Product Information

Full details

The North Face Nuptse 1996 Jacket is an iconic, boxy-fit puffer coat designed for individuals seeking reliable warmth in cold, wintry conditions. Featuring high-loft 700-fill goose down and a durable, water-repellent recycled nylon ripstop shell, it serves as a versatile outer layer for urban commuting or light outdoor activities. While its superior insulation provides excellent heat retention, the boxy, oversized cut may feel bulky compared to modern, slim-fit technical mid-layers.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the hood waterproof?

The hood is water-repellent, meaning it sheds light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy rain.

How should I wash this jacket?

Use a gentle, cold wash cycle with a down-safe detergent and tumble dry on low with dryer balls.

Does it fit true to size?

The 1996 Nuptse has a boxy, slightly oversized fit; if you prefer a slimmer profile, consider sizing down.

Can I pack this into its own pocket?

Yes, this model is designed to be highly packable and often stores into one of its own pockets.

What is the insulation made of?

It features 700-fill power goose down, which is highly efficient at trapping heat.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers leaking through fabric

This is common with new down garments. Gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside and rub the fabric to reseal the tiny exit hole.

Jacket feels flat after storage

Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with dryer balls for 15-20 minutes to restore the loft and expand the down.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High-performance 700-fill down insulation
Durable recycled ripstop nylon construction
Versatile stowable hood design
Iconic, timeless aesthetic
Water-repellent finish for light precipitation

Cons

Boxy fit may be too large for some users
Not intended for heavy, prolonged rain exposure
Bulky storage footprint compared to synthetic alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket maintains its loft and longevity, follow these care guidelines:

Machine Wash: Use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with a mild down-specific detergent.
Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down feathers and prevent clumping.
Storage: Avoid storing the jacket in its compressed state for long periods. Hang it in a cool, dry place to allow the down to maintain its loft.
Compatibility: The boxy fit allows for mid-weight sweaters or hoodies to be worn underneath comfortably, making it an excellent top layer for varied cold-weather outfits.
