The North Face Nuptse 1996 Puffer Jacket Brown is a waist-length jacket with 700-fill down insulation. The Brown colorway is a rich cocoa shade, accented by white The North Face embroidered branding on the right rear shoulder and left chest. A hood tucks into the collar, and there are zipper hand pockets. The jacket can be folded and stowed in the right pocket.
The North Face is credited with creating the ubiquitous puffer coat with the Nuptse, which originated in 1996. Since then, its signature oversized baffles have become a mainstay of cold-weather street fashion, and specific colors of past releases become highly covetable for their rarity and cold-weather performance.
In our opinion, the best feature of the Brown Nuptse is its fabrication, which utilizes 100% recycled fabrics on the overlay, lining, and body. The North Face Nuptse 1996 Puffer Jacket Brown retailed at $324 upon release.
