The North Face knows that kids need the same quality as adults in their winter outerwear, so it created the Boys Nuptse Down Jacket. The Nuptse will help keep your ripper warm in seriously cold weather.

  • 600-Fill down is warm and light for all-day comfort
  • Durable Water Repellant (DWR) finish adds more water-resistance than typical down jackets
  • Zip and snap-in compatible for really cold days
  • ID Label so he can find it after lunch

Bottom Line: Grown-up features, small-fry size.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

No hood here but if you're looking for a solid down style for boys check out the moondoggy jacket. Hope that helps.

Seems to run small, otherwise great jacket!

By:

The small fits my 6 1/2 year old son perfectly (he is average to big for his age). I was hoping for something he could wear next winter, so will probably order a size up or hand it down to his younger brother. Otherwise, it is great quality and feels like it'll be nice and warm.

This jacket can be zipped or snapped into a shell, making one jacket(essentially). Most brands use zippers that only allow other pieces of that brand to be used and not all pieces in a brand will necessarily work.

The North Face has a system of shells and insulating layers that can be combined via zippers to become one jacket.

Disappointed

Jacket came in small plastic packaging, took a while to fluff up. Pocket seam had a 1/4 inch slash as if a razor went across it; was leaving on trip so didn't have time to exchange. Won't be ordering from this joint again! Didn't even send complimentary sticker!

Hey there! This jacket is zip-in compatible, but only into another jacket... it doesn't allow you to zip another into this jacket... look for a shell to zip this into...

I have an almost 8-year old that needs a winter jacket but am afraid if I get the small 7/8 it will barely fit, but the med 10/12 seems like it will be way too big. Thoughts and help please??!! Thx!

The specs for the jacket are listed under "sizing" take a look at them, grab a tape measure and measure the kid... then you will know. Nothing worse than a kid being made to wear a jacket way to big. Get one that fits properly and if he outgrows it sell it on Ebay and get another one... plus you're stimulating the economy:)

I know it's personal preference, but I would go with the med 10/12 for two reasons. One, I like to go a little bigger with an overcoat so I can layer if I need to and, two, an 8 year old is still growing quickly and with the larger size you might be able to get two winters out of it. Hope this helps!

Hi Marjorie with North Face a medium is a 10/12 and a large is a 12/14 so I think a medium would be the ticket for your little cruiser.
