The The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest - Men's is a modern reissue of a classic cold-weather favorite. Featuring the original shiny ripstop nylon fabric with a durable water-repellent finish, this vest offers reliable protection against light moisture while maintaining a lightweight feel.
Premium 700-fill-power goose down insulation provides exceptional warmth for cool to cold conditions while remaining compressible for easy packing. The vest can conveniently stow into its own hand pocket, making it ideal for travel and everyday carry.
A stowable hood is built into the collar, giving you flexible coverage when temperatures drop. The exposed YKK VISLON® two-way zipper allows adjustable ventilation and easier movement while sitting or layering.
The standard fit with a slightly boxy silhouette reflects the original 1996 design, providing comfortable layering over hoodies or sweaters. An adjustable hem bungee helps trap heat inside, while the internal zip pocket keeps essentials secure.
