Iconic women’s down vest with relaxed boxy fit, heritage Nuptse styling, and reliable core warmth for everyday wear and travel.
The North Face Women’s 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest channels the original alpine design with a modern recycled build that’s easy to throw on over a tee, knit, or hoodie. The body uses a durable recycled nylon ripstop shell with a non-PFC DWR finish to help shed light moisture, while taffeta overlays on the collar and yoke boost durability where you need it most. Oversized baffles are filled with lofty 700-fill recycled down, delivering impressive warmth without feeling heavy and packing down neatly when you’re on the move. A relaxed, boxy silhouette feels casual and comfortable, and the attached three-piece hood tucks into the stand collar so you can keep things clean and low-profile until the weather really rolls in.
