The North Face Summit Nuptse Women's Jacket brings the iconic Nuptse silhouette to the mountain with serious high-fill down. Premium water-resistant down and a baffle construction designed to reduce cold spots deliver big warmth in a packable, lightweight jacket. It's an alpine-ready puffy with true mountaineering pedigree.

Why we like it:

The down is the story; it's a high-fill, water-repellent down that keeps lofting even in damp conditions, paired with a cloud-baffle construction that cuts the cold spots typical of stitched-through puffies. It stuffs into its own sack for the pack.

Features and Functions:

Warmth comes from 800-fill ProDown with a water-repellent, RDS-certified treatment, supported by CLOUD DOWN construction that reduces cold spots and boosts packability, plus 80g HEATSEEKER synthetic insulation in the draft flap. The ultralight shell uses 15D recycled nylon with a non-PFC DWR finish and Spectra ripstop reinforcement at the yoke, collar, and hood. A packable, helmet-compatible hood, a two-way YKK VISLON front zip with an insulated internal draft flap, secure-zip hand pockets, and FLASHDRY stretch-knit cuffs finish it, at about 473 grams with a stuffsack included.

Fit and Sizing:

A regular fit layers over a baselayer or midlayer with room to move. It works as a standalone jacket or a warm layer under a shell. True to size.

Bottom Line:

This is a high-performance down jacket, best for cold belays, alpine starts, and winter days when warmth-to-weight matters most. It layers under a shell or stands alone in dry cold. A packable powerhouse for the mountains.
