30 years ago, an icon was born. Named after a remote peak in the Himalayas, the Nuptse was built with extreme warmth at the time and relied upon in high alpine environments and on the streets around the world. Now, the original ‘92 Nuptse is reborn for 2022, sporting the original blue and red colourways, plus a new black and white print to commemorate the 30th anniversary.
Not to be confused withThe North Face Icons RMSTNuptse, which married classic silhouettes with modern technologies, the ‘92 Nuptse Collection is a stitch-for-stitch replica of its 1992 counterpart, emblazoned with commemorative patches to mark the big date. If you happen to be too young to buy the jacket in the early 90s, now is your chance to relive the glory days of fashion.

The North Face Nuptse Jacket: A short history
In 1987, Director of Equipment at The North Face Sally McCoy was part of the Snowbird Everest Expedition, inspiring the creation of perennial outwear classics named after the peaks and glaciers in the area. Five years later, in 1992, The North Face introduced the original Nuptse Jacket, incorporating an innovative new baffle construction that minimises shifting of the down and increases warmth. Some milestones in the history of the Nuptse jacket:
Since its inception, the Nuptse Jacket has become the iconic puffy jacket that thrives in cold weather conditions, as well as a cultural symbol showcased in music videos and as much as home in Berlin as a Himalayan base camp. And although it’s likely you won’t be wearing the `92 Nuptse on yournext South Pole expedition, wherever you are, rest assured this jacket will keep you toasty (physically) and cool (metaphorically) simultaneously.
The ’92 Nuptse is available in the iconic TNF Red, TNF Blue, and a special Retro Anniversary black and white pattern. It’s available from 30 November 2022 atThe North Faceand in select The North Face stores for a recommended retail price of £310 (approx. $372/AU$552).
