The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest: Timeless Warmth

​The 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest is an icon reborn. With its signature oversized baffles and boxy fit, it brings back the legendary style of the original while offering top-tier performance for today. The classic TNF Black colorway is a versatile staple, perfect for any wardrobe. ​This vest isn't just about looks-it's built for warmth. Filled with high-loft recycled down, it provides exceptional core insulation, making it the perfect layer for cold days. The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish sheds light rain and snow, while the stowable hood in the collar adds extra protection when you need it. ​True to its heritage, the vest has a spacious fit that's ideal for layering. Zippered hand pockets and an internal pocket keep your essentials secure. Best of all, it's highly packable, stuffing into its own pocket for easy travel. ​The 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest is the perfect blend of retro style, modern sustainability, and proven performance. It's a statement piece that will never go out of style

Best Light Weight Investment I've Made!!

Love the warmth this vest provides, at first it seems kinda big to bring along, but it folds down to a fairly compact size that you can pack it in your backpack or purse.
