The 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest brings back the boxy shape and oversized baffles of The North Face’s mountain archive. Its recycled-nylon ripstop shell holds 700-fill Responsible Down Standard goose down for high warmth with compact packability.
A three-piece hood stores inside the stand collar, and the exposed VISLON® front zip makes the main opening easy to handle. Zipped hand pockets secure essentials, with the entire vest packing into the right pocket.
A shockcord adjusts the hem when extra coverage is needed. At approximately 545 grams, the relaxed gilet keeps the original Nuptse volume without turning it into a full winter jacket.
