The Retro Nuptse is The North Face's revival of its 1996 down puffer: a boxy, horizontal-quilted jacket with 700-fill down, a stowable hood and a ripstop nylon shell. It is built for cold, dry winter days and city wear more than for serious alpine use. Reviewers like its warmth-to-weight and retro look; many say it runs large and the shell is only water-repellent, not fully waterproof. Against lighter packable down jackets it is bulkier and heavier, but it blocks wind and holds heat well.

Owners praise the Retro Nuptse as a genuinely warm, well-made puffer with a distinctive retro look. Common complaints are the oversized fit, the bulk and the shell wetting out in steady rain.
