The North Face Nuptse Jacket - Men's

Ahh the Nuptse. It's one of The North Face's best-selling jackets for a reason. A few reasons, actually. Warm 700-fill goose down is one of 'em.

  • 700-Fill goose down provides warmth without feeling heavy or stuffy
  • Double-layer taffeta on shoulders boosts durability
  • Internal, zippered stow pocket turns the Nuptse into a comfy winter-camping pillow
  • DWR coating helps repel flakes

Bottom Line: Go Nuptse this winter.

Average down jacket

By:
2 days ago

The down is 700 fill, which is below the quality of other jackets made by Montbell, Rab (which uses European down standards), Western Mountaineering and Feathered Friends. This makes the jacket heavier for the insulation value it provides. In addition, the construction is sewn-through. In wind, there are definite cold spots on the seams.

That said, the jacket is warm and sufficiently large enough to layer a puffy midlayer underneath. I have used it (with layers underneath) in conditions to -20F with windchills much lower.

The DWR on the shell is average and wears out after a while. When the DWR is gone, the shell wets out and gets the down wet. This compromises the insulation value.

The hood is just a nylon hood that rolls into the collar. For winter conditions, I want an insulated hood to keep my head and neck warm.

For the cost, the Nupste's hard to beat. This jacket regularly goes on sale, so don't pay full price for it.

Pretty solid in the wind resistance department. Not quite up to a dedicated wind shell, but I would trust it up to the more serious storms.

NUPTSE JACKET-NOT AS WARM AS MT. HARDWEAR PARKAS

By:
November 26, 2009

Hey Gearheads,
I have the North Face Nuptse. It has a high loft and a lot of down.
But has negatives:
1) Not great on wind resistance.
2) Short length - 27 1/2 inches.
3) Not as warm as the Mt. Hardwear Subzero SL Parka which is much warmer.
4) Nuptse is OK for a 30 degree day, with mild winds, but don't expect warmth for any colder weather.

Nice Coat And Fast Shipping

By:
November 3, 2009

I'm a male who's just shy of 6 feet tall and weigh about 165 lbs. I was able to try both the medium and the large in a store. The medium just makes it on sleeve and torso length, but it's a close call. I opted for the medium because the large was a little loose in the torso for my build. Other than that, the large would have worked. The coat shipped fast and came well packaged.
