The North Face White Bear Print 1996 Retro Nuptse Hooded Down Jacket – 700-Fill Black Colour-Block Allover Graphic

The North Face Down Jacket – White Bear Print 1996 Retro Nuptse Hooded 700-Fill Wide-Baffle Black Colour-Block Allover Graphic Heritage Silhouette

The most playful and collector-exclusive print in The North Face retro archive, the The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Hooded Down Jacket in White Bear Print with black colour-block hood and collar delivers the Nuptse’s iconic 700-fill heritage construction in a limited-edition allover graphic execution — featuring a white shell printed across every panel with a repeating pattern of cartoon TNF bears dressed in colourful Nuptse jackets (blue, red, and yellow), with a black hood and collar, elastic-finish cuffs, a white TNF logo badge on the left chest, black side zip pockets, and the original black TNF storage bag — the most graphic, expressive, and limited-format colourway in the entire Retro Nuptse lineup.

Key Features

• 700-Fill-Power Down Insulation – Nuptse Premier Warmth Specification – Premium 700-fill-power goose down insulation throughout the jacket’s wide-baffle construction — the Retro Nuptse’s premium insulation rating delivering exceptional loft volume and warmth-to-weight performance for serious cold-weather warmth, with the Nuptse’s signature wide horizontal baffle quilting creating the jacket’s defining three-dimensional structure beneath the allover bear graphic shell
• Allover TNF Bear Graphic Print – Limited-Edition Collector Artwork – A repeat allover print across the white exterior shell featuring cartoon TNF bears dressed in miniature colourful down jackets — the bears depicted in multiple colourways (blue, red, yellow Nuptse jackets) in a dense, playful repeat across every panel of the body and sleeves, turning the Nuptse’s heritage silhouette into a wearable limited-edition graphic collectible that is entirely unique in the Retro Nuptse archive
• Wide Horizontal Baffle Construction – Original 1996 Nuptse Heritage Architecture – The Nuptse’s iconic wide horizontal baffle quilting across the body and sleeves — the defining structural and visual element of the 1996 Nuptse silhouette, the wide baffles filled to their full 700-fill loft volume creating the Nuptse’s commanding three-dimensional presence beneath the printed white shell, the baffle lines dividing the allover bear print into distinct horizontal bands that give the graphic its characteristic Nuptse-structured presentation
• Black Hooded Construction – 1996 Retro Heritage Hood – A full attached hood in solid black — providing maximum head and face coverage in cold weather while serving as the jacket’s primary graphic break, the all-black hood and collar creating the classic Nuptse upper-body colour-block above the white printed body and framing the face with the Retro Nuptse’s most recognisable silhouette element
• White and Black Graphic Colour-Block – Bear-Print Retro Archive Statement – An allover white bear-print body and sleeves with a solid black hood, collar, and upper chest panel — the most graphic and visually expressive execution of the classic Retro Nuptse two-tone colour-block, replacing the solid-colour body with a dense repeat allover print that makes the white shell an active graphic canvas while retaining the Nuptse’s essential black-upper / white-body architecture
• White TNF Logo Badge – Left Chest – The iconic The North Face logo badge in white on the left chest, positioned at the colour-block boundary between the printed white body and the solid black upper chest panel — delivering brand identification in white against the black panel, consistent with the original 1996 Nuptse design specification
• Elastic-Finish Cuffs – Clean Wrist Closure – Gathered elastic-finish cuffs at the sleeve ends in white bear-print shell — providing a snug, seal-forming wrist closure that maintains the allover graphic print through to the cuff termination in a clean, toggle-free format
• Black Side Zip Pockets – Heritage Pocket Specification – Black zip-entry side pockets positioned at the lower body — providing secure hand warming and storage in a black pocket specification that maintains the jacket’s black colour-block accent elements on the printed white body
• Original TNF Black Packable Storage Bag – Collector-Grade 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 compressed and confirming the jacket’s authentic The North Face retail presentation and collector-grade unboxing specification
