The North Face Women's 1996 Retro Nuptse (Smokey Brown / TNF Black) is an archival reissue of a '90s puffer icon, blending mountain heritage with urban flair. Distinctive scaled panels, a cropped, boxy fit, and a contrasting yoke recreate the DNA of the 1996 original in a version ready for everyday winter wear. Part of the ongoing "1996 Retro" line, the puffer is aimed at those seeking a warm puffer with a distinctive silhouette and proven materials. At Aplug, every product is verified for authenticity and shipped deadstock in its original packaging .

The design prioritizes distinct form and function: Smokey Brown with a black TNF yoke , lightweight, slightly shiny ripstop, and oversized horizontal panels create a short, boxy silhouette (center back approximately 60.3 cm) that maintains loft and warmth in urban winters. A high collar with taffeta reinforcement, an exposed VISLON® zipper at the front, zip pockets, and the ability to pack the jacket into the right pocket enhance travel utility. Embroidered, enlarged logos on the chest and shoulder, adjustable cuffs (Velcro and elastic), an internal drawcord at the hem, and a stowable, three-piece hood complete the set of solutions for cool, dry climates and everyday commuting.

The style plays best with proportions: balance a boxy, cropped puffer with wide-leg jeans, cargo pants, or high-waisted leggings, and layer a heavyweight fleece or hoodie underneath. Earthy tones (olive, beige, ecru) will accentuate the Smokey Brown, while black will tie the whole look together with a contrasting TNF yoke. In winter, you can pair it with chunkier sneakers or hiking boots, and when traveling, you'll appreciate the packability and quick layering under a shell or long parka.

What makes The North Face Women's 1996 Retro Nuptse different?

• 700-fill recycled down (RDS) – high warmth-to-weight ratio, fast loft return and certified ethically sourced (Responsible Down Standard, CU 843098).
• Recycled nylon ripstop + non-PFC DWR – lightweight, durable fabric with a PFC-free hydrophobic finish that causes water to bead and short showers to not soak in immediately.
• Oversized baffles – larger down chambers maintain even insulation distribution and better heat retention while maintaining the iconic “puffy” silhouette.
• Taffeta reinforcements (collar, yoke) – greater abrasion resistance in sensitive areas and a stable collar protecting the neck.
• VISLON® center front zip – durable, easy-to-use zipper makes it easy to use with gloves and increases everyday reliability.
• Stowable, adjustable hood – quick protection when the weather changes without adding bulk when not needed.
• Adjustable warmth and fit – elastic cuffs with Velcro and an internal drawcord at the bottom limit heat loss and adjust the circumference.
• Packable into a pocket – compresses into the right pocket, making it easy to fit into a backpack or bag while traveling.

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

The fit is relaxed/boxy and slightly cropped —designed loosely, with room for layering. If you prefer a more fitted look, consider going down a size . If you plan to wear a thicker fleece or sweater underneath, choose your regular size (TTS) . The silhouette intentionally creates volume in the torso and shoulders; the back length of approximately 24 inches (60.3 cm) favors proportions with the higher waist of the trousers.
