Product Information

Full details

The North Face 1996 Nuptse Windproof Puffer Jacket is an ideal choice for active kids who need reliable warmth and retro style for winter outdoor play. It offers exceptional heat retention through high-quality 700-fill down insulation and a water-repellent shell to keep the cold and moisture at bay; however, its signature boxy silhouette may feel bulky for children who prefer a more streamlined, slim-fit layer.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It features a water-repellent finish that protects against light snow and rain, but it is not fully seam-sealed waterproof gear.

How should I wash this jacket?

Wash in a front-loading machine on a gentle cycle using a specialized down cleaner, then tumble dry low with tennis balls.

Can the hood be removed?

The hood is designed to be stowed away inside the collar rather than fully removed.

Is the fit true to size?

It features a traditional boxy fit, so it runs slightly wider than modern slim-fit jackets to allow for layering.

What age group is this jacket designed for?

This specific range is designed for older children and kids.

Does it have internal pockets?

It includes external zippered pockets for security; internal pocket configurations vary by specific model year.

Troubleshooting

Down insulation feels flat or clumped

Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with clean tennis balls to redistribute and loft the down.

Water no longer beads off the surface

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need refreshing; use a technical fabric spray-on treatment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior warmth-to-weight ratio from 700-fill insulation
  • Durable, windproof, and water-repellent nylon construction
  • Packable design makes it easy to stow in a backpack
  • Classic aesthetic suitable for both rugged trails and daily school wear

Cons

  • Boxy fit may be too loose for children preferring athletic fits
  • Requires specialized care when cleaning to maintain down loft
  • Light colours may show dirt more easily during active play

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The jacket comes ready to wear straight out of the package. To maintain the 700-fill insulation and water-repellent coating, always follow the care label located inside the garment. We recommend washing in a front-loading machine with a mild detergent designed for down garments. Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls in the dryer to help re-fluff the down chambers after washing. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent finish on the nylon shell.
