The North Face Nuptse 1996 Retro Puffer Jacket

R 6,700.00 ZAR

Description:
Shell: Metallic silver/chrome ripstop nylon with black shoulders + collar. That shiny chrome finish reflects light hard - it’s one of the boldest Nuptse colorways. Horizontal baffle stitching = classic "marshmallow" puffy look. Water-resistant + windproof.
Insulation: 700-fill down + synthetic blend. TNF Nuptse = warm but lightweight. Big baffles trap heat without making it heavy. Rated for real winter cold.
Logo: White "The North Face" half-dome logo on left chest. Black sleeve patch with white TNF text on left arm for contrast. Clean branding.
Details: High stand collar, full-zip front with storm flap. 2 zip hand pockets with TNF zip pulls. Elastic cuffs + adjustable hem to seal in heat. Boxy/oversized fit - it’s meant to be worn big.
Vibe: Futuristic + loud. The chrome silver + black combo is a statement piece. Goes crazy with all-black fits, cargos, TNs. "Chrome Nuptse" is a grail in SA/UK streetwear. Not for subtle looks - this one gets noticed.
