FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It features a water-repellent finish, which helps shed light rain and snow, but it is not considered fully waterproof.

How should I store the jacket long-term?

Store it in a cool, dry place. If possible, hang it up rather than keeping it packed tightly to maintain the longevity of the down.

Does the hood provide heavy-duty protection?

The stowable hood is designed for convenience and protection during light to moderate rain showers.

Is the jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed at 40 degrees Celsius using a gentle cycle and mild detergent, preferably specifically formulated for down.

What does '700-fill power' mean?

This indicates the quality and loft of the down; 700-fill is a high-quality rating, offering excellent warmth and compressibility.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers are poking through the fabric

This is common with down jackets. Do not pull the feather out; instead, pull it back inside from the other side and rub the fabric to close the gap.

The jacket feels flat after washing

Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to break up clumps and restore the loft of the down insulation.

Water is no longer beading on the surface

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need to be reapplied using a spray-on treatment after a thorough cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Nuptse remains in top condition, proper care is essential. When the jacket requires cleaning, it can be machine washed at 40 degrees Celsius using a gentle cycle and a specialized down detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the down of its natural oils and reduce loft.

After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down and restore the jacket's fluffiness. Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a compressed state to prevent moisture buildup or odor.
