Cold-Weather Construction

The supplied specification identifies the jacket as 700-fill, designed to provide substantial insulation for colder conditions.

Approx. 350g Filling

The jacket is described as containing approximately 350g of down filling distributed throughout the padded body.

Sectioned Insulation

Individual padded areas are filled separately to improve control over insulation distribution across the garment.

Individual Compartment Filling

Each insulated section includes dedicated access points used during the filling stage.

Measured Distribution

The supplied manufacturing description states that fill weight is measured separately across different areas of the jacket before final seam closure.

Post-Fill Distribution

After filling, the garment is repeatedly worked and gently beaten for several minutes to encourage the insulation to spread throughout each compartment.

Closed Filling Ports

Filling access points are sealed after insulation distribution to help reduce unwanted migration of down during normal use.

Supplier Composition Notes

The supplied information contains two different down-content references. One section states “GB-standard 80 down”, while another detailed section describes the filling as approximately 95% down-type material and 5% feather components.

Composition Discrepancy

Because these two supplied figures are not fully consistent, this listing does not present either percentage as a definitive verified fiber composition.

Recommended Verification

For the exact down-to-feather composition of a specific garment, refer to the physical care and composition label supplied with the jacket.

100% Nylon Outer

The supplied shell specification identifies the outer fabric as 100% 40D nylon.

Lightweight Technical Surface

40D nylon provides a technical outer layer designed to balance relatively low bulk with protection around the insulated construction.

Protective Surface Coating

The outer textile receives an additional coating intended to improve resistance to light moisture and wind exposure.

Coated Exterior

The shell surface is described as having a protective coating that provides water-repellent characteristics.

Wind Resistance

The nylon construction and coated surface are designed to provide additional protection against wind.

Weather Use

The supplied information references waterproof performance, but no laboratory hydrostatic-pressure rating or seam-sealing specification is provided. For this reason, this listing describes the shell conservatively as water-repellent rather than fully waterproof.

Multi-Layer Structure

The supplied construction description references approximately four textile layers across the shell, down-proof layers and lining system.

Two Down-Proof Layers

Two dedicated internal layers are used around the insulation chambers to help contain the down.

Inner Lining

A separate lining forms the interior surface against the wearer.

Insulation Containment

The internal construction uses dedicated down-proof textile layers to help reduce feathers and down clusters migrating through the fabric.

Reinforced Compartment Construction

Filled sections are closed after insulation is distributed to support more secure containment.

Normal Wear Note

The construction is designed to reduce down leakage, although occasional migration of small fibers can naturally occur with down-filled garments.

Two-Part Color Treatment

The supplied product description identifies a two-color panel construction.

Solid Upper Section

The upper portion uses a cleaner solid-color treatment.

Grid-Pattern Lower Section

The lower body incorporates a contrasting grid-style pattern for added visual depth.

YKK Zipper

The supplied product information specifies a YKK zipper for the main closure.

Custom-Molded Hardware

Additional hardware components are described as individually molded for the garment.

Functional Construction

These components are selected to complement the substantial cold-weather structure of the jacket.

Hook-and-Loop Adjustment

The supplied information specifies hook-and-loop components around the cuff and collar areas.

Secure Closure

These adjustable details help refine the fit around exposed openings during colder or windier conditions.

Three-Label Set

The supplied production notes specify a coordinated three-label finishing set.

Hang Tag

Color-specific hang tags are described as being paired according to the individual jacket colorway.

Holographic-Style Label

A laser or holographic-style label is also referenced as part of the supplied finishing details.

The The North Face 1996 700-Fill Down Jacket Graphite Grey works naturally with denim, technical trousers, cargos, fleece pants and winter layering pieces.

For a clean outdoor-inspired outfit, combine the graphite-grey puffer with black technical pants and trail or lifestyle sneakers.

For colder destinations, layer it over a thermal base layer, knit sweater or heavyweight sweatshirt.

The neutral graphite-grey palette also coordinates easily with black, white, cream, navy and other muted winter colors.

Available Sizes: XS / S / M / L / XL / XXL

The supplied information does not provide a formal fit classification or exact chest, shoulder, sleeve and garment-length measurements.

Down jackets naturally have more internal volume than lightweight outerwear because of the insulated construction.

For the best size selection, compare actual garment measurements when available with a puffer jacket you already own.

The physical garment composition label should be used as the final reference for exact insulation percentages.

Down-filled outerwear should be cleaned gently to protect both the insulation and coated shell.

Follow the physical garment care label for the recommended washing temperature and cleaning method.

Avoid harsh bleach and aggressive scrubbing of the coated nylon surface.

After washing, ensure the down is completely dry before storage to help maintain loft and reduce clumping.

During drying, gently redistribute compressed insulation where necessary.

Store the jacket in a dry environment and avoid long-term heavy compression whenever possible.

What color is this version?

This version is Graphite Grey.

What fill specification does it use?

The supplied product information identifies this jacket as 700-fill.

How much down filling is used?

The supplied fill weight is approximately 350g.

What is the outer shell made from?

The outer shell is specified as 100% 40D nylon.

Is the jacket waterproof?

The supplied description references waterproof and windproof performance and a coated outer surface. However, no laboratory waterproof rating is provided, so this listing conservatively describes the shell as water-repellent and wind-resistant.

What is the exact down percentage?

The supplier information contains two different references: “80 down” in one section and approximately 95% down-type material / 5% feather components in another. Because these figures conflict, check the physical composition label for the exact percentage.

Does it use a YKK zipper?

Yes. The supplied specification identifies the main closure as a YKK zipper.

Does it have down-proof layers?

Yes. Two dedicated internal down-proof layers are described as part of the jacket construction.

What sizes are available?
