The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Teal

The Original Puffer. In Teal.

The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Teal is the icon where blue meets green — a deep, mineral teal that brings a natural, water-adjacent depth to the Nuptse's legendary silhouette that neither colour alone could achieve. The same faithfully reissued 1996 construction — the 700-fill goose down, the signature oversized baffles, the authentic panelling — in a tone that feels as though it was pulled from a glacial lake at altitude: rich, uncommon, and entirely unlike anything else in the range. The Nuptse in teal is for those who find the most interesting colours are the ones that refuse to be easily named.

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 most mineralic and naturally evocative colourway
• Deep Teal Colourway: A rich, blue-green tone that occupies its own singular territory in the colour spectrum — deeper than a mid-blue, cooler than green, and more complex than either, with a depth and character that rewards attention the longer it is worn
• Authentic 1996 Design: Faithfully reissued from the original 1996 pattern — the boxy silhouette, bold panelling, and oversized baffle construction in the colourway that brings the most natural and mineralic depth to the Nuptse's iconic form
• 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 colour that gives it its most naturally complex and evocative expression
• Packable Design: Stuffs into its own chest pocket for compact storage — the Nuptse's legendary practicality in the most mineralic and uncommon colourway in the range
• Embroidered North Face Branding: The heritage Half Dome logo and original Nuptse branding — detailing that reads with a cool, deep precision against the teal shell

The original. In teal. Naturally uncommon — the North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Teal is the most mineralic and atmospherically distinctive colourway of the most culturally significant jacket ever made, for those who are drawn to colours that carry the depth and complexity of the natural world.
