The Iconic 1996 Nuptse, Rebuilt for Everyday Cold

Rooted in mountaineering and adopted on city streets, The North Face Women’s 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in TNF Black/Recycled Down keeps the unmistakable oversized baffles, relaxed boxy silhouette and heritage logos of the original. Its 700-fill recycled waterfowl down delivers warm, compressible insulation, while recycled nylon fabrics and a non-PFC DWR finish add everyday durability and water repellency.
