The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket

The Original. In Purple.

The The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket in Electric Purple is the reissue of the jacket that started everything — the original boxy, hip-length Nuptse silhouette faithfully reproduced in a bold Electric Purple and black colourway. Large horizontal baffles, high-fill-power down insulation, the TNF chest logo on the black upper yoke, elasticated cuffs, and the official TNF carry bag make this the complete Nuptse experience in one of the most eye-catching colourways in the 1996 Retro lineup. The Nuptse. Unmistakable in purple.

Key Features

• Electric Purple & Black Colourblock – A vivid Electric Purple lower body with a black upper yoke and stand collar — a bold, high-impact colourway that makes the 1996 Nuptse silhouette impossible to miss and gives this version its own distinct identity within the Retro lineup
• Original 1996 Nuptse Silhouette – The boxy, oversized, hip-length Nuptse cut reproduced faithfully from the 1996 original — the silhouette that defined a generation of outerwear and remains the standard by which every down jacket is measured
• TNF Chest Logo on Black Yoke – The embroidered The North Face box logo on the black upper yoke — white on black, at the exact placement of the 1996 original, the brand mark that confirms this is the genuine Retro Nuptse
• High-Fill-Power Down Insulation – Premium high-fill-power down throughout the full baffle body delivers genuine expedition-grade warmth — the insulation standard that made the original Nuptse a trusted mountain piece before it became a cultural icon
• Large Horizontal Baffle Construction – The Nuptse’s signature large horizontal baffles distribute down fill evenly across the jacket body for consistent all-over warmth — the baffle construction that is as much a design signature as a technical feature
• Official TNF Carry Bag – Comes with the official The North Face black carry bag — the product packaging that confirms authenticity and makes this the complete, brand-new Nuptse experience from first unboxing
• Zip Hand Pockets – Clean zip-secure hand pockets at the hip provide secure everyday storage — functional and unfussy, exactly as the original Nuptse always has been
• Elasticated Cuffs & Hem – Elasticated cuffs and hem seal in warmth at the jacket’s openings and give the Nuptse its signature defined, hip-length silhouette

Electric Purple. Black upper. 1996 Nuptse silhouette — The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket is the original that never goes unnoticed.
