The North Face Nuptse Jacket - Boys'
The North Face Boys Nuptse Jacket is the most versatile down jacket in TNF's boys' line. It can be worn alone in cold, dry conditions or under a weatherproof shell for complete snow and rain protection. 600-fill goose down (the same stuff they use in cold weather sleeping bags) keeps junior toasty warm, and reinforced stitching will withstand the abuses little guys put their clothing through.

Boys North Face Nuptse Jacket - Goose Down
I purchased this for my son to use in the South Island of New Zealand and although it's pretty big it's already worth it. It's so warm that my son (5 y/o) was asking to take it off cause it was too hot. I'd buy one for anyone needing an around town extreme cold down jacket.
What happened to the Nuptse Jackets?
My whole family has always loved The North Face. When my son outgrew his old black Nuptse jacket, I ordered him a new one for Christmas. When it arrived, I opened it only to be disappointed by the thinness of the jacket. What happened to all the "stuffing"? My husband assumed that once it was out of the package, it would "fluff up". No such luck. My son is happy with it but it looks and feels like a lightly padded windbreaker. Strange.
North Face Nuptse Coat
It was a little frustrating in the beginning because I had to return two coats because they were too small. Finally I got the size right because they run rather small and my son really enjoys the coat and it keeps him very warm. It is a great coat and I recommend it. It is light weight and not bulky and keeps you very warm.
Girl's Nuptse
I agree with Tanner review. I bought this coat for my daughter b/c it had the most down fill compared to the others. I was surprised that the coat is so thin and months later, it still is. I've seen the "Greenland" which has a lesser down fill but appears to be much thicker and warmer.
Boy Jacket
Excellent deal, and the quality I was expecting. Highly recommend to all.

Training Tips
Did you know that to lose approximately one pound of fat, an average adult would have to walk 30 miles? You don't have to walk those 30 miles all at once.
If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
