This is an iconic jacket thanks to its design and a great selection of colours. 700 down fill power the jacket has means it’s a great down jacket, but not excellent (as jackets with 800 down power). One thing I dislike is we don’t know the weight of the down inside the jacket so I don’t think it’s that extra warm honestly. -10 or -15C max. Also it’s a rather cropped jacket so I am worried I will have to tuck my T-shirt’s and sweaters in which wouldn’t be comfortable. I just tried it on once and I am considering returning. I consider one size larger but I am worried it will be baggy. It’s more of a fashion jacket than practical one for Canadian winter.

Great hard-to-find down jacket. I love the styling and convenience of being able to stuff the whole jacket into its own pocket. Great for air travel from warm climates to cold climates and back. Through Nordstrom, I was able to find the right color and size that I wanted at an excellent price. This isn't always the case with others - even at North Face's own stores!

Bought this jacket for my daughter. She loves to borrow my original Nuptse jacket (which is still going strong from the 90's!!) for cold adventures. This jacket is stylish and packable. It's on the shorter side, which she prefers, but if you want your bottom to stay cozy, warm too, better pick a different length jacket. The best thing is how incredibly warm it keeps you!

I absolutely love this jacket, it fits PERFECTLY and looks amazing. It has a slight cropped design (not too much) which looks stylish and allows me to pair it with hoodies, sweatshirts and other tops really well. The arm length also fits perfectly. The jacket keeps me really warm and feels so comfortable which is great for British weather which tends to be unpredictable. The pockets are perfectly sized and allow you to put your hands in to keep them warm if it gets too cold. The hidden hood which can be concealed and removed is one of the best features as it protects you from the rain/weather but doesn't stick out and ruin the design. The jacket's unique design is INSTANTLY recognisable and exudes style. Overall, Im extremely happy with the jacket and know that I ... MoreI absolutely love this jacket, it fits PERFECTLY and looks amazing.

The coat looks great. I was after this specific one from north face because it has the puffy 90's appearance with the strong logo on back & front. Although its made from down its not warm enough by itself for winter which i found a bit disappointing, im sure my previous one was warmer on its own. Kind of defeats the purpose of buying it if you still need to boost it with multiple layers. Sizes also run smaller than normal so id upgrade to XL if you fit medium/large usually
Basically i just discovered this jacket and I'm so glad i did! I love it! It's very comfy, very stylish, great for chilling in and just a great overall jacket to own! The only bad thing is.. it's kinda pricey, but that's pretty much it. I totally plan to buy a couple or few more jackets over time soon! I would recommend it and no wonder it's a best seller! Such a great, wonderful jacket!
I would have liked this jacket to be good. It’s stylish with nice color schemes, has deep pockets, and is fairly warm. But the sleeves are too short (even in Large when I normally wear Medium in North Face coats), the hem is too high, and the “hood” is simply a piece of nylon that unfolds out of the collar. For that reason alone, this coat is strictly a shoulder season (Spring/Fall) coat. The hood is a nice sun protector but you’ll need a warm hat in Winter. A disappointing coat.
I brought the jacket for my son as his everyday winter jacket. We live in Winnipeg, MB where the winter weather can be as low as -30 to -35 C during the day. My son walks to school and needs a well insulated jacket to keep him warm. He was very happy with his last North Face Jacket. We returned the Nuptse jacket because my son found the length of the jacket was too short. Other than the jacket length there were no other concerns.
I had been debating to buy this jacket for almost a year and was afraid to spend the money but I finally did and I am so glad that I did, the quality is amazing and the jacket is actually so warm. I live in Chicago and I can wear it with just a t-shirt under and feel warm. This looks so cute with a hoodie underneath for a streetwear look. The length is so good. I hate jackets that cover your butt but most cropped jackets aren't practical for everyday use because they are too short and look awkward with clothes under. I am 5' 9'' and this sits right above my hips. the logo is nice and big and makes the jacket pop (: I usually am a medium but I got a size small so it wouldn't be too bulky and it fits perfect. Also for tall girls the sleeves are a great length and ... MoreI had been debating to buy this jacket for almost a year and was afraid to spend the money but I finally did and I am so glad that I did, the quality is amazing and the jacket is actually so warm.

Bought the jacket 3 months ago for the colder weather. Great jacket for warmth and comfort and fitting.Very annoying to constantly have feathers/down poking through the stitching throughout the jacket.Very easily catches. Once you get a catch on the fabric it is then difficult to fix, I have had to snip the feathers sticking out and push back through with a needle.As I love the jacket and wear it quite regularly it’s annoying seeing the small defects on it. Not sure how long I’ll get out of this. For the price, I’d expect a little better.
