Is $257 a good price for the Nuptse?

Yes. Retail is about $300 and discounts are rare, so $257 at StockX as of November 4, 2026 is a solid saving. Prices dip further in late winter when stores clear stock.

How does the Nuptse fit?

It is cut relaxed and boxy, so it runs large. Most people take their normal size for layering or size down one for a trimmer fit.

Is the Nuptse warm enough for below freezing?

Yes. The 700-fill down and hood handle freezing city weather well. It is not waterproof, so pair it with a shell in wet snow or rain.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes, on a gentle cycle with down detergent, then tumble dry low with dryer balls to break up clumps. Never dry clean down.

What is the difference between the Nuptse and the 1996 Retro Nuptse?

The 1996 Retro is the current version of the same jacket, with the original boxy cut and shiny ripstop shell. Older Nuptse models are similar in warmth but differ in fabric and fit.

Does it come with a stuff sack?

No separate bag, but the jacket packs into its own pocket. Check the listing for whether the hood is removable on that version.

Our take on the North Face Nuptse puffer

The Nuptse is The North Face's classic 700-fill down puffer, cut boxy and short with a hood and a two-way front zip. It is built for real winter cold and has stayed largely unchanged for decades, which is why it holds value and sells out in popular colors. The best new price is $257 at StockX as of November 4, 2026, with four stores listing it new; that is near the low end of what this jacket typically sells for, since retail is around $300 and discounts are uncommon outside end of season.
