Inspired by The North Face's 1996 Nuptse The 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest brings a retro flair to our look and is versatile enough for our adventures around town or on the trail. Its high goose down insulation keeps your body warm providing reliable warmth on cold winter days and the durable face fabric is waterproof and keeps you dry if the flakes start to fall. The hood protects your face from the wind but in good weather it can be easily stowed away by the collar and an adjustable hem closure prevents cold air from entering your clothing.
