Iconic 1996 Nuptse Warmth in a Packable Vest
Rooted in mountaineering and established as a city icon, The North Face Women’s 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest in TNF Black/Recycled Down combines oversized baffles and a relaxed boxy silhouette with 700-fill recycled waterfowl down. The warm layer remains highly compressible, uses recycled nylon fabrics and adds a non-PFC DWR finish for water repellency.
