The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest Recycled

Our Nuptse is named after Everest's mighty neighbour. Our classic Nuptse products from the 1990s were the first to use an innovative chamber construction that minimised down shifting and guaranteed the wearer lasting warmth. The 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Vest is the reincarnation of the icon. We've kept most of the same: the same boxy silhouette, the same shiny ripstop fabric, the same exposed zip and slanted pockets - and of course the same oversized chambers. The only changes are improvements like the responsibly sourced 700-fill-power down and the water-repellent finish. The hood can be stowed in the collar. The entire gilet can be packed up and stowed in the right-hand pocket. And thanks to recycled materials, this gilet is also environmentally friendly.
