1996 Retro Nuptse Vest

Has it really been over twenty years? Take a look back in time with a little help from the 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest by The North Face. Inspired by the iconic design of the original 1996 Nuptse Vest, you can amp up the nostalgia while keeping nice and cozy. The boxy silhouette, overstuffed baffles, and original shiny ripstop fabric really hone into the '90s style while still providing durability and warmth. The 700-fill goose down that's providing you with all that warmth is certified to the Responsible Down Standard so you know that your feathers were never live-plucked or force-fed. For total sweetness, a stowable hood packs into the collar and the whole vest packs into its own pocket for easy storage.

Love

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this vest! It is the perfect length-slightly cropped but not too short. I would definitely buy it again!

Not the Pink You were Looking for

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pink color advertised is not what you recieve. It's much more muted, I'd call it Purple or Mauve, very disapointing. Luckily my wife is flexible. I do not recommend.

Loved my vest so much that my kid wanted it too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear it everywhere. So does my daughter. She liked mine so much that she borrowed it. And I missed it! So I just got her one in order to get mine back! I live in Minneapolis, she's in Chicago. Here's a photo of her rockin the vest in Chicago!

28 Years & Still Trending!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this vest! I wanted something warm but not too warm since Winter is coming to an end. And I'll be able to wear this vest throughout Springtime as well since u can determine how warm u want to be depending on what u wear underneath the vest. The hide-a-way hood is also a plus living in Seattle! This vest is also super trendy right now & u can choose to dress it up or down. I always wear a size medium in TNF jackets & this vest is also true to size. I definitely recommend this vest to anyone who loves TNF gear & wants to stay stylishly warm but not get overheated. It's a perfect addition to almost any outfit!

Finally!

Finally a vest that fits my slender frame. I've ordered XS down vests from other companies -- they have sized up around the middle with the rest of America, so they swamp me. This North Face Retro fits perfectly, only slightly loose, so I can put it over a regular or thick shirt or a thin jacket and it will keep me warm. Down filling is generous, as I had hoped. I've only worn it at home, but it is PERFECT, and I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
