The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket — Earth Map Print

Retro Nuptse Silhouette. All-Over Earth Map Print. Contrast Yoke.

The The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Earth Map Print is one of the most visually striking releases in The North Face’s archive-driven lineup — the iconic Nuptse silhouette in a limited all-over satellite/earth map print, with the classic black contrast yoke and collar, The North Face chest logo, snap-close hand pockets, and the full baffled construction of the original 1996 Nuptse. The earth map print wraps across the entire body and sleeves, making every panel a different section of the globe — the most collectible and conversation-starting print in the Nuptse’s modern reissue history.

Key Features

• All-Over Satellite Earth Map Print – A full all-over satellite/earth map print across the entire jacket body and sleeves — the defining detail of this Nuptse release, rendering continents, ocean formations, cloud patterns, and topographic data across every panel in a way that makes each jacket visually unique depending on size and cut placement, the most collectible print in the modern Nuptse reissue lineup
• 1996 Retro Nuptse Silhouette – The original 1996 Nuptse boxy, cropped silhouette reissued in its authentic proportions — the short, wide, structured cut that defined the Nuptse as a cultural icon and distinguishes it from every other The North Face down jacket, worn oversized for a statement fit or true-to-size for the original boxy profile
• Black Contrast Yoke and Stand Collar – The classic black contrast yoke panel and stand collar — the two-tone construction detail that has defined the Nuptse’s appearance since 1992, providing a clean, structured collar and a bold contrast top panel that anchors the all-over earth map print across the lower body and sleeves
• The North Face Chest Logo – The North Face half-dome wordmark logo embroidered on the chest — the brand’s signature logo placement confirming authenticity on the Nuptse’s most prominent front panel, rendered in tonal or contrast placement consistent with the jacket’s print colourway
• Snap-Close Hand Pockets – Snap-close hand pockets on the lower front body — the Nuptse’s original hardware-led pocket closure that has been retained across every reissue, providing clean, functional hand storage in the format that keeps the jacket’s front silhouette as uncluttered as possible
• 700-Fill Down Insulation – 700-fill premium down insulation throughout the full baffled Nuptse body — the insulation specification that has made the Nuptse the benchmark for packable, genuine down warmth since its original 1992 release, delivering serious cold-weather performance in the Nuptse’s compact, cropped format
• Packable Design – Packs into its own pocket or a compact stuff sack — the Nuptse’s original packable construction retained in the retro reissue, delivering full down warmth in a format that compresses and travels without bulk when not in use

Earth map print. Retro silhouette. Contrast yoke. — The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse in Earth Map Print is the jacket that makes the globe wearable and the Nuptse’s archive status impossible to ignore.
