FAQs
Is the goose down ethically sourced?
Yes, the 700-fill down used in the Nuptse is certified to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) by Control Union.
Can I fold the hood away?
Yes, the jacket features a stowable hood that collapses and zips into the stand-up collar.
Does this jacket have an inner pocket?
Yes, it includes a dedicated interior zip pocket for small personal items.
How should I choose my size?
The jacket has a boxy, oversized fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, consider sizing down from your usual size.
Is the material waterproof?
The fabric is water-resistant thanks to a DWR treatment, but it is not intended to be a fully waterproof rain jacket.
How do I keep the down fluffy?
Avoid storing the jacket compressed for long periods and always use dryer balls when machine drying.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers are poking through the fabric
This is normal for down jackets. Gently pull the feather back from the inside rather than pulling it out through the shell to avoid enlarging the puncture hole.
The jacket looks flat after washing
Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with dryer balls for an extended period to redistribute the down clusters.
Water is starting to soak into the fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Classic 90s archive aesthetic is highly versatile
- Durable water-repellent (DWR) finish provides protection against light moisture
- Packable hood adds functionality without compromising the design

Cons
- The boxy, oversized fit may be too voluminous for some users
- Requires specialized care when cleaning to maintain down loft
- Shiny ripstop material may be prone to snagging on sharp objects
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment is insulated with natural down, proper maintenance is essential for long-term performance. Always wash using a dedicated technical down cleaner to ensure the feathers do not lose their loft. Use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water, and tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the insulation back to its original volume. To maintain the DWR finish, you may periodically re-apply a water-repellent treatment spray. For storage, avoid compressing the jacket in a tight bag for extended periods; hang it in a cool, dry place to allow the down to breathe.
