Should You Buy The North Face Retro 1996 Nuptse ? Complete Review and Breakdown (Canadian Winter)

[@bradkerr1365]

I am 5' 10" about 185 lbs and bought the large in the nupste jacket. I have long arms and don't like to be constricted when I cross them. The large follows your torso very well, so it fits about the same as the medium , yet has that bit of extra sleeve length. Non down filled products do tend to show extra size and bulk when worn. It does not look too bulky compared with the medium. These down jackets were never designed to be worn alone in wet conditions. They fit under a goretex shell when the temperature is near or above freezing. The first time I used my nupste jacket was at work during a cold snap in the Wasatch range in Utah. The temperature was near zero along with a wind. The jacket worked perfectly. One added point about anything in the retro line. They went back to the old sizing which was gender specific. If you usually wear a large in most north face clothing, try to drop down to a medium for the same fit. The sizing is pretty inconsistent so it is always a good idea to at least try on something similar in a store. Josh, check on the Lhoste jacket. It is essentially the same jacket with a little different look. My medium lhotse is a bit longer than my large Nupste. A large Lhotse may be perfect for you. Yeah, I live near an outlet so I have a few spares lol.

Thanks for the video! I just bought a size M and I also feel it’s kinda short, but I preferred the more fitted size as compared to the size L (I’m 178 cm tall)

Thanks for commenting and watching brother! And totally agree. It’s just a short coat period, I think you made the right decision with the medium. Hope you’re enjoying the Nuptse (:

@@Joshua88Graham hey can it be used for rubbing back to back with another person wearing one

[@АлександрТретьяков-б5н]

It's not quite short, it's extremely short. They produce it from year to year and still didn't guess to add a few cm at least. It work's only if you are under 175cm and with hoodie or sweatshirt underneath of course.

[@Joshua88Graham]

Very well said. It’s too bad they didn’t make it longer. The HMLYN is a much better option as well. I guess the short wide look was a 90’s thing, but it definitely makes this coat a tough one to recommend for someone’s main coat.

[@325iaddict]

It once WAS a bit longer! The 1996 retro Nuptse, of which I have at least 3 in size XL, is shorter than one bought in, let's say, the year 2000 or before.

[@ebbebak2415]

Great video. I have this in black and in purple i really like them. I always use the elastic cords at the bottom of the jackets to make them so short as possible.

[@lexesco]

They seem to be practically sold out everywhere in every color over here in Europe

[@Joshua88Graham]

Yea, they are pretty much sold out for Canada and N.America too. Very tough to get at the moment :/

[@timmomeyer1626]

Yes, they are still in high demand - even though it is more than 25 years ago it was created. Originally designed for rock climbers etc. it was adopted for use in the city a long time ago. I bought my first one in 1997 after I saw practically every climber wearing one. The rest is history. I now own dozens of them, in a wide variety of colors, sizes and generations. Today, it's more a multi-purpose jacket than ever: still, climbers see a good, warm, stowable jacket while the young generation see it as a fashion jacket. It truly is a NEARLY all-purpose jacket. The only thing you shouldn't do with it is use it in the rain! For that purpose, TNF created the Gotham jacket and the McMurdo parka (which, of course, are also in my collection).

[@burgos041]

I've been checking their site and I have a feeling they wouldn't restock it till next fall. Pretty much at this point, they're just trying to sell their remaining stock

[@jasongarfield6489]

I purchased the 1996 version (brown color). Very nice coat. I'd recommend it to a friend without a doubt. The only thing I'd say about this coat in regards to something it lacks is the coat material being unable to resist water. I'd recommend that you avoid wearing it in rainy/wet conditions because it seems to me that it can become less appealing if it gets wet often. Other than that, it is a great purchase.

[@sebastianmcmahon1782]

When it rains , water gets through the shoulder stitching, I don’t know if this is normal so I thinking of returning it

[@ebbebak2415]

I have several puffer jackets (Peak performance 2L down parka, Peak performance frost down oversized jacket, North Face Retro Nuptse, Haglöfs Puffy Mimic Hood, North Face 1994 Retro Himalayan, Tindur down jacket from 66north) all cool puffer jackets but there are still that "something" about the Retro Nuptse from The North Face. A bigger size that normal, use the elastic cords at the bottom to make it cropped and boxy. You MUST try it!!

Great video, I was worried about the length being short and you’ve confirmed my suspicions, thanks!

[@Errcyco]

I got my first one in 1999 and it stayed either me three long years living out deep in the woods of Dilwyn, VA. It was brutal but that jacket kept me warm. The gray sleeves were stained with red-clay and it had stains from sap but never quit working. That and an OG Denali fleece kept me alive basically. Great jacket. I won’t buy another down jacket without a hood though. After decades of this.. a hood ads about 50% more warmth and absolutely worth it I think. Good review. These will be the nicest weekend warriors jacket you ever buy, or can last a solid five to ten years of hiking abuse.

I’m going to Ukraine in December. Do you recommend this coat or the Gotham iii. I would want a hoodie I can wear when I come back to NYC too because I live here and winters get cold.

[@Joshua88Graham]

It depends on how am you are going to use it. Both coats will keep you warm, but I always say - if you’re looking for your main winter coat, go for the Gotham. It’s too to bottom one of the best winter coats out there. If you want something for the winter for style, and you have another winter coat that’s more rugged, go for the Nuptse. You may have to go up a size with the Nuptse if you want to agh thicker layers. With the Gotham you won’t have as much issues if you wanna wear a hoodie underneath. If you need anything else just shoot me a message (: Hope that helped a bit !

Amazing video I have a question I’m like 5,1 and waisted 33 should I get a small?

[@Joshua88Graham]

Hey there! Do you know your chest size? A small would probably make most sense, but these coats don’t change much in length whether going up or down sizes, it’s more so in width. So Unless you have a chest size over 38-39, I’d say go with a small.

Hey there Adesh, thanks for stopping by! Whereabouts in Canada do you live? I think in terms of warmth, it would be warm enough. But not as wind or water resistant as the Gotham 3. If I had to recommend a coat to get you through anything (I live in Canada too), I’d recommend the Gotham over this. But the Nuptse is a very warm coat. Especially if you pair it with a sweater underneath

They are basically the exact same spec's, just a different style. Check out this website www.thelasthunt.com/ The offseason is coming up and they regularly have both those coats on sale for under 240 bucks. Also check out this coat - www.columbiasportswear.ca/en/p/mens-winter-rebellion-down-parka-1864331.html Very Good as well. For gloves and hats, honestly if you go to a store called marks work warehouse. You can get some really nice gloves/hats there that wont be crazy expensive. And yes the Timberlands are awesome boots, just not very warm. So you will need some really nice warm socks if you go that route. But they are waterproof so paired with some really warm thermal socks (which you can get at marks work warehouse) they should be good. Some really warm boots that are great for walking around or being out are these ones www.columbiasportswear.ca/en/p/mens-winter-rebellion-down-parka-1864331.html Not as stylish lool, but they are the total package.

[@Joshua88Graham]

Hey brother, Happy new year! Sadly this coat is shorter than average :/ I’m 6 feet 175-180 ish. I probably should have gone with a large. So for you I would start at an XL just based on your height. I know it’s tough when you’re tall but also skinny or athletic. But with this I honestly think a large would be way too short. Like in my vid, even a large on me when I stretch up has a lot of stomach showing. But not a huge difference in puffiness. This is a puffer coat so I don’t think it’s gonna be anything crazy on your frame even if you choose an xl. Hope that helps a bit!

I have the same dilemma. I am 193cm tall but less than 70kg in weight. REALLY skinny! I need an XL, otherwise the sleeves are too short, and YES, the shoulders are in fact too wide, that's the price I have to pay. Shoulder-wise, a large would do perfectly.

I think the Patagonia you have is definitely better in some areas except maybe the current trends fashion aspect (as the retro Nuptse is a hot ticket item). The fill power of down of your Patagonia coat is more, but its lighter so it most likely wont be as warm. The hood in the Patagonia will be more robust and warmer though. Yours is windproof and the Nuptse is not. So they both do things better and worse. But in terms of a "go to everything" winter coat. I wouldn't put the Nupste in that category.

[@Joshua88Graham]

Hey there Mike! Thanks for stopping by the channel and for watching the video. The warranty does not cover rips - unless there is a tear due to a defect. Here is what TNF states : If a product ever fails due to a manufacturing defect, even after extended use, we will repair the product, without charge, or replace it, at our discretion. This warranty does not cover damage caused by accident, improper care, negligence, normal wear and tear, or the natural breakdown of colors and materials over extended time and use. Damage not covered under warranty will be repaired for a reasonable rate and a fee will be charged for return shipping -- And in regards to the down fill drooping or falling out, none of my north face coats have experienced anything like that yet. And they have had a good bit of use over a few winters up here. Hope that helps ya brother!

man i am 175 cm and 62 kg should i buy a Large or a Medium? because i like the loose fit, but maybe Large is too much

[@Joshua88Graham]

Yea a large is going to be supper wide on you, I’d stick to a medium

[@chqnks1297]

I want to buy it but i hate when everyone has the Same jacket.

Everyone has a Nupste now it seems ha, very true.

[@g-o-d2056]

I have a question I am 1.75 and 65kg what size I can buy ?

[@Joshua88Graham]

Most likely, The small will probably fit you like the medium fits me. And the medium will fit you like the large fits me. So it will depend how you want to wear it, more fitted or baggy

[@laflame8187]

Hey I’m 6 foot 4 waist 32. Should I cop a xlarge or large

[@Joshua88Graham]

Hey brother! It’s a tough call because the coat is so short. I probably should have got a large myself. Since you’ve got 4 inches on me I would say go for the xlarge. I hope to be able to do a size comparison soon - but yea, based on your height I’d say xlarge.

is the down the arms of your too all got o the same place or is it just me. and is it lett down in the back. it feel lacking to the rest of it.

[@Joshua88Graham]

Hey Jon! I appreciate you taking a moment to share and leave a comment. So far I have not had any issues with the down sagging or falling into spots of the jacket. It's been holding up well. Though I have heard a couple ppl mention that issue, so I will keep an eye out for that. And if it does happen I will def make an update video. be safe and well out there

Where did u buy the jacket? Can u post a link please

Sadly this colorway is discontinued ):

[@Jaysin5506]

why does the right front pockeyt have 2 zippers? one on the inside, and the tag says "STOW" inside the lanyard thingy

[@Joshua88Graham]

You can actually pack the coat into the pocket for travel purposes . The coat can be pushed into the zipper and be packed up.

[@attaccodeigiganti7523]

Hi bro, im 5 foot 7 should i go for a large size? I dont like wearing short jacket

[@Joshua88Graham]

Sadly I think these coats are short no matter what. It’s just the style. But I’m 6 feet tall and I’m wearing a medium in this video. If you go for medium you will have much more length than I did. The Large would be to puffy I think

[@timmomeyer1626]

If you don't like wearing a short jacket, go for the McMurdo parka instead!

[@fatimamorales6725]

hi i’m 5’1 and i’m 96 pounds and i’m arm length is 21 should i buy the men extra small ? i’m super skinny tho

[@Joshua88Graham]

Hi there Fatima! Thanks for stopping by. Yea, I’d say you would have to go with a men’s XS or even an XXS. Seeing that you’re sub 100 pounds and thin. My gf needs a men’s small (she could probably even get away with an XS). And comparing your size to hers, I think you’d need either a men’s XS or XXS. I haven’t seen what an XXS looks like though in men’s yet :/ Do you usually like to layer under your coats with sweaters or hoodies? Or just wear a coat and a tee / top ?

Tell me about it :/ It is quite short. I have a video coming up comparing it to a size large. But yea, overall it def is a shorter style. Thanks for dropping by and commenting. Happy New Year!

[@timmomeyer1626]

You should take a look at the Gotham jacket, that may be very well what you are looking for. Don't like that fixed hood? If you can find one, the "Ice jacket" (essentially the short version of the McMurdo parka) would be the right one for you.

[@timmomeyer1626]

In my humble opinion, you took just one size too small. Sleeves are too short, and that explains also why the total jacket length is on the short side. I have dozens of Nuptses myself, so I know the problem of it being quite short. Most of the time I just go for a XL. Detail: the Retro 1996 Nuptse is even SHORTER than the original from let's say 1997.

[@325iaddict]

@@Joshua88Graham Yes, I know :-) I don't really have ONE "go to" coat, parka or jacket for winter. As I have 100+ down jackets, it's really up to the weather to dictate what kind of jacket I'm going to use, and then I can choose in that category whatever I like that day :-)

Medium

[@604yaga7]

I work outside so was planning to buy this for coming winter in Vancouver but the short length made me skeptical about it:(

Yea it’s a tough one for more rugged or wet outdoor use. Maybe take a look at the HMLYN? Similar puffer style but longer. And in my opinion a bit more rugged and more versatile

I doubt that is real. if it is it is probably second hand/vintage maybe.

[@Joshua88Graham]

Hey there Akashdeep! Happy New Year. I agree. It’s definitely either a fake or possibly used. You won’t see discounts like that from a store or retailer on North Face Products. The best site is one called thelasthunt.com - at best you may see 40 -50 percent reductions. So I would probably stay away from buying unless you’re okay buying a possible fake. And there are lots out there. Hope that helped! Be well and thanks for stopping by

You’re very welcome! I just posted a new video comparing a size medium and a large. Go take a look so you get an idea. As maybe that will help you a bit in your decision. But honestly I had to say - I’d say a size small. The coat fits a bit odd. But I enjoy a medium for myself. So I’d recommend a small for you.

You're better off going for a puffa from Mountain Equipment or RAB. Two genuine outdoor brands rather than some washed up previous outdoor brand turned urban clothing brand

You speak truth. NF has definitely gone more fashion than function in the modern era. Mountain Equipment still holds as one of the best winter wear lines out there. Appreciate the comment and sharing of your opinion brother. No disagreement here ha.
