Customer Reviews The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest

Bought this for my boyfriend. He loves it. However I think it's oversized so if you're debating between going a size up or down, I think down. He is a Large normally but the Large for this vest was too big on the bottom.

Correctly described as relaxed fit so OK if you have a gut, but if you are not overweight or you are slim you will have a tub of material around your waste. Avoid this vest if you aren't carrying at least an extra 20 pounds. Too bad too as it's a warm, well made vest.

Fits perfectly! If you live in places where there is "real winter" like Minnesota, Colorado, New York, or Washington you would appreciate the wind resistance and water resistance it has. I also bought a Columbia vest to test out which is better(like every rational consumer out there debating between cost and quality haha). Although the Columbia one is more padded in my opinion, it doesn't help when it's windy or snowing because it's neither water nor wind resistant so thereby that good padding of wall would absorbing the wind and make you feel colder.

Great vest, which keeps me warm in extreme cold temperatures.

great for day and night, i wear it over a sweatshirt, for work and lazy days. The size is good and it fits me perfectly

Everytime I put my 1997 retro vest I get nothing but compliments. It makeas me feel warm. In cold winter days and matches with most of my wardrobe. I love it and I would definitely buy it again

I keep ordering different colors! I love these so much! North Face is Nyc!

Love it the best quality out there top notch

I used to have a similar one in '96 in HS. Decided to get this again when it came out and I'm brought back to my teenage years. Super warm so I recommend this for the fall or winter.

Absolutely love this vest! Have had it in my arsenal since my freshman year in college and worn it in all conditions throughout living in Michigan, Portland, Chicago and LA. I was first gifted this vest in 2005 and it lasted me nearly 20 years (with some patching here and there). Finally had to give in and buy a new one which I look forward to wearing for another 20. This is a timeless, versatile piece that will help keep you warm indoors or out any time of year.

I think that the quality this vest comes in is perfect. The way it sits on your upper body yet still keeping you warm when you need it to always amazes me how they manage to make these.

Gave me great confidence like the style made me happy joyful loved it

Great down vest. Wouldn't buy any other brand. This is my third one, love the colors.

The jacket is so comfortable and comfy

Love the vest. Like all North Face products the construction and materials are top quality.The fit is perfect. This one is white and black and really looks good. I have many North Face outerwear products, and I just keep buying them because they're so good.

I really like this vest. It keeps my core warm. Fits just right. A little puffy but that's OK. I wear it with or without a hoodie underneath.

Awesome Vest! Highly recommend getting it :))

This is the perfect fit, not too bulky and not so thin, providing great warmth.
