The 1996 Nuptse is The North Face's retro puffer, revived from its mid-90s design with a boxy cut, horizontal baffles and a stowable hood. It packs 700-fill goose down, so it is warm for its weight and compresses small enough to stuff into a pack. It suits cold-city wear and casual winter use better than wet, active days, since the ripstop nylon shell is not fully waterproof. Against lighter packable jackets it trades some bulk for more warmth; against technical shells it gives up weather protection for everyday comfort.
