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 that fills the Nuptse’s wide baffles to their maximum thermal capacity for serious cold-weather warmth, with the 700 fill-power identifier embroidered in white at the sleeve cuff as a precise specification marker against the flame orange exterior
• 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 across the flame orange exterior, with deep baffle shadow lines that emphasise the jacket’s heat-gradient orange depth and define its heritage silhouette at any distance
• Black Hooded Construction – 1996 Retro Heritage Hood – A full attached hood in black — providing maximum head and face coverage in cold weather while delivering the jacket’s most dominant colour-block element, the all-black hood and collar creating the flame-orange-body / black-upper two-tone contrast that frames the face with the sharpest and most high-visibility colour boundary in the Retro Nuptse collection, the hood’s black continuing from the collar and upper chest panel for a unified upper-body colour-block architecture
• Flame Orange and Black Two-Tone Colour-Block – Maximum-Visibility Retro Archive Palette – Blazing flame orange across the jacket body and sleeves with a black hood, collar, and upper chest panel — the most high-visibility and visually commanding two-tone combination in the Retro Nuptse collection, the pure flame orange delivering a colour impact that is equally at home as a ski-mountain high-visibility layer, a streetwear statement piece, and a collector-grade archive colourway that commands attention in any setting
• Black Interior Lining with Internal Zip Pocket – Tonal Interior Architecture – A fully black-lined interior across the jacket body with a single internal zip pocket — continuing the black colour-block from the exterior hood and collar into the jacket’s interior lining, the black interior providing a high-contrast reveal when the flame orange exterior is opened and offering secure storage for essentials via the internal zip pocket
• 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 flame orange body and the black upper chest panel — delivering maximum-contrast brand identification in white against both the orange and black panels, consistent with the original 1996 Nuptse design specification
• Elastic-Finished Cuffs – Clean Wrist Closure – Gathered elastic-finish cuffs at the sleeve ends in flame orange — providing a snug, seal-forming wrist closure that prevents cold air intrusion at the sleeve termination in a clean elastic format that maintains the jacket’s streamlined exterior silhouette through to the cuff without the bulk of velcro tab adjustment
• 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, the branded black storage bag confirming the jacket’s authentic The North Face retail presentation and collector-grade unboxing specification
