Customer Reviews The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket

I normally wear small size and I ordered a small size but it was big for me. Other than that the jacket is warm and perfect for winters.

I'm 5' 4" with a small size 2 upper body. Ordered size small. The sleeve length was very long and just too puffy in the shoulders. I know it is the look and style, but just looked awkward on me. Very sad that I had to return.

I own a previous version of the Nuptse jacket and after many years and many patch jobs, I still have it and still love it. It was time to buy a new one and unfortunately this version just didn't meet my needs. The hood mechanism is poorly designed and does not stay folded and the standup collar does not have a fleece lining like my previous jacket. Along with these two issues, it was just too big. I love The North Face brand so it was disappointing that this did not work for me. I would still recommend the product.

This jacket is very short. It's very puffy. I felt like a stuffed chair! I had to return it.

The misty pink color is pretty but the jacket is too puffy and doesnt have a nice fit

Weird fit

I purchased this coat for my teenage daughter. The zipper broke. She got 1 winter out of it. For the price this shouldn't have happened. I normally don't leave reviews. For this price point...I am.

Not a puffy jacket at all. Extremely thin. I bought a better jacket at the outlets.. total rip off.

I really like the coat but it's clearly not warm enough for winter. I'll have to buy another coat for cold weather.

This coat is bulky and stiff. And the hood is comical. The color is fun and it's well made, just doesn't look very good on.

Bought for our 14yr old, who is a size small. However, this jacket in a small, will not accommodate all the baggy sweatshirts teens prefer to wear 24-7. Def size up for teens.

Nice quality jacket but hated how cropped and small it felt. I went with the mens version instead.

Goose feather already coming out and I've not had for long. Keeping an eye on it as this is unusual for Northface for the feathers to be coming out so quickly and I've not had this for that long. I had another jacket, similar to this style that didn't have the hood attached and never had any feathers coming out till years later. What's going on here? Why am I already seeing feathers coming out? Thankfully it was just 1 but you charge a lot for these jackets and are normally good quality so I don't mind paying that amount but shouldn't be shedding feathers less than 1 month of having it.

Cropped! This jacket would be great, but the length is cropped. I am 5"3 and it was very short on me, I'm sure it would be even shorter for a taller person. Wouldn't recommend.

A little to short and too poofy. Need to make it to mall to exchange or return.

I was so excited for this jacket (the light blue), but when it came it looked almost like it had grease stains. When I called, they told me it was supposed to have marks to imitate a waterfall, but it was not what I wanted or expected.

Really big other than that I can't wait to wear it come winter months

This jacket lets cold air down at the lower back because it is a couple inches too short. I am only 5 foot 7. So you need to be shorter than that to wear this coat. I wish the copper was in xxl or plus sizes. Maybe it came in that, but not by the time I was looking to buy a coat. Also I wish it had a zipper placket cover that snaps in case I don't want to zip the jacket. (Do not like Velcro - although this coat had neither). I liked many things about the coat, but just couldn't deal with it being too short.

The jacket is very warm and comfortable, but unfortunately the quality is very poor! This is what happened after washing... After washing, the jacket will have to be thrown away!

Definitely not worth the price at all. This is more of a fall jacket and not for the winter. Does not keep me warm as I thought it would.

This is not the 1996 jacket I remember. Too thin and I returned the jacket not worth it.

The jacket is beautiful and well made. The problem is that I had to order it twice. Both times this jacket was lost/misplaced/stolen by OnTrac. Each time I had to wait about 9 days before NF could credit me. Finally the third time I just had them send it to me on the west coast and I paid out of my pocket to send the jacket to my daughter in NY. I don't understand why NF is continuing to do business with OnTrac. Terrible service but the jackets are nice. Next time I'll just buy another brand because I don't want to go thru this again.

Thanks to my bf, i got a gift card from him. i wanted to buy this Jacket, but the day after the order, North Face wrote a letter that the jacket was out of stock. The funds were debited from the gift card and never returned! For a month now, I have been trying to return the funds to the card or get a new gift card from North Face! a few hours of communication with support, and dozens of emails did not help! now they just don't answer me and don't want to solve the problem! I do not advise you to buy it. if there is a problem due to the website or the availability of the product (even when the website shows that the product is in stock), you will have big problems with a refund!
