The North Face Women’s 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest

Inspired by the iconic 1996 design, the Women’s 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest brings the classic Nuptse aesthetic into a modern, feminine silhouette that remains versatile across seasons and settings.

Constructed from recycled nylon ripstop fabric, it features the signature oversized baffles that define the Nuptse collection. Premium 700-fill power goose down insulation delivers lightweight warmth and high compressibility, while a Non-PFC DWR water-repellent finish adds protection against light moisture.

Designed with a relaxed fit and boxy silhouette, the vest stays true to its heritage roots, incorporating enlarged 1996-style logos, a stowable three-piece hood, and functional details suited for everyday wear.
