Iconic 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest brings oversized baffles, warm down, and throwback style
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I wear this vest all winter—it’s the perfect balance of warmth and mobility. The oversized baffles feel cozy without restricting movement, and the packable design means I can stash it in a bag on road trips. The retro look is awesome, but the real win is the 700-fill down that keeps me warm on frigid mornings."
We slip into The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest when we want classic ‘90s style paired with functional warmth. The iconic oversized baffles, shiny ripstop shell, and relaxed fit honor the original while delivering modern durability. With Responsible Down Standard–certified goose down insulation and a water-repellent finish, this vest defends against chilly mornings, light snow, and frosty commutes with ease.
A stowable hood tucks neatly into the collar, zippered hand pockets keep our essentials close, and an adjustable hem locks in heat when the wind picks up. The whole vest even packs into its own pocket for easy travel. Whether we’re layering it over a hoodie around town or taking it on a mountain getaway, the Nuptse remains a cold-weather staple we reach for again and again.

I liked it so much I bought two!
I bought this vest for my daughter who has worn it every day since. Stylish, well made, and reasonably priced. I even bought a matching vest for myself!

Love this vest! Typically wear a medium, but sized up to wear a heavy sweatshirt underneath. Lots of compliments on the green color.
