The North Face Nuptse Down Jacket - Women's - 2009 BCS

Love the nuptse. Great looking and super warm. Backcountry always delivers a great deal and stands behind it.

My wife and I have both had these jackets for about a year and have been pleased with them. It does what it is supposed to do, keep you warm. There are other down jackets out there that are warmer and lighter but this one does the job that I ask it to. Be aware that it is the very puffy style and you will look large in it. The jacket features a DWR finish that works fine for light snow or drizzle but would not do well in rain. 700 fill rate and packs down small. No hood on this jacket but the Men's version does, don't really understand that.

Man o man, this is one puffy jacket, i look like a marshmellow in this one, but it sure does keep me warm, so to mask the marshmellow effect i have zipped it into my hardshell and now that kinda squishes it down and gives it total waterproof protection and extra warmth for me. There is one thing that has me a little ticked off though, its the fact that they gave the mens version a stow away hood and have totally left it out for the women's model, whats that about? I guess they don't think we need head protection, even though we are the one's with long hair that we don't want to get messed up or wet. C'est la vie....

I love, love, love this jacket. Bought it in black and it looks great. Beyond the looks- it fits perfectly, not at all boxy and is SUPER warm. I'm a 6ft tall girl and bought the jacket in a size medium and the sleeves are long enough. I'm super stoked!!

This is truly one of the best buys I have ever made in terms of outdoor gear/clothing. I have had this jacket for over 10 years (men's size S because I don't think they made womens 10 years ago) with no problems in workmanship or quality. I take it almost everywhere I go in the CO backcountry in all seasons as I get cold easily and quickly. It doesn't matter how cold you are...you put this on and you are toasty warm in 5 minutes max! In winter conditions, it is warmer than any other layer when you pair it with a shell. I have worn it in this configuration comfortably in both below-zero and cold/wet conditions. I wear it by itself for spring skiing with one thin wool layer under it. In the summer, I wear it in the morning and evenings in camp and use it as my pillow in the tent. I carry it in my pack for long climbs/hikes on the 14ers (it packs down to the size of one of those mini-watermelons). It's only weakness as a stand-alone jacket is wetness - but this goes for any down-filled thing. The "won't this make me look fat" girl instinct in you may be averse to the poofy look of it, but this is for function - it's the poofiness that provides for the lovely pillow of stationary warm air around your body. Finally...DO NOT fall for buying a cheaper jacket with a lower down "fill count"...it WILL be inferior!

I absolutely love this jacket, and the new style is slightly more fitted than my two year old Nuptse. I basically live in the jacket because it's the only thing that keeps me warm, and I've worn it while skiing and had NO problems staying too warm if anything. While it does make me resemble the Michelin Man, I could care less-I just want to stay warm!

I love my puffy! Its super warm and a fit great. Highly recommend this coat.

I purchased this jacket a few weeks ago in lieu of the upcoming winter. Winters don't usually get too bad here in southern Idaho, but we've had a really cold spell recently and this jacket keeps me nice and toasty. I'll be wearing it all this winter and every winter from here on out! A hood would make it better, but I really have no complaints about it. Definitely worth the money.

I am 5'4" and weigh 105 lbs. I am not a petite because of my height and 99% of the time wear an XS. This XS is tight fitting (I tried it on with only a t-shirt), so I can't fit a sweater on underneath it. The main problem, though, is that the sleeves are about an inch (or more) too short! I have to send it back and I see that they no longer have an smalls. It was a great deal- I wish it had worked for me. Also love the color (loganberry red).

i just got this jacket to replace the Thunder Down i returned. I LOVE IT! it fits perfectly, it looks good and its WARM. the adjustable cuffs and waist band are great, the neck has enough fill to keep your neck warm without feeling strangled. highly recommend whether this is your only jacket or to add to a collection.

I bought this as a gift for my sister who lives in the mountains of New Hampshire and says it's thelightest and warmest jacket ever...she wouldn't be without it. The quality is superior and the fit is true to size...great product!

My wife needed a new winter coat and she absolutely loves it. We live I Chicago and it has been a cold winter and she has been plenty warm in the coat. My wife thinks anything below 50 is cold, so for her to think the coat is plenty warm says a lot.

Unbelievably warm - also lightweight, well-fitted, and good-looking. Highly recommend it.

Got one for me & another for my sister ( her christmas gift). Was exactly what I was looking for, very warm, looks great, not bulky. Great for the Northeast region of the US during winter seasons. If you want something for colder climates research the jacket and what cold temperatures it can withstand. The name holds true to the product! What really got me was the lifetime warranty, same as LL Bean. Thanks, BackCountry.

YOU CAN ALWAYS TRUST BACKCOUNTRY FOR THEIR SPEEDY DELIVERY AND THEIR PRODUCTS. I JUST LOVE THE JACKET AND HAS KEPT ME WARM ON THOSE COLD NORTH EASTERN DAYS AND NIGHTS.
THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
BACKCOUNTRY IS NUMBER 1 IN MY BOOK

I bought this jacket Dec. 7th and, thankfully, it arrived the next day. It was 9 degrees and snowing in Denver, CO. I walked to class wearing only a t-shirt under my new North Face jacket. It is so warm and flattering on the body. I'm 5'6 and weigh 140. I ordered a medium, and it fits very well whether I have on a t-shirt or multiple layers of long-sleeve shirts. I'm very pleased with this purchase and the purchasing process.

This coat is by far the best coat ever. Completely warm....well worth every penny! Not bulky at all and looks great! I'm getting one in white too!

My husband made me wait through weeks of very cold days/nights before I could have this jacket for Christmas. I returned it for another color but, other than that, I am very happy with it. Very warm and very comfortable. I ended up with an X-large to accomodate bulk underneath which some may or may not need or want. I would recommend this jacket to anyone.

Bought this for Christmas for my mom and she loves it. She doesn't take it off when she goes out keeps her really warm.

I ordered this jacket a few weeks before Christmas and got in within 2-3 days (Backcountry is awesome). It's warm and has a great fit. I ended up going up a size though to make sure I'd have room for sweaters/sweatshirts.

I bought this jacket as a gift for my GF, she is a bit skinny and is always cold, those days are over, she says she doesnt need any layer down this one, only a single shirt and will never feel any cold.
the material looks great and has awesome breathable capacity so u dont heat over. Has some water resistant also, still i do not recommended for past experiences when goose down filled jackets get wet the feathers in it may compress with each other and will never be as new again..

I love this jacket, it is very warm! I am tall and the length actually works for me. The only thing I would do differently next time is order this jacket with a hood!!

Jacket fits great but for being slightly too short in the arms and torso for the lankier person. I'm 5'7", 120lbs and have a small. It's warm at -5 celsius and total inactivity but I honestly was expecting more warmth than it offers. I would layer with fleece or wool and, in wind, wear a shell.

I bought this jacket for my 17 year old daughter. She absolutely loves it! We live in Montana and need a great cold weather jacket.

I'm 5'9" and 145 lbs and got a size large. It fits great even when I have a sweater on. I especially like the longer length for my longer torso. It is nice & warm for our Montana winters!

I'm 5'8" and 150#s. Unfortunately, a Medium was a good fit but was too short in the arms and body. The Large was way too poofy but was the better length in the arms and body. Be prepared for this jacket to be very poofy. It is very warm though.

This jacket is incredibly warm and comfortable. I have worn it in temps down to about 5 degrees and it kept me nice and toasty with just a t-shirt underneath. Fits true to size and would recommend it to anyone who wants to keep nice and warm.

I've always had great luck with North Face. I still have my NF down sleeping bag from more years ago than I care to admit to.

This jacket s so toasty & since it actually came in a petite & in brown, this has been a win-win situation. I turned an e-mail friend who lives in NYC where winters are not fun & she ordered it in a heart beat.

Sorry-no picture; I've no idea how to do that but--
I do look like a Michelin ( hey it's a down jacket for christ sake) & I love it. I also love Back Country.

Great jacket! I only got to wear it once though because now the weather is too warm. It will get tested better next winter. It fits perfectly and it is not too poofy.

I got the jade green color and it's really pretty. The jacket is super warm and SUPER puffy! It's kind of funny how puffy it is, but I still love it.

This jacket is fantastic - I have previously had a white one which I loved apart from the fact that it does show the dirt easily. This green one is amazing.

I bought the jacket for my niece and she just LOVE IT! VERY warm jacket for Chicago. The jacket came in handy for the snow blizzard we had.

Well, as expected, this jacket is super warm (how could it not be with 700 fill down???). It's been in the teens here and I've worn it every day since getting it- it's perfect! Length wise, it falls to about mid-hip on me, which is longer than I was expecting, although I did get the extra large (I'm 5'4", 160lbs, big bust!). The only issue I have with this jacket is the sleeves aren't quite long enough- they barely touch my wrist and any time I raise my arm to do anything I have a good 2 inches of skin exposed. It wasn't like this on my other TNF jacket (furallure) but overall it's not a huge deal... just a little annoying. Overall, love the jacket!

I was a little worried when I first received the jacket, as it seemed WAY too puffy, and I nearly returned it! But I tried it on a few times, and soon got used to it, and now I just don't want to take it off - it is SO warm and snug, and really comfortable to move around in. You can just wear a t-shirt underneath, and still be toasty, which is something you probably couldn't in a thinner down jacket on a cold day. I also think it's one of the nicest looking puffy jackets out there. So, I'm glad I didn't send it back!

I bought this jacket about 2-3 years ago and I just love it! I've used it for cold days and I've taken it on ski trips. It's very warm and light (a little bit puffy, but I don't mind)...I'm about to get one for my mother!

This jacket is awesome. I would recommend it for anyone looking for warmth, comfort and style.

The jacket has exceeded my expectations for warmth. The quality and quantity of down suggests that this should be warmth, which is why I settled on this particular jacket. I live in the northern part of the US where winters see temperatures below zero frequently and I am an outdoor enthusiast so I like to spend time outdoors even in the cold. I can attest that this jacket will keep you warm even when the temperatures are freezing.

It also looks very stylish. I had to order it in a medium though I am normally a small.

I would say the only downsides I have found are the absence of a hood (which I, of course, knew before I purchased). I also have a longer torso and at times the jacket creeps up a little higher than I would like. I find this with most jackets though in this type of style.

Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend this jacket.

I got paint on my original North Face Nuptse Down Jacket I got 8 years ago, which I LOVED! Living in Montana and always being cold, the down jacket is a necessity. Already knowing that I liked it so much, I just ordered a new one, which of course didn't disappoint! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay warm in the winters. I'm usually a S, but in this I wear the medium so you have room for layers...

I wanted a short jacket to wear on the weekends. I now wear it to work also. Warm and toasty. Highly recommend buying it.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this jacket! I find myself wishing for cold weather just so I can wear it. It keeps me toasty warm but does not look bulky at all. Will definitely order from backcountry.com again!

Gave this jacket to my daughter as a gift. She loves it but wanted a roomier fit so ended up exhanging the M for a L (and she's only 5'3" and 125 lbs). It's super warm and cozy, and all the rage on her college campus (Colorado).

I purchased my North Face Jacket about 1 1/2 years ago. I live in the mountains of Alaska in Eagle River Valley outside of Anchorage. The jacket isn't warm at all except on days where the temperature is 25 degrees or warmer. The down in the upper arms of the jacket is non-existent. It basically is two layers of nylon. There isn't enough down to keep you warm, thus the lightweight of the jacket. If you purchase this jacket, better plan on wearing a good fleece jacket under this coat or you will freeze on cold those days below 25 degrees. Basically, you are buying a cheap coat with a big name. You get a better buy with LL Bean or Eddie Bauer.

One of the most popular down jackets on the market. I bought one of these for my mother as a gift and she gets cold extremely easy here in Utah. It fits a little big, as is stated in the tech specs. It fits similar to the Denali fleece with a loose fit. 700 fill down, with a large amount of it for the price. Very puffy and warm from what she has said. Great style, warmth and quality for a pretty low price comparativley to some other down jackets. Sure you might be paying a little more for "The North Face" logo but the quality is still there.
