🧥 The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket Review (Black, S)
The The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket has re-emerged as one of the brand’s most iconic winter pieces — lightweight, warm, and effortlessly stylish.
I purchased the Black (S) overseas version with the signature “700” wrist marking, a detail not found on the Korean domestic release.
Growing up in Korea during the 2000s, The North Face was practically a winter uniform. Every student wore it over their school blazer, and watching the brand’s global revival now feels both nostalgic and amusing — those who kept their old jackets really hit the jackpot 😆
Official Product Photo
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 has a clean silhouette, while the back keeps that perfect puff volume without adding bulk. The highlight is the “700” wrist embroidery, a detail found only on overseas editions.
Fit & Style
When I first tried it on, I was surprised by how light it felt — almost like a down vest.
Once worn, the jacket still looked full and structured, giving that signature puffy Nuptse silhouette. It works well for everyday winter wear and layering.
For reference, I’m 5’2″ (157cm) and around 117 lbs (53kg). I’m wearing a size S in the The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket,
and it fits perfectly with a slightly cropped silhouette.
Short-Length Fit from the Back
From the back, the jacket has a short-length cut that pairs well with high-waist jeans or joggers.
It slightly cinches at the waist, keeping the silhouette balanced even from behind.
If you prefer a looser or layered winter fit with sweaters or thick knits, I’d recommend sizing up to M.
Full-Body Outdoor Look
Here’s how the The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket looks in a real outdoor setting. Even in casual streetwear, it keeps a clean silhouette and a 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.
Despite its lightweight feel, the jacket kept me warm even in –6°C, proving how functional it is for winter.
Cozy Winter Vibes with The North Face Nuptse
Even when sitting indoors, the The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket keeps its shape beautifully — soft, warm, and effortlessly cozy.
The subtle shine under warm lighting brings out the texture, and the “700” wrist marking subtly catches the eye.
It’s lightweight enough to wear comfortably inside, yet warm enough for cold winter nights.
Overall, I genuinely recommend the The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket — it’s the perfect mix of style and practicality for winter ❄️

This specific The North Face Nuptse Short Jacket (model NF0A5GGEKX7) is an overseas edition, meaning it’s not sold through Korean retail stores.
One detail that makes it unique is the “700” wrist embroidery, which indicates the down fill power.
The higher the number, the warmer the jacket — making it both functional and stylish.
