Great coat, super light and versatile
I cannot speak highly enough about this coat. I have had it for a few weeks now and am overall extremely pleased. Although at first I was slightly put off by its bulkiness, it is EXTREMELY LIGHT and versatile. I would recommend it to anyone.

nice jacket
Got it for my dad. Everything looks perfect, except for it doesn't have the inner zip pocket, which is contradictory to the specifications. He thinks the pocket is a must-have for him, so I have to return it.

Great coat!
I bought this coat for my teen and he loves it! He said it's light weight (Not bulky) but warm. He loves the jacket so much he wants the Nuptse vest too!

Good light jacket
Light and warm, easy to pack, great down jacket from TNF.
Size is a little big, color is right to the picture.
700 fill feels warmer than most 900 fill ones.
Thought a bit expensive. Better if hoody.

Absolutely Perfect!
I bought this jacket for my boyfriend after he had fought me for years on converting to a "puffy" coat for the harsh New England winters. Last year, I bought him a lighter weight down coat from a local "sale" store that doesn't allow returns, but at $20.00 for the coat, I figured what the heck!
While he still loves that coat, he definitely needed something warmer and more durable for shoveling snow and dealing with the ridiculous cold we experience in New England. I bought him this coat for Christmas this year, and he has yet to take it off. Super cozy, very warm, and not bulky at all. He's 6'5, 240 lbs, so I ordered him an XL and it fits perfectly. It doesn't "swallow him up" like the old school down coats do, and he has plenty of room to wear a hoody under it.
Maybe next year, Santa will bring me the long down coat!

Recommended!
It was around 30F in San Jose in the morning. I am happy that I got this one. It kept me warm when I went out in the morning to take a walk. Also during the day and in the evening I can wear it - this jacket just looks great! It is very light, puts no burden on me.

Great coat
I bought this coat for my boyfriend who is hard to fit. He's very muscular, with a broad back and and a bit of a tummy. To his surprise, the coat fits perfectly (5'9" 230 pounds). He loves the lightweight feel of this coat...it keeps him very warm without having to add any layers. The coat looks great on him and surprisingly isn't so bulky that it makes him bigger than he is (it probably helps that I got the coat in black). He's only been wearing the coat for a couple of weeks, but it does seem very durable (which is my experience with North Face -- both my 2 1/2 year old and I have North Face down coats). He also likes the waist and wrist adjustments on the coat. His only complaint is the lack of internal pockets on this coat.

Altrec is the Best
My 14 year old son is 6'2 and travels alot with his basketball team. The weather has been inconsistent and he has been able to wear the coat during the inconsistent weather. He has not been too hot or cold at all. He was very excited to get the coat and thought the coat would not fit his long arms, but it was an excellent fit. A coat we will appreciate when it gets colder and we want to keep our athlete warm!! The price was fantastic and the service swift!!

Excellent Jacket
One great thing about Altrec.com is that they always have great deals on great products. I would recommend this jacket to anyone looking for a warm comfortable jacket for the winter.

Worth the money
I recently purchased this product and love it! It's slightly a size too big (for me), so I will probably have to return it for a smaller size. Other than that, I recommend this product anyone who needs a warm jacket for the winter.

No Longer Cold
After carefully scrutinizing multiple reviews and videos on various websites, I decided to purchase The North Face Nuptse 2 jacket. I am impressed. I annotated used to the appearance of a down jacket, but it is definitely warm! I live in Alabama where the majority of our weather is comfortable with the occasional cold spells. So far this jacket has secured warmth on 30° weather. My only complaint is that it seems to run a little big. I look very big when using the jacket's zip on capability with The North Face Atlas Triclimate jacket in a size large. I will most likely trade for a medium. I am 5'11" and 185. Buy this jacket!

Old school down jacket still a winner
I bought my first down jacket from North Face in the 1970s and it is still in service, tucked away in my camper van for those days or nights when the temperature drops below freezing. Since then style in down jackets has changed. All the other down jackets I have bought in recent years have a thinner, more athletic cut, are much lighter, less resistant to tearing, and intended as a middle layer between a lightweight inner layer and a protective shell outside. The Nuptse 2 is an old school, stand alone, down jacket. With a pound and a half of high quality down, it will keep you warm on the very coldest days. It is roomy enough to throw on over a wool sweater or fleece jacket. The material is more resistant to damage from the elements, so you don’t need an outer shell unless you are expecting a downpour. You may look like the Michelin man -- the cut is not that much snugger than earlier versions -- but you will have a jacket that will keep you warm, all by itself, whatever other layers you may be wearing at the time, in the coldest climates you are likely to encounter. I like my lightweight down jackets, especially those from Marmot and Patagonia, but I also really like having one jacket that I can throw on anytime, with no fuss, and that I know will keep me warm in the coldest temperatures even when I am not working up a sweat.

Another good buy
Bought one of these jackets 6 years ago and lasted me until now. Keeps me warm in any weather whether in windy conditions or even when I was up in the mountains skiing. I would still recommend you stray on an additional layer of water repellant for those heavy rainy days. Bought this new one as a gift.

Take on Old Man Winter
This is my first and only down jacket. If it's snowing and windy outside, this is the first thing to come out of my closet. It keeps you warm and toasty. (Layering has almost become optional.) And it's lightweight!
That being said... this is jacket is not particularly suited for rain. Rainwater will eventually seep in through the seams given enough wind/water/time into your inner layer. (In my case, my dress shirt...)
Add a waterproof shell, a hat, & a pair of mittens/gloves and you are good to go!
