The North Face Men's Nuptse 2 Jacket

So light you don't believe its real
April 02, 2012

I purchased a small Nuptse2 in black, it looks great. Although a little poofy, but the rectangular blocks makes you look slim and tall with fashion. The jacket itself is extremely warm, but if you don't wrap your wrists with its velcro, wind chills may go seep in. The tie straps that tighten your waist are very well hidden underneath the jacket. Easily one of the best purchases I have ever made.

Best purchase ever great jacket very light, durable and great price..............................................................love it...........................

very good for the price
March 27, 2012

a good quality down jacket. no hood so it is only for nicer days. needs media pockets to make it a perfect winter fit. fit is good and loose for sweater. unstructered so may squash into a small sack. feels warm enough

March 26, 2012

It's very warm and comfortable but a little bit short than I expected. It is very good for cold states with a lot of snow like CO, but in California, I don't think I need it very often, but everyone should have one just in case.

Nuptse 2 Jacket is AWESOME!
March 21, 2012

I want to start this review off on the right foot: here in Boston, MA we have had a really mild winter this season. It was *last* year's winter that motivated me to buy the Nupste 2. I have read the other reviews for this jacket. Some of the criticisms are warranted: there are indeed only two hand pockets, one of which can be used to stow the jacket. That said, I can't really see, given the design of the jacket, how North Face can add more pockets without affecting its look and function. Personally I have addressed the issue of "waterproofing" that other reviews have brought up about this jacket. I am fortunate enough to own a shell #the North Face's "Libre Triclimate", should anyone want to know -- another fine jacket# so that I may zip the Nuptse 2 inside the shell. The ability to zip the Nupste 2 into a shell, or go out and about without the shell, as the weather dictates, is another great selling point. Either way, you're sure to be warm and that's the whole point. In short, you will not be dissapointed with the Nuptse 2 jacket. I highly recommend it.

Good prodcut

Extremely light product to keep you warmer in the severe cold weather, suitable for people live in East Coast. It could be a great gift for yourself, friend and family.

Tried the competitor-came back!
March 15, 2012

The reason this jacket gets a great review is that it is made so well. The fabric holds up to alot of activity like throwing hay for my horse and clearing snow and playing with my over zealous black lab! The competitors jacket (more $) tore and ripped. Never leaving NF again.

Warm
March 14, 2012

Bought this for my brother, a little bit bulky, but very warm. Very good quality, would recommend to other friends. Great value for the product. My brother is 5"5, 154lb, Size M fit him well, but still wish can be a little bit small, but size S is a little bit too tight.

Great coat, super light and versatile
January 20, 2012

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
January 15, 2012

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!
January 15, 2012

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
January 12, 2012

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.

Great jacket!
January 12, 2012

I've only had this jacket for a week but already I'm loving it. Its light, its warm and it looks good! The fit is pretty consistent with the sizing charts. Its also waterproof!

Absolutely Perfect!
January 11, 2012

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.

January 09, 2012

Great Deal!! can't complain at all! The jacket seems to be very warm, especially for a midwestern like me. Highly recommneded for anyone looking for a warm coat

Great coat
January 08, 2012

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
January 08, 2012

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
January 07, 2012

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
January 06, 2012

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
January 05, 2012

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
January 01, 2012

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
December 30, 2011

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.

Nice&Warm-Nuptse 2 Jackets
December 24, 2011

This is my scond jacket from The North Face. I bought it from altrc.com. It's really comfortable and warm for cold winter weather.I like The north face band so much .even my wife have 5 The north face jackets already,but she still want buy some more.

Take on Old Man Winter
December 18, 2011

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!

Nuptse Down Jacket is a Must Have Essential
September 09, 2011

This down jacket is a must have essential for all mountain sports, backcountry, and alpine travel, and for those who want to stay warm anytime. It is by far one of the most coveted and well made products out there. The down fill is 700+ goose down. The jacket works superbly in cold weather. When zipped into a North Face shell, the combination is perfect for super cold conditions. I have both a Denali and Nuptse and use them for different conditions inside my North Face Varius Guide Jacket. My wife "borrows" my Nuptse for evening sporting events to stay warm in the stadium! She loves the way it keeps her toasty on even the coldest nights. (Thought that was my job!) Because this is a high end item, you truly get what you pay for, and North Face guarantees their products for life. This is an essential must have for serious backcountry users and for times when you want to stay really warm when it is miserably cold. The jacket will stuff into its inside pocket and packs down light and small. Light weight - super warm - North Face Lifetime quality. A Must have Essential.

I like very much the jacket and its so warm for the hard cold here in Chile. The price is so good and the post service and customer services works great! GOOD JOB!

Great Product!
July 27, 2011

I absolutely love this jacket! I bought this after trying on my buddies standing around in -20 C weather here in Norway. And let me tell you the beer in my bottle froze before I even experienced any chill. This Jacket is a must. I was so pleased with it that I bought one, as well as a bunch of other North Face Gear to have a winter system.

The best jacket
June 29, 2011

The best piece of gear I have ever bought. Even though I only paid nearly half-price for this piece, I would not feel bad paying full price. I bought this jacket for my brother who lives in argentina, where right now is doing 43°f, and he told me this is the best gift in the wold... Dont think about it, buy it now...

June 20, 2011

Excellent jacket, great product, high quality, light weight. Very confortable jacket, great performance at cold weather, you can wear just with a t-shirt at 36 °F.

Excellent Product Ever

This product is excellent and I received it fast. I love the quality and the color. I recommended this website and this product to buy any jacket. The size is correct. Is warm how I expected. Love color. Great price.

Best in Patagonia, Southern Chile
May 24, 2011

Brought the jacket to Southern Chile, great response, comfort and performance. tried ti in windy days,, rain, snow, cold and nice weather. Thanks North Face!!

May 04, 2011

This is not the first time I purchase through Altrec, I bought many items and mostly Northface. The quality of this jacket is excellent, because the quality is exactly match the description and very comfort as well at all time. Shipping is very fast . Highly Recommend.

March 03, 2011

This was purchased for my son who is going to China to live for a year. It appears to be well made and warm. For a jacket that protects to such low temperatures it is scantily sized. It should be a bit longer to protect the lower back. It runs small in general.

February 13, 2011

I bought this in during the coldest part of our Wisconsin winter. It is the best to keep out the chilling winds of -30 below when I walk! Thanks Altrec!

Jacket does the job.
February 04, 2011

We've had a brutal winter in New England this year. This jacket keeps me warm and dry. Being outside is unavoidable with such a tremendous amount of snowfall. The jacket is lightweight, comfortable and solid. I can move around easily and stay warm without having tons of layers of clothing underneath the jacket. North Face never disappoints.

Favorite Coat
January 25, 2011

I love the look, style, and functionality of this coat. I bought it for my boyfriend and he loves it! It gives him the warmth he wants while still looking good.
