Excellent product 👌. I'm from Minnesota where it's super cold & taps into the negative 20-30's. I want a jacket that was efficient but yet stylish & this jacket was.juat exactly that. Super warm, keeps me dry also have received multiple compliments on it.

The jacket is amazing! Absolutely in love it. I was worried it might be too light to wear in cold temperatures and I could not have been more wrong. It is lightweight yet keeps me very warm in the cold but also doesn't overheat me when inside places. Absolutely is my go-to jacket now!

Never out of style in cold winter climates. Almost as good as being under your comforter in bed on cold days. Fits like it's 1995 again. I'm slim so I always size down with north face. The rule hasn't failed me.

Great color, awesome pattern. Cant go wrong with a retro Nuptse, classic coat. It's a puffy coat that doesn't feel sloppy and always looks clean and smart. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new casual winter coat.
Love this product. At first I was worried that it might fit too snug but the Medium fits perfect and leaves a ton of room for me to wear a hoodie underneath. I'm about a medium build.It was an extra treat to find that there is a light hood zipped in the collar so this is also a great jacket for a rainy day.Plenty of pockets, I love the inside pocket that is big enough to fit my 13 Pro Max and the jacket is very warm while still being very lightweight.
I received this a few days ago and it is true to size XS. I was afraid this jacket would look a little too puffy but it looks great. I love how the hood can be easily hidden when it’s not raining. So far I’ve used it in light to normal rain and it’s managed to not soak through, it also dries very quick when hung up inside. I was surprised by how warm the jacket is it’s -1 degrees at the moment and this jacket is perfect for the cold whether. The pockets are spacious and secure also.
Almost as comfy as a goose down comforter but if you gotta get out of bed this is the next best thing. Size down is my rule for TNF, rule applied to this jacket as well. Classic coat that may fade with trends but will never go out of style.
The jacket is very puffy as you would expect, even a bit more so than the pictures depict. I'm 5' 10" and typically wear between a Medium or Small in jackets but since this is really relaxed, I chose the Small. It fits great but the waist still seems a bit large to me. The bungee cables on the left and right help pull it closer. This coat is really warm, even for Chicago winters. I wouldn't recommend this for subzero temps without layers, but it otherwise fits my needs.
I love the Retro Nuptses, this is my 4th or 5th. Been wanting this green color forever and it finally came around in this awesome print. It's a great coat for casual winter stuff, looks super smart and clean but I would probably go with something with a legitimate hood and a little more length in long term freezing conditions.
Everything deserves 5 star rating from ordering, shipping, receiving, and finally unboxing my new North Face Nuptse Jacket . This is my second one that I have and highly recommend for the warmth plus it's a very light jacket. Considering it's the 700 but you don't feel like you're being weighed down. Fits exactly to size and I plan to order my next one for my collection from Snipes.
