Product Information

Full details

The North Face Nuptse 1996 Jacket is an iconic, boxy-fit puffer designed for adults who need reliable warmth in cold urban or outdoor environments. Its primary benefit is the exceptional heat retention provided by 700-fill goose down, though its bulky silhouette may not suit those looking for a slim, athletic-fitting layer for high-intensity activities.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light snow or drizzle, but it is not a fully waterproof garment.

Can I put this in the washing machine?

Yes, it is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent recommended for down items.

What does 700-fill power mean?

It indicates the quality and loft of the down; 700-fill is a high-performance standard that provides excellent insulation and heat retention.

How should the jacket fit?

The Nuptse 1996 has a signature boxy, slightly oversized fit. It is designed to accommodate layers underneath.

Where is the hood stored?

The hood is designed to be packed into the high collar and secured with a zipper.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers poking through fabric

This is normal for down jackets. Gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it out.

Jacket feels less warm over time

The down may have clumped. Follow the washing and low-heat tumble dry instructions to redistribute the insulation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-loft warmth suitable for freezing temperatures
  • Durable, water-repellent shell material
  • Classic, timeless style
  • Practical stowable hood design

Cons

  • Boxy fit may be too loose for some wearers
  • Not intended for heavy rain or wet conditions
  • Requires specific care for down insulation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep the down insulation performing at its best, avoid compression for long periods when storing the jacket. When cleaning, the jacket is machine washable, but always consult the internal care tag to ensure the use of mild detergents that do not strip the water-repellent treatment. Periodically check the zippers for debris to ensure smooth operation. To maintain the loft of the down after washing, consider tumble drying on low heat with clean tennis balls to help fluff the insulation back up.
