The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket is a modern revival of the iconic 1996 design, featuring a distinctive color-blocked aesthetic with a black upper chest and hood contrasted against a creamy beige body and sleeves. Crafted with high-fill-power down insulation for exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio, it offers premium cold-weather performance while maintaining a sleek, urban silhouette. The jacket includes a full-length front zipper with storm flap, two zippered hand pockets, elasticated cuffs, and an adjustable hem drawcord for a customizable fit. The signature THE NORTH FACE logo is embroidered in white on the left chest over the black panel, reinforcing authenticity.
