Customer Reviews The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket

It would be great to include some slimmer sizes. All the major brands address the husky category but tend to neglect the other side of the spectrum. I was close to getting the female cut but then it was too short.

Been wearing these jackets since middle school (14 years) in NYC, perfect for extreme cold/snowy/rainy weather but the material is super fragile/cheap. be careful when walking near a wall or door because this jacket WILL tear if there's a tiny nail sticking out or even dry peeling paint. i've torn a few of mine. besides being fragile, this jacket is amazing. its light, so when you get a bit hot you can unzip it and keep it on or carry it with no problem. it's stylish of course and really keeps you warm. i've worn this jacket in 10F / -12C weather here in NY and didnt wear a sweater underneath and I was still warm! i especially love how it covers your neck! I'd recommend this jacket but just be careful walking next to walls or doors. PS: washing these jackets is a complex and nerve-racking process.

Decent classic TNF jacket, medium size fit me well 5'11 165lbs. I expected puffiness from a puffer but this jacket definitely takes it to the next level. It is much more bulky than I imagined and sometimes make it difficult to layer any hoodies or insulated jackets inside. Zipper does feel sturdier than some other jackets I have owned in the past.

This jacket is amazing. Best cold weather jacket out there. BUT this year, the colors are terrible. I get having a few retro vibrant palettes but the rest are bad. Bring back arrowwood yellow!

Was too big so I had to return and get the Medium.

good jacket

It's a great jacket but they run a little big and over priced!!!

Too short

good materials, very comfortable but a bit expensive

I had to get it exchange because of the whole in the sleeve. They are shipping a new one but it's taking a long time they said within 3-5 business days

This is a great winter coat but if your arm length is a 36-37 a 2X is not long enough and a 3X is entirely too big. For Skinny tall guys this is not a good purchase.

Got compliments a lot but after I wash it .it deflated

I didn't care for the fit but nice material and warm. I returned it.

The best thing about this jacket is that it keeps you warm. I just wish it was a bit longer.

i got a medium in men's, because it was sold out in women's, so if your a girl getting this jacket i definitely recommend getting it in one or two sizes smaller!

What's great about this product is that it keeps you warm but the backside of the jacket is too wide and looks really big from the backside view.

I love the warmth but I received it with a hole in the color. It's a very minor hole but I didn't expect that so that was a let down. Other than that, I love the jacket.

The "recycled tnf black" nupste has gone down quality wise compared to the other black nupste I had. This one feels much lighter, not as puffy and still at the same price point. Disappointing to say the least

It is a nice jacket, but the model shots don't reflect the actual fit of the arms. They are MUCH baggier in real life. I am 6' tall 180lbs and the arms made the jacket look really weird on me. They seem less "puffy" and wide online.

Would be a good jacket if you like the boxy fit look.

I bought this jacket for my son , he loved the jacket , it kept him warm and was very comfortable. But the first time he wore it , there were these little loop snap things on the bottom of the sleeve by the wrist that just broke . I sent an email to North face , they said i had to send it back to be inspected. That would of left my son without a jacket in this cold winter . I was very upset because it had a big price tag and all i wanted was to exchange it . I would never recommend this product to anyone . Me and my son very disappointed in the quality of this jacket and the customer service.

Casual wear. Coat quickly got a tear. Feathers/filling keep leaking out

I have a lean frame so this was probably not the best choice. It was way too puffy. The hood also does nothing to stop even the lightest drizzle. I'd say choose something else.

i am always a womens medium and the mens medium fit like a womens would. same thing for the size large.

The retro fit is shorter and wider for someone as tall and slender as me but a stylish option.
