Customer Reviews The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket

Not good as the same jackets that I had two years ago. It is too soft, very wide in the bottom.

This is beautiful coat. Fits true to size which is problem for tall people. My 6'3 son was so excited to use his Christmas money to buy this coat. Just arrived and he's already out the door to return. Too short in the waist and arms. He needs an xl tall and TNF doesn't offer this coat in tall sizes. What a shame. When he raises his arms the sleeves go half way up his forearm. The waist sits too high even for a coat intended to sit at the waist. He hated to return but the sizing just wasn't practical. Bummer.

The shoulder to waist length makes no sense, and there isn't a tall option

Odd shape to the jackettoo short, too wide! Even the smaller size was too short and barely comes to the waistlinejust an odd square cut!

E2E TEST Review

Within a year of use there are little holes that are all over the jacket which is very dissapointing

Very puffy. Cool colors but we opted to return

This jacket is nice, but I have to return it. Purchased a medium for my 6'2" 160lb son and it is far too short in length, doesn't even reach his waist. Large will be too large everywhere else, so will be picking a different jacket. Would be perfect for someone shorter.

Too small had to return both jackets

I brought this jacket for both of my son's this Christmas. I brought black/large for my 19 year old standing at 6' 2in with a slim built and the brick/xlarge color for my 26 year old standing at 6' 4in with a slim built. The large fix my 19 year old well but the xlarge on my 26 year old did not. The body was short, the sleeves were too short it was just all around bad. Northface should think about making their garments with tall slim people in mind. My son and I will be returning this item in store so he can try on the xxlarge before getting my money back.

I've been wanting this jacket for a while. I asked for it for Christmas and was disappointed from the moment I tried it on. This is not a winter coat. It does not keep me warm and winter has only just begun. What's the point of a big puffer if it will hardly keep you cozy in the cold months? This will be more of a spring/fall jacket. I live in the Northeast and grew up wearing North Face. This is not what I remember of their products. This is a fashion puffer if anything. Don't buy this if you're looking for a warm winter coat. I should have known when I saw all the celebrity North Face campaigns this year. This is something for an LA winter, not a New England one.

The jacket is extremely short and the color on the jacket doesn't look like the one in the photos.

Got whole black, not worth the money, too bulky no attention to details whatsoever just buiild and sell kind of attitude, i wanted to make it my main jacket for winter but it`s not happening..

So I've been wanting to get one of these jackets for years for the winter time. I love puffy/puffer jacket during this season. So I convinced my mother to buy me one for my birthday. The jacket is very flat as flat as a pancake. Also doesn't keep me as warm as I thought it would. After purchasing it, it seems more for the fall season. I'm still disappointed

The sizing for this jacket is very confusing, Id suggest definitely trying it in store first. I am 6ft tall and weight about 145 Lbs. I ordered a Large and a medium. Both were way too short so I tried the XL and it was the right length but way too poofy on the sides. It sucks because I really wanted this jacket but it looked too short on me because I like an oversized fit aswell. Its a nice jacket though.

For almost $300 I was expecting puff like it should be and this was not even close. The picture online is misleading because it's looks very puffy me insulated but once it arrives in the mail it's flat. My suggestion is to buy it in store because you won't get what you paid for online.

Girlfriend got me the all burgundy one. I've worn this coat 3x and theres stains all. Theresstaining on the collar and staining on the pocket. I shouldn't be taking a coat thats been worn 3x to the cleaners already.... I absolutely hate this coat

I was disappointed with my purchase. I wore the jacket to a barbecue and it got stained by the smoke. When I washed it in the washing machine, it faded and the filling came apart. I went to the store to exchange it and they told me that the quality policy is on the website. It cannot be washed. Very, very sad and disappointing.

Jacket was warm but what is disappointing is we could not get a stain out of it no matter what we tried. So much money down the drain.

Quality issue

I purchased my North Face jacket two months ago for over $300, and while the quality and performance of the jacket have been excellent, I was disappointed to discover that the price has dropped significantly since my purchase. It feels frustrating to have paid a premium when a better deal is now available.

Coat does not look like picture It's an orange orange color not a copper color

I brought my son this coat for Christmas (he earned it) it's not warm and has ALREADY Started to lose feathers! It hasn't really puffed up like the sales women said it would I purchased it From the new york location I'm very disappointed that I don't have my receipt to exchange it!

They sent me a completely different item than I ordered...returned. They did handle my return flawlessly though.

The cost is certainly thin. For almost $400, u shouldn't have to wear a hoodie underneath it to stay warm.
