The North Face Men's 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest 2026 TNF Black-R

Shiny 40D recycled-nylon ripstop with a non-PFC DWR sheds light precip while oversized baffles trap 700-fill recycled waterfowl down for serious loft. Taffeta overlay at the collar and yoke adds durability where packs and straps rub, and the fabric is built to dry quickly while staying breathable.

The North Face Men's 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest keeps a relaxed, boxy silhouette, with a stowable, adjustable three-piece hood and an exposed VISLON® front zip. Secure-zip hand pockets carry essentials, and the 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest stuffs into the right pocket for packable warmth at 545 g.
