The Best Retro North Face Gear
We’ve had our eye on the North Face retro collection for awhile now. Based on their legendary 1990s lineup, most of these throwback styles sold out really quickly. Thankfully, there are still a few select sizes available for a steep discount over on Backcountry.
Check out some of our favorites below.
The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest
This retro-inspired North Face Nuptse Vest is based on the iconic 1996 design that we’ve scoured eBay for ever since it was first released. The lofty goose down insulation traps body heat for reliable warmth in almost any conditions, and the water-resistant outer shell fends off light drizzles and flurries with ease.
The North Face Nuptse Slide
Long before Drake was masked up doing the Toosie Slide, we were shuffling around the house in a pair of North Face Nuptse Slides. The Nuptse bandage strap is super comfortable and water-resistant, and built with 700-fill goose down for lightweight warmth around the campfire. An EVA foam midsole adds cushion for all-day comfort, and the textured rubber sole provides reliable traction on nearly any surface.
The North Face 95 Retro Denali Jacket
Finally, the return of the east coast classic jacket that our older brothers used to rock in high school. The North Face 95 Retro Denali Jacket is built with DWR fabric on the shoulders to fend off light weather, the soft fleece lining keeps you insulated from cold winds, and the draw cord locks in your body heat all day long.
The North Face Nuptse Mitten
The retro-inspired North Face Nuptse Mitten is built from the ground up to keep your hands warm on cold city days. The wind-blocking outer shell ensures that bitter winds can’t get in, and the down insulation offers toasty warmth without any of the weight. The North Face Nuptse Mitten also features a leather palm overlay for added durability and grip.
The North Face 95 Retro Denali Pant
Warm, comfortable, and made from recycled fleece fabric. Oh, and they come in this sick camouflage colorway. The North Face 95 Retro Denali Pant has reinforced protection at the knees to guard against rip and tears, the elastic waist creates a snug fit, and the zippered hand pockets help keep your hands warm and your wallet secure.
