Product Description

The North Face 1996 Nuptse classic down jacket. Sizes: XS-XXL. Color: Black. Filling: Alliance RDS-certified high-loft 700-fill 80% white duck down. Down content: 80% white duck down + 20% waterfowl feathers, lightweight with extremely high loft after compression; the smallest size contains approximately 240g of down filling (care label includes composition and washing instructions). Custom high-density nylon fabric is windproof and waterproof, with fine-grid nylon down-proof lining that prevents down leakage. The front placket features a two-way zipper and concealed snap buttons at the cuffs, with a ZIP IN design for versatile layering, allowing it to be worn as a thickened liner and zipped into shell jackets. All versions include a stowable hood with a Velcro tab at the back collar that converts the hood into a stand collar. The right pocket contains a two-way zipper pull with self-storage functionality; note: the jacket's loft is so high that folding it into the pocket is genuinely a struggle. The front placket runs the full length from bottom to top for complete warmth and sealing. Both the hood and hem feature drawcords, while the cuffs have elastic plus Velcro adjustment to keep cold wind out. Embroidered logos on the front and back are flat, with no loose threads or stitching issues. Concealed windproof hood design. Based on US sizing data, the proportions are balanced, relaxed, warm, and stylish, with genuine internal measurements accommodating up to approximately 230 jin (115 kg) — the pattern has not been reduced to cut costs. Please refer to the size chart for sizing. The literal meaning of "The North Face" is the coldest, most difficult side of a mountain — and it is also where The North Face products are designed to perform. The North Face has always been committed to supporting the discovery of nature and sponsoring explorers to conquer remote corners beyond human reach. The North Face logo is derived from Half Dome in Yosemite National Park, USA — the ultimate goal for rock climbers scaling granite. This refers to the finest domestic production (bar none) — a jacket made to match the original piece exactly. Custom embroidery on imported Barudan machines with tens of thousands of stitches, using imported size 7 needles and imported embroidery thread, each letter full, three-dimensional, and crisp — arguably the most expensive embroidered logo available. Filled with national-standard 80% white duck down for superior warmth, lightweight and not bulky, with excellent loft recovery after compression. Custom 40D grid four-level waterproof fabric, using a consistent single-layer construction (not with an added inner lining layer) — single-layer construction demands that both the fabric and down meet standards to prevent down leakage while maintaining hand feel and loft. The interior uses a nylon double-layer sealing design, ensuring absolutely no down leakage. Built-in drawcord-adjustable hem for wind and cold protection. Zippers are custom YKK with clear engraving and smooth operation. All hardware and buttons use the same copper-core springs (not iron-core springs).
