The North Face Men's Summit Nuptse Jacket Green XL

What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying:"I wore the Summit Nuptse Jacket through a brutal cold snap this winter and the 700 fill down kept me warm standing around outside far longer than I expected. It packs down small enough that I stuffed the whole jacket into its own pocket for the walk home once the sun came out." Some jackets get designed for a spec sheet, and some get designed once and never really need to change, the Summit Nuptse Jacket belongs to the second category. Oversized baffles and a relaxed, boxy fit carry the same silhouette that made the original 1996 version a fixture on mountains and city blocks alike, proof that the right design doesn't need reinventing. 700 fill recycled waterfowl down delivers serious warmth while staying compressible enough to stuff into its own hand pocket, and a shiny ripstop body with taffeta overlay at the collar and yoke adds durability where the jacket takes the most wear. An internal hem drawcord and stowable three-piece hood let the fit adjust to the day, while Triclimate compatible cuffs mean it zips directly into a GORE-TEX Mountain Jacket shell when conditions call for a hard layer on top.
