The North Face Nuptse 1996 Jacket - Grey - M

The 700-fill rating indicates high-quality goose down that provides excellent warmth while remaining lightweight and compressible, making the jacket comfortable and easy to pack.

The jacket features water-repellent ripstop fabric, which is effective against light rain and snow. For prolonged or heavy rainfall, additional waterproof outerwear is recommended.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat. It's recommended to add a few clean tennis balls during drying to help restore the down's loft. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Yes, the jacket features adjustable hems, allowing you to cinch them for a closer fit and to prevent cold air from entering.

Nuptse is a mountain in the Himalayas. The '1996' likely refers to a revival or an iteration of a classic design from that year, known for its iconic puffer style.

It's best to store the jacket loosely or hanging, rather than compressed in a stuff sack, to maintain the loft and insulating properties of the down for longer.

The jacket is made from 100% Recycled Nylon ripstop fabric.

Ensure the down insulation has not become compressed or wet. If wet, dry thoroughly according to care instructions. If compressed, try tumble drying on low with tennis balls. Check that zippers and hems are sealed to prevent drafts.

The water-repellent treatment may wear off over time. Consider using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) refresher spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Always wash the jacket before applying a new treatment.

Minor feather leakage can occur with down products. If you notice a few feathers, gently pull them back into the seam from the opposite side rather than pulling them all the way out. Excessive leakage may indicate a seam issue.
