticity while sending a clear streetwear signal.
• Oversized, boxy cut with a chunky silhouette - Nuptse's signature wide-sleeve construction and relaxed fit allow for layering and stuffing without restricting movement, perfect for the colder months.
• High-pile added volume – Sherpa isn't as packable as the smooth ripstop of the classic Nuptse, meaning the jacket takes up more space in your luggage, but offers a more textured, premium look.

How to choose the right size for The North Face High Pile 600 Fill Recycled Waterfowl Down Nuptse Jacket?

The Nuptse fits true to size (TTS) —if you're after the classic, oversized look that's the model's signature, choose your regular size. For a more fitted look, or if you plan to wear the jacket primarily with thin layers, consider going down a size. If you'll be layering thick sweaters, puffer vests, or planning to wear it with a full winter outfit, size up—the high-pile design adds volume, making it perfect for those who want a defined, chunky silhouette. The stiffened structure of the down baffles doesn't stretch much, so your bust and shoulder measurements should be your deciding factors.
