Customer Reviews The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket

I love how this jacket looks and always love a good chunky down. It's extremely warm, a bit on the heavier side. I like shorter jackets, it could be a bit longer. Overall, great coat.

I use this when it gets the coldest to keep me warm

This jacket is so cute and super comfy. I am very top-heavy and this jacket did not squish my chest like other jackets typically do. The jacket is relaxed fit so I was able to get my regular size vs. going a size up because I need extra room for thick sweaters and hoodies. I was so happy with my purchase I decided to buy another Nuptse jacket but this time in the hero purple color.

This jacket is everything I was looking for. It keeps me warm and its so comfortable and lightweight! Its my favorite. BUT I don't care what the labels on the jacket say, do not wash it. Your lovely jacket will be ruined.

This coat is so cute. It's stylish and very warm. I tried this on with a tank top and I started to sweat, that's how warm this coat is. You have to get this also the hood is in the collars of the coat so you don't have to physically take off the hood. And if you have long arms like me this is perfect for you.

I'm 6"0 with an athletic build and I love this jacket. It's oversized and very puffy, but is super cute when you cinch the waist and wear with tight athletic pants. The only feedback I would give is that the hood that ticks away is attached with Velcro and catch on long hair. Other than that it's a warm option for the oversized puffy look!

A beautifully warm jacket for those of us that live in harsh winters. I am 5'7, 132 lbs and have a 36" bust. I can layer anything under it. It's extremely warm so having layers helps to maintain comfort. My only complaint would be that the hood is only a shell. I have the original NUPTSE and it's hood is fully insulated. Too bad they skimped on that.

This is a warm and comfortable jacket that is stylish.

Very good quality, light weight and beautiful colors.

So warm and so light. I live where the winter days sink into the negatives so staying warm with the right gear is critical. Wearing a layering system like fleece with whatever you choose for a base layer will keep you so warm when temps hit the twenties and below. Having the layers will allow you to pair down when in the car as this jacket gets too warm to drive in for me.

Bought the product because I liked how it looked but was surprised by how warm and weatherproof it was.

Love this product. Highly recommend it.

I'am planning to go Hi king in Vermont.Moving back to the east coast I was looking for a jacket like this one. I can't wait to use it in the snow.I love the quality of this brand.

My daughter loves the retro fit and style. Liked by all her friends.

It was so hard to find a warm jacket in Los Angeles. I finally found this one online. It's perfect for 5am walks in LA but gets too warm later in the day. Used it in the Mountains and I was toasty, didn't really have to put on another layer. I think this is too bulky and hot for hiking but will be perfect for evening fireside hangouts.

I am old enough to have worn the original down jackets that came out in the 70s. I love the throwback boxy, hefty look and feel of this jacket. It's thick and warm--very cozy. The slant pockets with pulldown zippers are authentic and usable. Speaking of zippers, the contrasting sturdy black zippers on the white jacket look fantastic. I also like the zippered interior pocket. The standup collar that houses the fold-away hood (great for unexpected rain) keeps my neck warm without being too snug. A feature I love and haven't found in other jackets is the dual elastic + Velcro adjustable cuffs. I can't say enough good things about this jacket. I only wish it were available in more colors.

I recently got accepted to University of Utah and upon visiting the school last December and not being prepared, this was my first purchase for my upcoming college time

I love this puffy! On some windy winter days in SLC, it's really helped me out. I've also worn it at the crags or the gym and felt fly. It's warm enough for some outdoor days and cool/comfortable enough for around the city.

Awesome product, great in the extreme weather, very dependable.

Love it! So stylish and warm. Perfect for this semi chilly weather in SoCal weather. If you don't like it short or want more coverage of the lower half of your body, this jacket is not for you.

This jacket is great and so stylish

This is the best jacket ever. Wore it in Lake Tahoe and it was perfect and so warm in the snow! It's also trendy nowadays!

This coat is super warm. It is probably the warmest jacket that I own. Highly recommend!

Use it outside bird watching, very warm, lightweight. Ordered xxl too big sent back xl as fine.
