The North Face Down Jacket – Teal Blue 1996 Retro Nuptse 700-Fill Wide-Baffle Two-Tone Dark Teal Collar Hoodless Heritage Silhouette

One of the most sought-after colourways in The North Face retro archive, the The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket in vibrant Teal Blue with dark teal colour-block collar delivers the Nuptse’s iconic heritage silhouette in a standout two-tone palette that combines the warmth and visual presence of the original 1996 specification with the collectability of a premium seasonal colour release. Insulated with 700-fill-power down throughout the Nuptse’s signature wide-baffle quilted construction, this jacket delivers the maximum warmth-to-weight performance of the classic Nuptse format in a teal-blue-dominant exterior with dark teal collar contrast, a TNF logo badge on the left chest, velcro-adjustable cuffs, a teal-lined interior with internal zip pocket, and the original packable storage bag — making this the definitive retro Nuptse for collectors and wearers who want the Nuptse’s most recognisable heritage construction in an archive-grade colour statement.

Key Features

• 700-Fill-Power Down Insulation – Nuptse Heritage Warmth Specification – Premium 700-fill-power goose down insulation throughout the jacket’s wide-baffle construction — the Retro Nuptse’s defining insulation upgrade over the standard Aconcagua specification, the 700-fill rating delivering exceptional warmth-to-weight performance in a loft volume that fills the Nuptse’s wide baffles to their maximum thermal capacity, providing serious cold-weather warmth in the Nuptse’s most packable and lightweight format, with the 700 fill-power rating embroidered in white at the sleeve cuff as a visible specification identifier
• Wide Horizontal Baffle Construction – Original Nuptse Heritage Architecture – The Nuptse’s iconic wide horizontal baffle quilting across the body and sleeves — the defining structural element of the 1996 Nuptse silhouette, the wide baffles filled to their full 700-fill loft volume creating the Nuptse’s characteristic commanding three-dimensional presence across the teal blue exterior, with deep baffle shadow lines that define the jacket’s heritage silhouette and distinguish the Retro Nuptse from all narrower-baffle TNF down jacket constructions
• Teal Blue and Dark Teal Two-Tone Colourway – Retro Archive Colour Statement – A vibrant teal blue as the primary exterior colour across the body and sleeves, with a deeper dark teal collar and upper shoulder zone providing a tonal two-tone contrast — one of the most visually distinctive and archive-desirable colour combinations in the Retro Nuptse’s seasonal colour rotation, the two-tone teal construction creating a colour-block profile that emphasises the Nuptse silhouette’s iconic volume from collar to hem
• Dark Teal Colour-Block Stand Collar – Heritage Contrast Detail – A structured stand collar in deep dark teal providing a precise tonal contrast against the jacket’s teal blue body — a colour-block architectural detail at the Nuptse’s most visible exterior zone, the collar’s darker tone framing the face and delivering the two-tone palette’s most prominent contrast point, consistent with the 1996 Retro Nuptse’s heritage colour-blocking specification
• White TNF Logo Badge – Left Chest – The iconic The North Face logo badge in white on the left chest — providing clean, high-contrast brand identification against the teal blue shell in the restrained white-on-teal contrast register that confirms the jacket’s authentic TNF Nuptse specification and delivers the Retro Nuptse’s characteristic chest branding placement consistent with the original 1996 design
• Velcro-Adjustable Cuffs – Heritage Wrist Seal – Velcro tab-adjustable cuffs at the sleeve ends — providing a precise wrist seal that prevents cold air entry and heat loss at the sleeve termination, the velcro adjustment system delivering the heritage cuff construction of the original 1996 Nuptse specification rather than the elastic or snap cuff formats of later Nuptse iterations
• Teal-Lined Interior with Internal Zip Pocket – Tonal Interior Architecture – A fully teal-lined interior with a single internal zip pocket — providing a coordinated interior colour palette that maintains the jacket’s teal blue colourway from exterior shell to interior lining, the internal zip pocket providing secure storage for essentials within the jacket’s warm interior insulation zone
• Original TNF Packable Storage Bag – Heritage Presentation – Includes the original black The North Face packable storage bag with gold TNF logo — providing a dedicated carry and storage solution for the jacket when packed, the branded storage bag confirming the jacket’s authentic The North Face retail presentation and collector-grade unboxing specification
