Jacket TNF 1996 Retro Nuptse

TNF 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in TNF Black takes an iconic alpine design and reimagines it for modern everyday wear. First introduced in the 90s, the Nuptse became legendary for its oversized quilted pattern, durable ripstop fabric and reliable warmth. This updated version stays true to the original look while using recycled materials and RDS-certified down for a more responsible construction.

Built with WindWall™ technology and finished with a non-PFC durable water repellent (DWR) coating, it keeps you protected from chilly gusts and light moisture. The 700-fill down insulation offers exceptional warmth without unnecessary weight, while the relaxed, boxy cut leaves room for easy layering. Designed for practicality, the jacket features a stowable hood, zip-secure hand pockets, and the ability to pack into its own pocket, making it a versatile choice for both outdoor use and urban adventures.
