1996. You might remember it as the year No Diggity was released or Independence Day hit cinemas, but we’ll remember it as the year
The North Face launched the original of this
1996 Retro Nuptse shell jacket. It’s not the same as the one we pulled on in the 90s but it comes with some of the trappings of that old favourite – note the oversized quilted pads, contrast panel across the shoulders and pack-away hood. Only this time, it comes cropped and with a sleek glossy finish.
