The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket 700 (Black, S) Review – The Ultimate Lightweight Winter Puffer

🧥 The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket (Black, S) Review
Model No: NF0A5GGEKX7 | Overseas Version with “700” Wrist Marking

Product Overview

The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket is one of the brand’s most iconic pieces — lightweight yet warm, minimal yet stylish. I purchased the Black S size (matte finish), which is the overseas version that features the “700” marking on the wrist — a detail missing from the Korean domestic version.

🇰🇷 Growing up in Korea in the 2000s, The North Face was the winter uniform.
Every student wore it over their school uniform, and seeing the brand rise again globally feels nostalgic.
Those who kept their old jackets really hit the jackpot now 😆

The official product image shows the jacket’s minimal design and subtle matte texture — classic Nuptse with a modern touch.

My Own Product Shots

I took these photos myself to show how the jacket looks in real life.
The front view shows a clean silhouette, while the back has that perfect puffed balance without looking bulky.
The highlight is the “700” embroidery on the wrist, a mark only found on overseas editions.

Fit & Style

When I first tried it on, I was surprised by how light it felt — almost like a down vest!
But once worn, the jacket still looked full and structured, giving that signature “puffy” Nuptse silhouette.
It’s perfect for everyday winter wear and layering.

For reference, I’m about 5’2″ (157cm) tall and weigh around 117 lbs (53kg).
I’m wearing size S in the The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket, and it fits perfectly with a slight cropped silhouette.

Short-Length Fit from the Back

You can see from the back that it’s a short-length cut, making it perfect for pairing with high-waist jeans or joggers.
The jacket slightly cinches at the waist, creating a balanced silhouette even from behind.
If you prefer a looser, layered fit with sweaters or thick knits, I’d recommend going one size up to M.

Full-Body Outdoor Look

Here’s how the The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket looks in a real-life, outdoor setting.
Even in casual streetwear, the jacket keeps its clean silhouette and natural puffiness — not too bulky, just the right balance.
The short length makes the legs look longer, and the matte black color pairs well with winter tones.

The The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket kept me warm even in -6°C, proving how functional it is despite its lightweight feel.

Cozy Winter Vibes with The North Face Nuptse

Even when sitting indoors, the Nuptse Short Jacket keeps its shape beautifully — soft, warm, and effortlessly cozy. 🍰✨
The subtle shine under warm lighting highlights the jacket’s texture, and the wrist “700” mark subtly catches the eye.
It’s lightweight enough to wear comfortably inside, yet warm enough to handle cold winter nights.

Overall, I highly recommend the The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket.
It’s the perfect mix of style and practicality for the winter season. ❄️

🌍 About the “Overseas Edition” with 700 Embroidery

This specific The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket (model NF0A5GGEKX7) is an overseas edition,
which means it’s not sold in Korean stores.
One small detail that makes it special is the “700” embroidery on the wrist, indicating the fill power of the down.
The higher the number, the warmer the jacket so it’s both a stylish and functional piece.

💸 Where to Find It

The overseas version is often available through international online stores,
but not on the official Korean North Face site.
Still, if you’re curious, you can check The North Face US Official Website for similar models and color options.
