1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket

$380.00

The North Face

The North Face Women's 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket is a cold-weather favourite. Filled with responsibly sourced 700-fill down insulation, it gives cosy warmth. The regular fit and boxy silhouette make it easy to layer over a hoody. The stand-up collar and adjustable cuffs help seal out draughts. The shiny ripstop fabric, oversized baffles, and logo details pay homage to The North Face's original Nuptse Jacket. Recycled materials and PFC-free water-repellent finish bring things up to date. There's a hood hidden in the collar, and you can stow the whole jacket into the hand pocket. An internal zipped pocket offers extra secure storage.
