The North Face 1996 Ecco Nuptse Padded Jacket 'Brown'

The North Face 1996 Eco Nuptse Jacket Brown is an elevated take on a modern classic that defines cold‑weather performance with sustainability at its core. Drawing from The North Face’s heritage in alpine exploration, the 1996 Eco Nuptse Jacket honours the brand’s iconic 1996 Nuptse silhouette — a puff jacket that revolutionised outdoor gear with its distinctive oversized baffles and unmatched thermal efficiency — while integrating recycled materials to reduce environmental impact. Overview Crafted with 700‑fill recycled down insulation, this Brown iteration delivers high warmth‑to‑weight performance suited for both urban and mountain climates, compressing easily into its own pocket for travel convenience. Its shell and lining are made from recycled nylon ripstop with a non‑PFC durable water repellent finish, giving the jacket a lasting resistance to moisture and wear while promoting eco‑conscious design. The relaxed, boxy silhouette, paired with a stowable three‑piece hood and VISLON® zipper, merges practical function with street‑ready style. Signature white embroidered branding on the chest and back shoulder enhances its visual identity, and secure zip hand pockets balance utility with seasonal comfort. Key Highlights Heritage Performance Design: Inspired by the legendary 1996 Nuptse silhouette that blended technical mountaineering with lifestyle appeal. Sustainable Warmth: Filled with 700‑fill recycled down for efficient insulation and packability in cold conditions. Recycled Construction: Body, overlay, and lining use recycled fabrics with a non‑PFC DWR finish for moisture resistance and reduced environmental footprint.
