Customer Reviews The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket

This is a cute jacket but only if you have tiny arms otherwise you will look like a quarterback

The jacket is very expensive.

I love this jacket. It is well insulated, warm, sewn well, but every single drop of water stains the outer shell, and since it is down, it is a pain to wash and dry. In fact washing and drying will get rid of some stains, but will cause new ones to appear. I am too obsessive to own a jacket like this. Again, I love it. I wear it, but I fixate on the stains. Wash your hands, new stain. Dribble water when drinking water, another stain. Caught in a light rain, stains galore. At some point, I have to let the fixate go, but for the amount of money the jacket costs, it is really disappointing how easily water stains it.

Keep me warm!

This jacket was bought from my credit card by some underground Chinese resell warehouse in Seattle. I would assume the FBI is building a case against them because I'm not the first person or even the 100th person that this has happened to. So they got the jacket. And I had to deal with my bank for hours with this fraudulent transaction and getting a new card. W-L. I'm putting this review in the hopes that Northface will increase security for transactions.

Very warm which is of main importance to me. Disappointed that it came pre-punctured on the chest (incredibly small hole that I have repaired with a piece of patch-tape to keep feathers from coming out.) If I did not work outside in inclement weather full-time, I would have taken the time to return for a non-damaged one but did not have the luxury of such time to do so. Otherwise, incredibly warm coat and very sharp looking.

Seems like a couple of feathers are coming out of the coat after three wears..not the same quality as previous coat.

Really disappointed with the quality of the this jacket for the price point

Overpriced

I wear it to casual places

I feel like I can only give a partial review as I've only had the jacket for a couple of weeks and it's not cold enough to wear and give a true review. I love the look and style of the jacket and it does seem well-made. Time will tell when winter comes to see if it's warm enough.

The feathers leak out of the jacket. Didn't seem like it was filled enough. Not really happy with the quality for the price point

was too small, pocket openings are oddly placed too far back to be comfortable, priced high for such a small jacket. I've bought full length N.Face coats for the same price.

Isn't as warm as I thought it would be and the hood looks and feels very cheap, it's very thin.

It makes look big

I bought the jacket because of the color. But the material is not so great. Thread coming off. The jacket did not keep me warm.

I wouldn't buy this jacket again, luckily for me i got it at a steep discount. however i am 5'2' female and 165 lbs. i wear a large consistently in everything, in every brand. I am a classic hourglass shape. This jacket is quite short on the torso even on me and when you're talking about a coat for winter it is not ideal to have a coat THAT short. However because i am so short the cut is figure flattering on my hourglass shape so i wear this jacket as a "going out and looking cute" jacket. however don't buy this if you're looking for a jacket for hard core cold outdoor weather. it will keep you warm standing outside for a cigarette and to get you from A to B but it is definitely a fashion coat. When i know i am going to spend a lot of time outdoors i grab for my other coat.

I wanted to love this one but it just didn't look right on me

It's warm and comfortable but very puffy

Not the color I expected needed a brighter blue for the body of the coat

I want to love this so badly! I ordered a Large because other puffers I own from North Face in a Medium are too tight on my arms now. The torso part of the jacket fits perfectly but the arms are HUGE! Like you can grab a whole wad of puffer material underneath my arms around the armpit and tricep/bicep area. Can't decide if I'm going to return or keep as I want to get an opinion from some friends first. Bummed!

I use it in NYC. It's good for late fall, but not warm enough without a layer for NE winters. Also, the women's large and men's small seem to be mostly the same size. Wish the women's large didn't have such wide shoulders.

The color was a slalom orange. Did nit care for it. Will return.
