Great quality and super warm
I bought this jacket for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. The quality is really nice and it keeps her very warm without feeling too heavy. The fit is great and it looks exactly like the pictures online. Definitely a great purchase and I would buy it again.

I won't be buying direct from north face ever again.
You didn't even send me the right jacket and refused to send me the correct one.

96 was a great year for me
I love this jacket!! Overall I give it 5 stars!!! This review only has 4 because the color of the metal pink is a bit more violet pink than light pink like it looks. It's still gorgeous and WARM!!

amazing winter jacket 2nd x purchase
This is the second time I am purchasing this exact jacket!!! It has been an incredible perfect winter coat for my kid who is on the east coast during these crazy winter storms. Perfectly warm and toast even some weather repellent while being comfortable and easy to live in. Highly recommend!

Favorite Winter Jacket, I have 2!
I live in Minnesota, so having a good winter jacket is pretty essential. In the past, I have struggled to find a jacket that is both warm enough, and looks good too; fortunately, the 1996 Nuptse is both! Usually, most styles don't end up looking very flattering on me (I currently wear XL)- they look too tight and puffy at the same time, or I'm drowning in them... I love how this style has the "just-right" oversize look- It's looser fit and comfortable, but still looks great. I bought a pink one last year, and this year because I loved the style so much, I bought it in blue! I have a good feeling I will be wearing them for years to come!

So cute and so warm!
I've been wearing this everyday and it keeps me so warm even when it's less than 10° outside! I love everything about this jacket
