The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest is a iconic heritage piece reissued with authentic detailing. Crafted in premium black ripstop nylon, it features 700-fill goose down insulation for lightweight warmth and packability. The vest showcases the classic box-quilted construction, high collar for neck protection, full-length YKK zipper, and two zippered hand pockets. A small embroidered 'THE NORTH FACE' logo sits on the left chest, while '700' is subtly printed on the lower left hem—signifying fill power. The garment retains its original 1996 silhouette: slightly cropped, relaxed fit ideal for layering over hoodies or shirts. Tag still attached confirms authenticity and includes care instructions. Perfect for urban exploration, casual outings, or transitional weather (fall to early winter), this vest blends vintage outdoor heritage with modern streetwear appeal. Durable, timeless, and highly versatile—equally at home in city streets or mountain trails.
