The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Orange

The Original Puffer. In Orange.

The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Orange is the icon with the volume turned all the way up — and the only colourway in the Nuptse range that doesn't ask for permission. A deep, high-visibility orange with roots in The North Face's earliest expedition equipment, this is the colour the brand was built in, worn by those who climbed Everest before the Nuptse was a cultural moment. Now reissued on the jacket that became that cultural moment, the orange Nuptse is simultaneously the most historically connected and the most boldly expressive colourway in the entire range.

Why You'll Love It

• 700-Fill Goose Down Insulation: The same high-loft goose down that made the original Nuptse a high-altitude performer in 1996 — exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio in the boldest and most historically connected colourway in the Nuptse range
• Bold Orange Colourway: A deep, expedition-grade orange with roots in The North Face's earliest alpine equipment — the colour that makes the Nuptse's iconic silhouette impossible to miss and impossible to ignore, worn by those who have no interest in going unnoticed
• Authentic 1996 Design: Faithfully reissued from the original 1996 pattern — the boxy silhouette, bold panelling, and oversized baffle construction in the colourway that brings the Nuptse closest to the expedition heritage it was born from
• Iconic Nuptse Baffled Construction: The Nuptse's signature large, down-filled baffles lock in warmth across the jacket's full body — the construction that built the legend, in the colour that built The North Face
• Packable Design: Stuffs into its own chest pocket for compact storage — the Nuptse's legendary practicality in the colourway that is anything but understated
• Embroidered North Face Branding: The heritage Half Dome logo and original Nuptse branding — detailing that hits with full force against the orange shell, exactly as it was always meant to

The original. In orange. Unapologetically bold — the North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Orange is the most historically grounded and visually commanding colourway of the most culturally significant jacket ever made, for those who understand that the Nuptse was always meant to be seen.
