THE NORTH FACE
MENS 1996 retro Nupste vest recycled TNF Black
nspired by the legendary 1996 design, the Men’s 1996 Nuptse Down Gilet delivers iconic retro styling with serious cold-weather performance. Built with the same bold aesthetic that made the original a street and mountain staple, this updated version blends heritage design with modern sustainability.
Crafted from original shiny recycled nylon ripstop, the gilet features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish to help keep you dry in light conditions. Oversized baffles are packed with 700 fill goose down, certified to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) by Control Union, providing exceptional warmth while remaining highly compressible.
Designed in a relaxed, boxy silhouette, this piece layers effortlessly over hoodies and knits for everyday wear. Functional details include a stowable hood that packs into the collar, an exposed VISLON® centre-front zip, secure-zip hand pockets, and a bungee cinch at the hem for adjustable warmth retention. For added convenience, the gilet can be packed into its own right-hand pocket—ideal for travel or changing conditions.
Finished with embroidered branding at the left chest and back-right shoulder, this Nuptse gilet is a timeless outerwear essential.
