1996 Retro Nuptse One-Piece - Infants'

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve recommended this to a lot of new parents heading into colder months. The down insulation is impressively warm for the weight, and the fold-over mitts are clutch for quick transitions. It’s easy to get on and off, which really matters when you’re dressing a wiggly infant."

On the first truly cold morning of the season, when we’re bundling up to introduce our newest explorer to winter’s bright air, we reach for the 1996 Retro Nuptse One-Piece from The North Face. Its throwback design nods to the classic Nuptse jackets we’ve relied on for years, while the lofty down insulation surrounds our little one with dependable warmth as we tuck them into the carrier or settle them into the stroller.

The recycled ripstop shell resists light flurries and drips of melting snow, and the insulated hood adds that extra layer of protection we appreciate during wind-chilled walks. Fold-over mitts keep tiny hands covered without hunting for separate layers, and elastic binding helps seal in warmth at cuffs and hem. When we finally step indoors, the long asymmetrical zipper makes the transition quick—even if they’ve fallen asleep along the way.

For winter days when comfort, convenience, and warmth matter most, the 1996 Retro Nuptse One-Piece helps us keep those early outdoor moments cozy and calm.
