A Must Own Jacket!

3 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product as my 1st Northface jacket. As i want to own a quality jacket for the winter season, rather than having too many of them. And this jacket did not dissapoint me at all. It is super lightweight and packable, u can easily take it to your trip without having to worry about it being bulky or heavy. Super warm and i love the whole boxy silhouette of the jacket and its timeless classic design, its very much on trend. Over all i would Recommend for everyone to buy this Nuptse Jacket.

Iconic. TNF is like the Godfather.

The Quality of the 700 nuptse 96 jacket is no doubt the best in terms of warmth, weight, comfort, & look. Iconic.. I got the TNF x Supreme Collab "BLK Studded Nuptse Jacket" Same yet different from the rest.

Material GYALLL ✨! Material!!!

3 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was putting off buying this jacket for a minute because of the price... But due to upcoming travel, I bit the bullet & cashed out!! First, I would like to say the way you can compact this jacket to fit perfectly in your suitcase or bag is amazing!!! When it comes to FIT... I'm an XL is mostly anything... And that's what I purchased... I was able to put a thick hoodie underneath, and it still fit amazing! If you don't plan on wearing a jacket underneath, you can go down a size. The only thing about going down is... the jacket is a bit cropped! The jacket didn't great in the rain and dried quickly, which was great.!! OVERALL... GREAT INVESTMENT PIECE !!

A long time fan of the Nuptse since 1997.

6 years ago

This is the "go to" jacket whenever I don't know what to wear for a moment. Since I bought my first Nuptse in 1997, I was HOOKED. These jackets are soooo comfortable and will warm you nicely, have a relaxed, wide fit and the Nuptse does not restrict your movements in ANY way. Just perfect! I really HATE those slim-fit thingies. Of course I have down jackets from a wide variety of other manufacturers after more than 20 years, but none comes close to the all-round versatility of the (classic, Retro) Nuptse. The only down side I can find: it is not waterproof. In case you expect rain to fall: choose another jacket. Do yourself a favor and buy the Gotham for those occasions :-)

Yes , I recommend this product

Very clever

1 year ago

Good morning, 15 days ago I bought this jacket and actually when I arrived in my country (Argentina) I realized that it is all defective. I have no possibility of returning it since I am in another country. I ask you please if you can resolve this case. I will never buy anything from you again. Please don't send me more advertising. thank you so much.

No, I do not recommend this product
