Customer Reviews The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket

I have to walk my dogs three times a day. Winters, even in Tennessee can be really unpleasant without the right coat. This coat is perfect. I just walked the dogs in 30 degrees with sleet and I was perfectly comfortable with just a long sleeve t shirt underneath. I no longer dread winter.

The jacket lives up to all the rage. It's soft and puffy. Being a stand up collar, it does a good job and laying flat which was a big deal for me (short necked). It ended up being warmer than I was expecting. When I'm indoors where it's already warm I have to take it off because I feel my back overheating. The fit from the chest down was amazing too. Normally I have problems with TNF tops because the product gets tight on my hips. Sizing up results in it being too big everywhere else. This is a great fit which is customizable with the bands on the waistline. The jacket lives up to everything you expect it to. But if TNF were to make a bigger badder brother I'd like to see one with a built in hood. The zip out hood didn't cut it for the cold weather and snow where I am. Another alternative to adjusting the wrists would be nice as well. If not then at least more room to make it tighter. I don't have the option to adjust it to how tight I need it so it's loose (though still visually appealing). Finally the zippers. I don't have any problems with it getting stuck, but it would be great if it had a double zipper. Being that a newer version would be more "premium", an upgrade on the zipper pulls wouldn't be a bad idea either. All in all the nuptse is a great jacket. Definately considering getting another.

Great product, warm nice to see the old school styles coming back. My only gripe is that its too short in the body. I ordered one size up to be able to wear it over winter clothes, broad enough in the shoulder and trunk, be nice if it was 4 inches longer in the back.

This jacket is awesome. I recently saw a very stylish DJ I like wearing it and thought it looked great. Winter is starting in Wisconsin so I jumped on this right away and I'm very happy I did.

I really loved the box it came in. I unfortunately shipped it to the wrong address but, overall I'm very happy!

Really love this coat, I bought it for my husbands birthday and he absolutely loves it.

Great product, light weight, easy move. It is just smaller than I thought, so I changed to a larger size.

Warm,Perfect!

I brought this as a gift to my dad. He has been wearing North face for 11 years now and he needed a new one he doesn't wear any coat besides North Face. He loves everything about it. Fir him just perfect and he is 69 years old

Looks nice and keeps you warm!

I love it

Great for freezing wether when you need to be warm but don't want to sacrifice style and personality

Great product and quality!

Love the jacket, the cut, the style, the color, how light it is, how warm it is. its perfect!

always wanted a nuptse but it had to be the right one. The Hero Purple was the one. Love the color. Very rich shade. Soft material that hugs you. Love it!

bought my 2xl nuptse back in september worn it the past 3 days with a t shirt under it the wind never got thru the seams at all

I work out doors most of the time. Where I live we get 40 degree temperatures swings that can bring a blizzard, or frozen rain and snow. This jacket has handled everything nature can throw at it..It drys quickly and always looks good in any occasion.. I've had the pleasure of buying North Face gear for 30 yrs, every product I've used performed above expectations..From everyday at work to camping and hunting on vacation my North Face gear works!!!

Great for camping and for those long NYC winters !!! Super light weight but super warm

Love the color options. 2nd one I own. Fits perfectly

If your looking to stay warm in cold weather, this is definitely the jacket for you! Its the thickest "Puffy" jacket you can get w/ a 700 fill of goose down that will keep you the warmest on the coldest days. I personally love the retro look bringing back the late 80's to mid 90's style. Couldn't be pleased more with this jacket and I recommend to anyone!

I love this coat ever since 1996 when I had my yellow one but this trip color is something special I'm looking for one for my 4 yr old so we can match ;-)

I use this for stylish but warm purposes

I wear it everyday when it's cold,raining,snowing

Love the jacket! Super comfy and warm!
