The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Green
The Original Puffer. In Green.
The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Green is the icon in its most natural and purposeful colourway — a deep, earthy green that reconnects the Nuptse with the outdoor heritage that created it. The same faithfully reissued 1996 construction — the 700-fill goose down, the signature oversized baffles, the authentic panelling — in a green that feels less like a colour choice and more like a return to where the Nuptse came from. The mountains are green. So is the jacket that was built for them.
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 colourway that speaks most directly to the Nuptse's outdoor origins
- Earthy Green Colourway: A deep, grounded green that roots the Nuptse's iconic silhouette in the natural world it was designed to inhabit — the colourway that makes the Nuptse feel less like a cultural artefact and more like the working alpine jacket it was always meant to be
- Authentic 1996 Design: Faithfully reissued from the original 1996 pattern — the boxy silhouette, bold panelling, and oversized baffle construction in the colourway that honours the Nuptse's outdoor heritage more directly than any other in the range
- 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 brought it home
- Packable Design: Stuffs into its own chest pocket for compact storage — the Nuptse's legendary practicality in the colourway most at home in the environment the Nuptse was originally built for
- Embroidered North Face Branding: The heritage Half Dome logo and original Nuptse branding — detailing that lands with a grounded, natural authority against the green shell
The original. In green. Back where it belongs — the North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Green is the most purposeful and heritage-connected colourway of the most culturally significant jacket ever made, for those who remember that the Nuptse was built for the mountain long before it was worn on the street.
