What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I reach for this jacket when I want serious warmth but still care about style. The cropped cut stands out without sacrificing insulation, and the 700-fill down traps heat better than you’d expect for something this lightweight. It’s my go-to for city winters, après plans, and cold travel days when a long parka feels like overkill." We love how the Nuptse Short Jacket brings unmistakable heritage style into everyday winter wear. Designed by The North Face, this cropped puffy delivers bold looks with dependable warmth, making it a favorite for cold-weather walks, après-ski hangouts, and city days that don’t slow down for winter. The relaxed fit and shorter length give it a modern edge that pairs just as easily with denim as it does with technical layers. Behind the style, this jacket packs serious insulation. The recycled ripstop shell is tough enough for daily wear and treated with a PFC-free water repellent to shed light snow and drizzle. Inside, 700-fill responsibly sourced goose down provides lofty, packable warmth, while the adjustable drawcord hem seals out drafts and lets us dial in the fit when temperatures drop.
