My go to winter jacket!!!

Definitely my go to winter jacket of all time! Don't matter what age you are, this jacket is stylish and versatile, you can wear it with jeans, sweatpants, or even shorts! Got a lot of compliments! I'm 5'7" and weight about 160, wearing a men size Small and still have enough room for a hoodie underneath!

I brought this coat for my son, he loved it and he’s very picky when you don’t let him see it first! It comes in he opens it and gives me the biggest hug and said dad you never fail. I then told him. This was his dad’s favorite style jacket so I’d figured you’d love it! Few weeks later. My wife buys me one!

Warmest I have ever had!!

It is perfect. It looks good, feels good, zipper is so easy! I am warm in 0 degrees weather! As long as they keep making these I'll keep wearing them!!

Bought for a teenager

It's a NorthFace jacket! Runs a little small The young adults love this brand; it's a fad!

Didn't perform

Did not keep me warm in 22⁰ weather with no wind. This is one of your warmest coats?

I'll be purchasing different colors

I recently purchased The North Face Men's 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket, and after wearing it for a while, I can confidently say it lives up to the hype The jacket has a boxy, vintage-inspired fit, staying true to its 90s heritage. It looks great with both casual and outdoor outfits, making it a versatile piece for everyday wear. I went with my usual size, and it fits comfortably with room for layering underneath. If you prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down. Packed with 700-fill goose down, this jacket is impressively warm without feeling overly bulky. It holds up well against cold temperatures, even in windy conditions. The stowable hood is a great addition, offering extra protection when needed. The outer shell is made of ripstop nylon with a water-repellent finish, making it both durable and resistant to light rain or snow. The quality feels premium, and I expect this jacket to last for years.

great jacket

All around good jacket, the one flaw is the hood. I wish the hood matched the rest of the jacket.

Long enough and perfect for the slopes

Love this jacket. I was worried about the reports that it's "short" I'm 5'9" with a longer torso and short legs(30-32 inseam) and the jacket came to just below my belt line. It's definitely a jacket for car camping, walks around town, etc. This ISN'T a summit series jacket and is defiantly not built as a belay jacket which I think some get confused. For me, after hitting the slopes and a bit sweaty, I pull this out of my pack, fluff it up(it folds into its own pocket and packs very small) and put it on going in and out of the lodge before the sweat get cold and drops my body temp.
