Customer Reviews The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket

My daughter wanted this for a grad gift. Finally bought with a 10% discount and it was still a lot of money for me (Hence the 4 stars). It looks fab and will keep her extra warm in Ireland when she goes off to college!

It was a high school graduation gift to my granddaughter who was accepted to a college in rainy, cold state. She was thrilled as she lives in California.

This jacket was sold out for the longest time. I purchased the small and fits great with a sweater underneath. The quality is not how it used to be. The texture and quality is okay. Cute jacket and I gave it to my teenage daughter.

Just love it! Warm, fun!

I love this jacket, but for the price the hood is crap. Use the hood in light rain or snow. In moderate to heavy precipitation the water seeps through the material. No bueno.

Testing Reviews

I ordered a medium and I feel as if it runs a bit big but it's nice and warm and tightening the wrist straps made it more snug. Although, as soon as I took it out of the packaging a few feathers were poking out and falling so that was a little concerning. I do really like the hidden hood feature, especially with how it's kind of lined with wire for better structure.

It's warm and comfortable with stand the test of time classic vs trendy. Would love to see full puffer hood connected vs small one tucked into neck.

I loved the jacket. I used it for casual wear, and it was very warm and poofy. However, even before I could do my first laundry, within 2 and half weeks I lost it. I do wish the hood was built better. It completely covers my eyes no matter how I adjust it.

Used it everyday, but it is very pricey and there's stains that I cant get rid of

I love the jacket, it's very warm and comfy

Love this jacket. Super cute, fits great. Warm!

I've been wearing this jacket in all temps in the New Hampshire/VT winter we've been having. It's perfectly warm when I have at least 2 layers under it or when I'm walking around campus but lots of cold air/wind gets in through the zipper when I'm riding my electric scooter or just have a t-shirt under it. This happens even though there's a little insulating strip on the inside right under the right zipper. I'm little disappointed. The jacket is beautiful and was supposed to be my new all winter multi-purpose coat for the next 4 years at college but I'm bummed about the wind getting in. The tuck away hood is ingenious and the material is durable and water repellent. Love how puffy and soft/smooth the material is, too. Just bummed about the wind getting anytime it's between 10 and 30 degrees.

I bought two north face jackets my daughters are very satisfied with the product

Warm coat with lots of style . White logo making me proud to wear a Northface. Getting ready for the cold winter air . The outdoor adventures awaits !!

This is such a warm but stylish winter jacket. I love the two toned look and color schemes. It keeps me warm in the cold winter months. I recommend ordering a size up, especially if you want to layer.

Nice fit good quality

My God daughter loves her jacket! It keeps her warm when she's catching the subway during her commute to school. It also keeps her New York City fashionable.

My granddaughter absolutely loves her "1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket"! It was on her wish list and we made it possible for her wish to come to fruition

This jacket is a must. It is cute and warm. It has become my go to jacket when it's still cold as New England winters can be but I don't want or need to wear my heavy coat.

I was hacked. Did not purchase this.

Great quality and keeps you warm. Medium was a lil big but I know if I got small it would be too small.

Excellent quality and fit to the size. The price is somehow over compare to the market.

This is the perfect jacket when temperatures start to drop. I wear it casually with jeans or sweats on the weekend or apre ski and over my business casual attire going to work. It's the perfect weight and length.

Got it as a gift for my wife. She loves it. Says its warm and comfy.
