Description of The North Face: Boy's Nuptse Jacket
Altrec.com Product Description:
Keep skiing, snowboarding and winter camping outings fun and comfortable with the 600+ down fill warmth of the Nuptse Jacket. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better-designed kid's jacket on the market, which makes sense when you consider that this Nuptse is a scaled-down version of one of the most successful adult jackets in the outdoor industry. The Nuptse is Zip-in compatible, which means that you can zip it into other shell garments made by The North Face. This Zip-in feature isn't mandatory in foul weather because the shell is made with waterproof and breathable two-ply HyVent™ Palisade 4.1 fabric, but you might want to augment the two-ply protection with something a little heavier for snowboarding and icy sliding. The 600+ down fill is high-quality, lightweight insulation designed to keep kids comfortable through a range of temperatures, making the Nuptse ideal for extended ski and snowboard school programs.
Specifications- Fabric : [body] Mini z-ripstop, downproof nylon taffeta
- Lining : Downproof nylon taffeta
- Insulation : 600 fill down
Technology- Zip-in Compatible
Zips into the inner zipper of The North Face® brand's shells to create a single cold-weather jacket.
Features- Our most versatile down jacket.
- Sewn-through construction
- Two zippered handwarmer pockets
- Full-length zipper with interior storm flap
- Reinforced stitching in high-stress areas
- Garment stows in pocket

Great Jacket with North Face Quality My son loves this jacket!! It is light weight but provides enough warmth on the play ground to endure well below freezing temperatures. It is nice looking and pratical.

Warmth and Style in One My son wanted the most hip jacket and I was looking for the warmest, most practical winter coat. The sensible solution was the North Face Boy's Nuptse Jacket.
I have comfort knowing my son will be wearing a fine down filled jacket. He's proud to be dressed so well!

Fantastic jacket, warm, but soooooo lightweight I bought 5 of these jackets. I'm a small woman and can wear kids stuff, (don't tell anyone), but seriously this is a fantastic jacket, I got one for everyone. Bought the blue and the black. Awesome!!

The kid loves it! My 9 year old son wanted the puffy jacket like my cold weather Nuptse. I was happy to oblige knowing that he would be warm in the coldest of weather. Now all I say is "I know it's cold, put on your jacket and get out there!"
The usual NF quality applies here, nice fit, nice fill, looks good. Nice jacket. I wish we could get 2 years out of it.

Warm, light, durable and versatile jacket My son has been wearing the Nuptse jacket since he was 4 and we continue to buy him new Nuptse sizes as he grows. This is a very versatile jacket which is light to wear but warm in cold temperatures; can be worn for skiing, snow boarding, ice skating, hiking or just casually. It is a great value at its regular price, but if you can get it on sale, nothing beats it.

No hood? what's the thinking re: leaving off a hood? I was about to order for my son when I noticed. Balaclavas are great, but don't provide the same protection from rain/sleet as a waterproof hood, nor are they as warm as a blaclava combined with a waterproof, down-filled hood! What am I missing here?

This is our second one. This will be our second Nuptse Jacket for our 11 year old. He has the shell too. It is a versital enough system that he can wear it all 8 months of winter in Fairbanks, Alaska. He just adds a little more or less depending on the activity and the temp.

North Face Fleece My son loves this jacket. He's says it's very warm and sometimes he doesn't even have to put on his down jacket because he gets too hot with the both of them on. I give it an A+.

Great Jacket This jacket is great. If your child is between sizes order up. I felt the jacket ran a little small. It is probably the best jacket my son ever had. He loves wearing it. It is worth every penny. Altrec is great and so is their customer service. I would order from them again.!!

warm and cozy jacket What a great jacket. My trendy son loves it, it's very warm and comfortable and fits perfectly well. It seems to be a bit smaller than the average size, so you might want to size up with your order.

Great purchase.. I bought this for my daughter. It is extremely well tailored, and I didn't realize the Hyvent shell was waterproof so there ws no need for a shell. She has worn it pretty much on every trip we've done. It compresses down to nothing and the inner pocket is also a stuff sack. One thing for nit-pickers - the construction is sew-through (not baffle) so you are may encounter cold spots at the seams. (personally I have yet to find a baffle sewn down jacket in the US) However practially this does not pose a problem if you have a sweater underneath.

Comfy warm and lightweight My son loves this jacket - as a small child that moves around alot when outdoors, this allows him the freedom to play and move as if he doesn't have a jacket on. He absolutely loves it compared to his bulky old coat.

highly recommend this warm winter jacket This jacket is extremely warm and is surprisingly lightweight. My son does not feel bundled up or "puffy" in this jacket, but isn't at all cold when he wears it. Great product! When you order, order up a size, because it seems to run small.

The best bang for the buck! Perfect! This jacket is warm but not too "puffy". Plus, with The North Face Quality, I can pass it down to my younger son. The price, customer service, no tax and free shipping can not be beat!
I bought 3 more jackets after finding this website! I love the Deal of the Day emails too.
Thanks Altrec!

GREAT RETURN PROCEDURE!! Just wanted to let everyone know how lightning fast the return process was. I sent back two of the three Nuptse coats back on Monday because they were too small and I received an email today that my return had already been processed! Too bad more online companies can't be as efficient as Altrec.com!!!! I will be a repeat customer!!
