The The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse down puffer jacket in orange THE NORTH FACE stands out with its nostalgic design and practical warmth, perfect for chilly urban walks or winter hikes. Its boxy fit and wide baffles give it that classic ‘90s vibe while allowing comfortable layering underneath.
Material and Insulation

Care and Practical Features
It features two zippered hand pockets lined with soft fleece for convenience and warmth. The jacket is also water-resistant, providing moderate protection in damp weather, though it’s best paired with an outer shell in heavy rain. Machine washable with care, the jacket keeps its loft and shape after washing.
Overall, this jacket successfully marries retro style and modern performance. It’s a top pick if you want reliable warmth and standout color for everyday winter wear without feeling weighed down.
