The North Face Nuptse 1996 Jacket - Grey - XXL

The 700-fill goose down provides excellent insulation, offering significant warmth without adding much weight to the jacket.

The jacket features water-repellent ripstop fabric, which is suitable for light rain or snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer would be more appropriate.

Refer to the model's measurements (6'0" with a 39" chest wearing a size M) and general sizing charts. The product description specifies this guide is for size XXL.

The hood is stowable, meaning it can be neatly packed away within the collar when not in use, but it is not fully removable.

Ripstop fabric is a weaving technique designed to make fabric resistant to tearing and ripping. It uses a special reinforcing weave that makes it more durable.

While designed for men, the sizing and fit might be adaptable for women depending on their desired fit and measurements. However, it is specifically marketed as a men's jacket.

'JD-exclusive' means this particular colorway or version of the jacket is only available through JD Sports retailers.

This is common with down insulation. Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The action of the balls helps to break up clumps of down and restore its loft and warmth.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off over time. Consider using a wash-in or spray-on water repellent specifically designed for outdoor apparel to restore its water-resistant properties.

Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. You can use a graphite pencil tip or a wax-based lubricant (like a candle or lip balm) to gently lubricate the zipper teeth.
