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 White Dune/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.

BreathablePackableDown fillDWR - Water repellent

Use this relaxed, boxy vest over the layers you plan to wear most often. Its down insulation concentrates warmth around the torso while leaving the arms free. For packing, it stows in its right hand pocket; the attached hood can also be stowed when not needed.
