The 1996 Retro Nuptse is The North Face's revival of its mid-90s down puffer: a boxy, oversized-baffle jacket filled with 700-fill goose down. The recycled nylon ripstop shell has a shiny finish and a non-PFC DWR for light moisture, and the three-piece hood stows in the stand collar. It is a warm, packable layer for cold city winters and casual wear rather than a technical shell. Against slimmer puffers it trades a trim profile for roomy layering and the retro look; owners praise the warmth for its weight but often note the boxy cut runs large and the shiny fabric shows wear over time.

Owners rate the Nuptse highly for warmth, light weight and the retro look, and many wear it as a daily winter jacket. The most common complaints are the boxy fit running large and the shiny fabric showing wear or snags.
The 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket is a black puffer with a relaxed, boxy silhouette and oversized baffles. It is insulated with 700-fill goose down, which is lightweight and compressible.
The outer fabric is recycled nylon ripstop with a shiny finish, with reinforced taffeta across the collar and yoke. A non-PFC DWR finish repels light moisture. The three-piece hood stows in the stand collar when not needed.
The cuffs are partly elasticated and have hook-and-loop tabs, and the hem has a shock cord, so the fit can be adjusted. Zip hand pockets hold small items. The jacket packs into its right hand pocket for travel. Embroidered logos sit on the left chest and the back-right shoulder.
