It is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain and snow, but it is not intended to be a fully waterproof raincoat.
The hood is designed to be tucked into a dedicated zippered compartment located within the high collar.
The 1996 Retro Nuptse has a signature boxy, slightly oversized fit compared to modern performance gear.
Yes, it is machine washable; use a gentle cycle with down-safe detergent and tumble dry on low with dryer balls.
Yes, the shell is constructed from 100% recycled nylon ripstop.
This is normal for high-fill down; gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it out.
Tumble dry the jacket on low with dryer balls to restore the air space within the down insulation.
Because this jacket uses natural down insulation, proper care is essential to maintain its loft. To clean the garment, use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent specifically designed for down; avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat, adding clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help the down clusters re-fluff during the drying process. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storage to prevent clumping. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid hanging it in direct sunlight for extended periods to protect the nylon material.
