The North Face Nuptse Down Jacket - Women's - 2006 BCS

no question...this jacket should be part of every womans quiver! a basic must! warm, packs small, looks cute, and just enough durability to make it last for years...but a price that makes it so you dont feel too badly buying a new one every couple years. fabulous new colors every year!

Cute jacket, but more importantly it is very very warm yet lightweight and not bulky. I was at a nighttime event with friends, temps right at freezing, everyone else was cold except me, and I am very cold natured. In fact, I had to leave the jacket unzipped because I was so warm. Love it.

I talked my wife into buying this jacket
and she has been in love ever since.
very warm and comfortable Don't buy
the white color gets very dirty around the cuffs especially if you have small kids.
also must be dry cleaned. Very happy with this puffy!!!

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!!

I own the nuptse vest, but my wife wanted the full blown version. She always wanted one for the style so I bought her one. She is always cold, no matter how many layers she wears she always is complaining about being cold. Until this jacket came in the mail. She told me that this jacket is officially the first jacket that she has ever worn that she gets TOO hot in. Amazing, 11 years of her griping about the thermostat and all I had to do was buy this jacket. You ask my wife? She says this jacket is so good. You ask me? I say my ears are no longer ringing.

I live in Wisconsin where it gets cold early and stays cold for a long time. I am a cold weather wimp - but I LOVE this jacket. It's light, comfortable and warm, letting me stand outside for countless hours of football and soccer!

Talked my wife into buying this and she loves it, very warm looks nice

I have had this jacket for about 10 years now, and it's really the best jacket when its freezing cold out. It is great to take backpacking because it is light and packs well. This is going to be one of those jackets I keep forever.

The jacket is very warm and the color Aires Blue is so me! I would not trade my jacket up for anything else.

The jacket is very warm and the color is awesome.

A warm jacket that keeps out the wind, lightweight and stylish. I also have the older hooded version which I absolutely love but they dont make it anymore. Great no frills jacket that gets the job done. A staple in TNF clothing.

I love this coat. I live in Chicago and the winters can be pretty brutal. Even in early Spring, when I could wear a lighter coat, I choose to wear the Nuptse because it is incredibly comfortable.

I LOVE the Nupse jacket-probably the warmest jacket I own ( and I am a collector!) It runs big but is super comfy and looks great! I like it better than my Mammut and Arcteryx jackets-kinda like comparing a Lexus to a Saturn?

I love this jacket. It is nice and warm and puffy and light. I used it backpacking in the lake tahoe, ca region last weekend and it was perfect for the trip. It was high 30's at night and I wasn't cold outside the tent with the jacket on. As a bonus, it also makes a great pillow once you are in your sleeping bag.

Also, I ordered the large at first since it said it ran big, but had to exchange for the medium. Medium is normally what I wear so it was true to size.

My only concern based on other reviews is durabililty, but I guess I'll fine out. It seems fine new.

Really warm and comfortable jacket that kept me warm in -30C in Siberia. Good quality too.

This jacket is one of the lightest and softest jackets I've ever owned. It fits maybe a little big, but it’s great if you are wearing a sweater. If you like your jackets tight then you might want to order a size smaller. Overall, a great buy! I would definitely recommend this one!!

This jacket rocks!! This is my second one like it, as my black lab ripped a hole in the first one and I was devastated. This coat is perfect for our bitter cold days here in Minnesota! The sleeves could definitely be longer though! Never-the-less, it's a great coat for all winter outdoor activities!

Hey, I own about 7 The North Face jackets: all different degrees of warmth for different climates, this jacket is absoltly beatiful and resilient. It also snaps into a waterproof shell (i recommend these!!). I get so many compliments. True to size...also wash it once before you wear it, the poofiness comes down. When it arrives it was very poofy and marshmellow-like, but after one wash/dry (follow the instructions on the label) it looks beautiful!

I loved the blue color I ordered...but sadly I hadn't read the fine print about the sizing. Ordered a medium, but a small would have been the one for the job. Had to send it back.

Hello from New Zealand
Its very expensive to buy 'The North Face' gear from our retail stores, so I found this company online. Even after converting $NZ-$US it STILL worked out cheaper. I love the jacket and it arrived to me very quickly and in perfect condition. I'm stoked with it.

Happy Shopping with my recommendation!

Great jacket. Definitely the classic down jacket. Doesn't make you look svelte but it sure keeps you warm. Really like the igneous purple color which to me is more of a burgundy.

I'm 5'4" with an athletic body. This product was too short for me. The arm length was good, but the jacket didn't stay down if I lifted up my arms at all. This became apparent on a camping trip where I had to bend down and stand up a lot to tend to a fire. Otherwise, loved the color and the look of it! (Although I wish The North Face made its logo a little less front and center on every piece of clothing they make...but that's just my aesthetic.)

I love this jacket. I tried several before I decided on this one. I'm tall (5'8") and some of the other jackets were too short and the arms were too short as well. The color of the jacket is great (I got the brown) and the fit is perfect. It is very light weight but warm. I wear it all the time. Looks great and fits great.

I'm so glad I ordered this coat! It's one of the warmest, most comfortable coats I've ever owned and unlike my peacoat it doesn't weigh a ton. The length is great and sleeve length is good too. I think it ran fairly true to size maybe a little large.

Everyone has commented on it and said they wished they had one! Haven't actually tried it in the snow yet though we have plenty of cold days down here in Sth Isl of NZ, so will look forward to being warm. It looks good anyway! But I disagree with your commment about the size running big for TNF garments. I got my usual size and would certainly not have wanted it any smaller. You need room for garments underneath as well. My advice on this jacket: get your usual size not a size smaller.

i probably can't say much that others haven't, but this jacket was the best investment i've made. living in the mountains, the weather can get pretty extreme, and this jacket helps me survive it

Light, warm and comfortable. Excellent buy! I also like your service, efficient and quick delivery of the products.

well, i guess this is really warm jacket, i live in chicago...this will work for winter..

Warm and light and super soft. Fits perfectly. Great price. What more can you ask for?

I bought one of these about 7 years ago and I wear it all the time. For really cold days skiing I wear it under a water/windproof shell - I'm toasty on the coldest days when everyone else wants to go inside. I wear it around town on its own almost every day in the winter. After 7 years of heavy use a few holes are starting to appear and the down is coming out. So I figure it's time to buy another.

I am thrilled with this coat. We've had a ridiculous, cold winter and I've been warm and toasty outside for the first time ever! You can't surpass the quality of The North Face!

after reading the online reviews about this nuptse jacket..i decided to buy one.

i bought the aconcagua jacket several years ago, and absolutely love it....., it just didn't seem warm enough for weather under 32 degrees, so i bought the nuptse....

wow- what a warm jacket!! i was pleasantly surprised, definitely "bulkier" than my aconcagua, but warmer for sure. the sizes run larger though- i am usually a size 12 pant and a large top, but i wear a medium in north face stuff... the price was great.....

This jacket is so unbelievably warm, lightweight, and cozy....I can't say enough good about this jacket. Runs true to size. Ordered the white. You won't go wrong with this. 5'1", 120 pounds, 36" bust - size small - sizing allows you to layer underneath it. Enjoy!

It's a stylish, warm and very comfortable jacket; the "brownie" is my favorite North Face color.The sizing is true. The only extra I'd like is for this jacket to also have Gore-tex lining.

I got this jacket in Brownie. Color is great and even better b/c of it being a discontinued color I got it for a steal. My biggest concern was sizing. I originally ordered a Medium b/c of the fit of a previous North Face Coat purchase but sent it back b/c it was too big and got a Small. The Small is slightly baggie and I could probably get away with wearing an Extra Small but it would probably be fitted. The Small provides enough space for winter attire underneath, ex. sweaters, sweatshirts, layers, etc... I also found these reviews to be most helpful in deciding to which size to purchase. I am 5'3", 130lbs and 34" bust... so hopefully that will help someone else with their decision making. P.S. coat is light but super warm. I love it!

Puffy and warm. Small sizes don't look overly bulky at all. Nice hip length. Only bad thing is that the shell material stains very easily, and difficult to clean.

I bought a The North Face Nuptse Jacket and I absolutely LOVE IT!! It is by far the warmest winter coat that I've ever had. I would highly recommend this coat to anyone!

I love the jacket. It keep me warm and don't need to wear a sweater under it. I live in Chicago and the weather here is very unpredictable. I already have 4 The North Face jackets and I love each one of them.

I have been looking at and longing for this jacket online for like ever, but never had the money to get it. But when I saw the color I wanted (diamond blue) only had one more left in my size, and it was 20% off, I jumped into action and used my moms credit card and am making payments to her. And jeez it is worth it! The outside of the jacket feels almost like silk, and the inside the same. I thought the coat would be big and bulky, and I'd look like Michelin Man, LOL but the shipping weight was only 1.7lbs!! It is so lightweight and the down is so soft and non-bulky, I swear it feels like your wearing nothing, except for the excellent warmth it provides. I would highly recommend this jacket. The only thing I don't like is that it's not waterproof. But I still give it 5 stars!!

Beauty of a coat. I usually wear a medium, but the M was way way too big. Had to exchange for a small. Very warm and very comfortable. Got the white --- easy to wash, too. Have always wanted one and finally got it!!!

I always freeze when the temps drop, but this jacket keeps me toasty!
Just did a winter backpack in Grand Canyon and when the sun goes down it can get pretty chilly down there. I was sure glad I had this down jacket. Can't wait to try it out on the slopes of Telluride next month!

The jacket is very warm in extremly cold temps. I will deftintely be back to purchase all my North Face jackets for myself and my daughter through your site as the service was excellent!!!

Great Jacket!! It was here only 2 days after I ordered it. Wonderful service. Thanks!

I got it from my husband before a Packer game...at Lambeau Field...in December.
I didn't get cold...nuff said!!

It fits nicely and keeps her VERY warm on her walks to work from the train station. She was concerned that it would be too bulky but once she tried it on, she found it to be perfect,

I love this jacket! It is very light weight but incredibly warm! I wore this outside in Northern Minnesota in below zero weather. I never got cold. It's incredibly comfy and very cute. I've only had it 2 weeks and have received tons of compliments.

I bought this jacket back in November '08 and it is by FAR the warmest jacket I have ever owned. Have owned many winter coats over the years and this is the warmest, hands down. Sat through a college football game in about 15 degree temps and was toasty the entire time. I ordered a large rather than a medium (I have long arms and trouble with sleeves that are long enough. I'm 5'7" about 135) and it fits fine.
Thanks to Backcountry Guru for letting us know that this jacket will fit into any TNF triclimate shell. extremely helpful.

I always wanted to get a North Face jacket, because I have heard from my friends that they have the warmest jackets, and I was always cold so I thought that I would give a try. Right after I bought it, I went to Breckenridge, Colorado on a ski trip and my jacket was the best Christmas gift to myself. It's so warm and so light, you don't even know that you are wearing it. I love it and I would recommend it to anyone to buy because it's worth it.

This is my daughter's 4th North Face coat, but her first Nuptse. She told me it was the best one yet. I couldn't be happier since she is 14,and you never know what you are going to get with her!

I've looked for a coat like this for years. I absolutely love it!!!

Great Coat...nice and warm. I would agree that it does run big. I had to return my first one and size down.

I wore it yesterday in cold, windy conditions and couldn't believe how something so light weight could be so warm. Actually I had to unzip it a few times during my vigorous walk. It's fabulous...

BOUGHT THE NUPTSE, IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, I LOOK AWESOME, AND I'M SURLY WARM.

warm, wind-proof jacket, however, it is a shorter jacket, especially in the front.

My jacket came very quick and it's exactly what I was expecting- very warm and lightweight..The Gypsy Pink color was more coral-y colored when I got it than on the website, but it's still a cool color

I wanted a warm down coat with roomy pockets, a high collar, and sized to fit large enough to wear over a thick fleece on the coldest days. This coat fills the bill. The NF sizing chart is accurate, so I went up one size to get the extra room and it's perfect. Very warm, roomy, soft, plenty of pocket room for gloves, headbands, etc. And the color - Aires Blue - is a beautiful sky blue, a bit lighter than the picture shown on my computer.

I am happy with this jacket. It is light, packs very well, takes up little space in my backpack, and is very warm. I think it runs a bit large but its fine.

Wasted far too much time thinking about getting this jacket and very glad I finally did. It does everything they say it does and the white Nuptse is seriously cute. And yes, they are roomy. Ordered it on Thursday, arrived in New Zealand on Monday - amazing service, great website.

I really love my white Nuptse Down Jacket, this is the third Nuptse Jacket I have bought, I have also a brown one and a lilac one and I would love a red one! I think that counts as an obsession!!!

feel comfortable

I love this jacket I have it in loads of colors!!!!!

Love the jacket, only item is that it runs very small. Bought the jacket for my mom in an XL, and found that I could wear it (I am usually a S or M), and it was too tight for mom. I decided to keep it for myself though. It packs down into a small area for travel.

The North Face Nuptse is the best jacket for cold weather. It's super warm, yet lightweight and stylish. I live in New England and it has been cold here lately and I am always cold anyway, but I'm nice and warm in my Nuptse. For really cold temps (in the teens or lower) I will wear another layer underneath. This is my 3rd Nuptse jacket, but definitely not my last.

Deep pockets and feeling cold - buy this and you will be fine. Very expensive! But worth the price.

Light, stylish, warm and a perfect fit, this jacket beats all others.

I am really impressed with backcountry.com. I wasn't able to find the right color or size in local stores and Christmas was quickly approaching. I went onto your website, found what I was looking for, and even received shipment one day earlier than promised. Fast, knowledgeable, friendly service at a stressful time of year. You made my holiday shopping so much easier. Many thanks and I will continue to check out your website for great deals. I would highly recommend your company to anyone.

I initially did not want to get this jacket because I was afraid it would be too puffy. So I actually bought another The North Face jacket with less down-fill so it wouldn't be to puffy, but it was so thin and disappointing. I finally gave in and bought the nuptse; I couldn't have made a better choice. It is soooooo warm and comfy and I don't look like the marshmallow man! It is very stylish. I'm 5ft2in, 120lbs, usually a size small in everything else, but I got a medium in this jacket and it fits perfectly. I say this because the other The North Face I bought was a small and it just didn't fit right, the arms were short and so was the length.

Warm enough for 40 degrees F weather with wind. The only thing cold was the parts of the body the jacket doesn't cover.

The Nuptse Women's jacket is a wonderful jacket. It keeps you warm and its very light. Its appearance is so nice that makes stop people in the street asking for it.
I strongly recommend this jacket to every woman or girl specially in white that is a very feminine color.

This jacket is soft and cozy and very warm! I live in Minnesota, and this is definately going to get me through the coldest months!

In outfitting for a climb of el Pico de Orizaba, Mexico in January, I was searching for a "just-in-case" outer insulating layer. The Nuptse seemed to be the one. It was one of my best purchases, as it not only kept me going on our summit bid (as a FIFTH layer) but it also prevented my toes from freezing every night at the 14,000' base camp when I tucked it over my -5 degree mummy bag. I highly recommend it!

Great coat! It is extremely warm, I love it!

I love this jacket. It's lightweight and very warm.

I really like this jacket, mostly because it comes in a gorgeous blue color! So far I have only worn it in temperatures a bit above freezing - and it is very comfortable. My only gripe with the design is that there is no hood hidden in the collar. That would have made the jacket much more functional in colder or windy weather.

Highly recommended for women - it's a fitted jacket that is highly flattering (none of that "puffy snowman look") without sacrificing warmth.

Great value! We've had the men's version for a couple years and it holds up great.

Light weight, very warm, except wind does go through sometimes at the zipper line.

I love this jacket. It is warm and so light.

The North Face Nuptse jacket is awesome. It is a warm jacket for the cold winter Alaska days and nights. I have been wearing this jacket for about a month and love it so far. I thought the extra down loft would be too bulky, but this jacket is light doesn't hinder movement in any way.
