Customer Reviews The North Face Nuptse Jacket

This is one of the 'original' North Face jackets and legend has it that it only even came about due to excess sleeping bag materials at the factory (which, at that point in time, was a tiny operation)...as well as a need to outfit climbers with something durable, packable (light) and most importantly - warm. I'm pleased to say the current version of the jacket still holds up for the same reasons. I've worn it for cold evenings and mornings in the backcountry (low 20s F) with a baselayer or lightweight fleece underneath and have been plenty warm. It also packs down to an extremely small size, which is key from both a space and weight perspective when backpacking. Lastly, the outer facing of the fabric is fairly abrasion-resistant...I've gotten it scraped on rock and snagged on branches without incident . It is an extremely comfortable but 'puffy' jacket - so some might not be into this look - if so, there are other jackets out there that don't have the same level of down feathers in the 'fill' of the jacket - but, consequently, in my experience you won't be as warm either. Overall, this is a fantastic piece of eminently functional outerwear that I highly recommend. It's nice to know that the North Face is still producing jackets at the same level as decades ago.

Size was chosen from the suggested dimensions I provided. I have a prior purchase of the down vest by North Face, and I have another brand of jacket that I wear with no issues. This jacket fits well and is very warm and comfortable. It is also an excellent wind breaker, which I often require, and it is superior to the other brand I own. I picked this jacket because I like their vest, but need the additional warmth of the jacket much more often. I would recommend this jacket to anyone wanting a nice warm, lightweight, wind protecting jacket.

I recommend this jacket, it's so light but it's a little big so make sure you get the right size.

It is a great jacket.

Bought this for a cold weather trip and was not disappointed with the warmth. Fit is a little bulky and it has no features, but it kept me warm so 4 stars overall. Good quality jacket which, disappointingly, doesn't fit as snugly as my old nuptse vest so I'm considering having it slightly tailored to fit a little more snugly.

My son loves his northface jacket.

Gift for boyfriend, he loves it for our cold Wisconsin winters

Our son uses it for everyday cold weather wear.

I bought as a gift and the person was very happy with it

Pretty typical winter, puffy coat. Nothing special about it. Gets the job done.

I am 5' 10" and 190 with athletic build...fit guide suggested Large size. I had an older Extra Large version so I knew the recommended size would be too small. I bought the Extra Large size and it fits tighter than old version. Be careful about the size you order!

As others have noted, this is a nice, warm, lightweight jacket. However, the sleeves are far too long, as least for me. I'm 5'6" tall and bought a medium. The sleeves are a good two inches too long - while the rest of the fit is perfect. Have to decide whether to return it, or risk having it altered.

Would buy another!

Would recommend this jacket.

This jacket is warm. With really windy weather, it can be a little issue but it also zips in with my Northface shell!

Lightweight and warm and stylish for 13 year old.

Still love it even though there is no hoodie

I use it in the morning and late at night. Temperatures are getting cold. I feel as if I start sweating 2 minutes after I put it on. Very solid jacket.

I like the style and fit of this jacket

I'll admit, when I first opened the box up and took out the box i was not too impressed. Although I got a chance to use it recently and let me tell you this coat did it job! Now I understand the hype behind the NorthFace Jackets, I guess I had to actually try it myself before believing the hype.

Great for everyday use

Its a very soft jacket so I do not recommend doing harsh activate

I use it as my go-to jacket since I live in a cold area. Perfect for almost anytime except maybe wet conditions. One good thing is that you can pair it up with a Triclimate Jacket and get good warmth as well as all weather proof jacket.

Front pockets feel cheap inside otherwise really nice warm jacket.

Wore it when it was -10f and was toasty warm. not big and bulky like some down jackets
