Our take on the The North Face Retro Nuptse Jacket

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.

  • Boxy cut layers easily over thick midlayers

Cons

Questions and answers

How does the Retro Nuptse fit compared with other North Face jackets?
It fits large and boxy, closer to the original 1996 cut. Most shoppers go down one size from their usual North Face size for a normal fit.
Is the Retro Nuptse warm enough for below-freezing weather?
Yes for dry cold. The 700-fill down and wind-resistant ripstop hold heat well, but add a shell in wet or windy conditions.
Is it waterproof?
No. The nylon shell has a water-repellent finish that handles light snow and drizzle, but seams are not sealed and it will wet out in steady rain.
Can the hood be removed or stowed?
The hood is attached but can be rolled and stowed into the collar. It is not fully detachable.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with down detergent, tumble dry low with dryer balls to restore loft. Avoid fabric softener and high heat.
Is it good for skiing?
It works for resort wear and apres-ski, but it is not a technical ski shell. It lacks a powder skirt and full waterproofing.
