Product Information

Full details

The North Face 1996 Nuptse 700 Jacket is an iconic choice for adults seeking high-performance warmth and classic streetwear aesthetics. Featuring premium 700-fill down insulation wrapped in a durable nylon shell, this jacket offers exceptional heat retention in cold urban or outdoor environments. While it provides incredible warmth-to-weight performance, its boxy, vintage fit may require careful sizing for those who prefer a more tailored, slim silhouette.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the jacket waterproof?

The nylon shell provides some protection against light rain, but it is not a technical waterproof rain jacket.

How should I store the jacket in summer?

Store it hanging in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry closet to keep the down from compressing.

Does it fit true to size?

The 1996 Nuptse has a retro, boxy fit. Many users prefer their normal size, but you may want to size down if you prefer a slim, modern fit.

Can I wear this while hiking in heavy snow?

While it is warm, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual performance piece. For heavy snow, ensure you have an outer shell layer.

How do I fix a stuck zipper?

Check for fabric caught in the teeth. Gently move the slider back and forth and ensure the track is clear of debris.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels flat or lacks warmth

The down may be clumped after storage. Shake the jacket vigorously or tumble dry on low with dryer balls to restore loft.

Small feathers poking through the fabric

This is common with down garments. Gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it through the fabric.

Pros and Cons

Timeless and versatile design
High-quality construction and materials
Packable design for easy travel

Cons

Boxy fit may be too loose for some users
Not intended for heavy, sustained precipitation
Higher price point compared to standard synthetic jackets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is an insulated down jacket, proper care is essential to maintain the "loft" of the feathers. Avoid leaving the jacket compressed in a small bag for long periods, as this can affect the insulation's ability to trap heat. When cleaning, use a specialized down-safe detergent in a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle. Always tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down back to its original state. Store the jacket hanging in a cool, dry place when not in use for the season.
