The North Face Women's Nuptse Short Jacket

The Nuptse. Cropped. Even More You.

The The North Face Women’s Nuptse Short Jacket takes the most iconic down jacket silhouette in the world and distils it into its most effortlessly wearable form. The full warmth and the unmistakable quilted Nuptse construction, in a cropped length that hits at the waist and transforms how the jacket works with everything underneath it. High-waisted trousers, wide-leg jeans, midi skirts, layered knits — the Short opens the Nuptse up to a completely new dimension of styling possibility without sacrificing a degree of the warmth that made the original a legend.

The Nuptse Logic. In a Shorter Story.

The cropped silhouette is not a compromise on the Nuptse — it is an evolution of it. Where the full-length Nuptse is the statement piece that anchors an entire look, the Short is the layer that elevates every look it touches: the piece that makes wide-leg trousers look more considered, that transforms a midi dress into something genuinely unexpected, that sits over a chunky knit with a precision that the longer version simply cannot achieve. The warmth is unchanged. The Nuptse identity is completely intact. What changes is the versatility — and in that change, the Short becomes something that the original, for all its iconic status, could never quite be. The North Face since 1966. The Nuptse, always. The Short, for every occasion.
