The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Light Grey

The Original Puffer. In Light Grey.

The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Light Grey is the icon in its most open and airy expression — a clean, pale grey that lifts the Nuptse's legendary silhouette into a lighter, more contemporary register than the dark grey's composed authority can reach. The same faithfully reissued 1996 construction — the 700-fill goose down, the signature oversized baffles, the authentic panelling — in a tone that brings the Nuptse's bold baffled construction into its most modern and season-spanning form.

Why You'll Love It

• 700-Fill Goose Down Insulation: The same high-loft goose down that made the original Nuptse a high-altitude performer in 1996 — exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio in the Nuptse's lightest and most contemporary neutral colourway
• Clean Light Grey Colourway: A pale, open grey that brings an airy modernity to the Nuptse's iconic silhouette — lighter than dark grey's authority, softer than cream's warmth, and more contemporary than any other neutral in the range
• Authentic 1996 Design: Faithfully reissued from the original 1996 pattern — the boxy silhouette, bold panelling, and oversized baffle construction in the colourway that makes the Nuptse feel the most current and season-spanning it has ever been
• Iconic Nuptse Baffled Construction: The Nuptse's signature large, down-filled baffles lock in warmth across the jacket's full body — the construction that built the legend, in the lightest and most contemporary of all its neutral expressions
• Packable Design: Stuffs into its own chest pocket for compact storage — the Nuptse's legendary practicality in the colourway that transitions most naturally between seasons and settings
• Embroidered North Face Branding: The heritage Half Dome logo and original Nuptse branding — detailing that reads with a clean, contemporary precision against the light grey shell

The original. In light grey. Openly modern — the North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Light Grey is the most contemporary and season-spanning neutral colourway of the most culturally significant jacket ever made, for those who want the icon to feel as current as the day it was reissued.
