FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Nuptse is water-resistant, making it great for light snow or brief flurries, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged rain.

How should I store the jacket?

Store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it in a tight space for long periods, as this can affect the fluffiness and insulation performance of the down.

Can this be used for skiing?

While it provides great warmth, it is primarily a lifestyle and casual winter jacket rather than a specialized performance ski shell.

Does it have an internal pocket?

This model focuses on external secure-zip hand pockets for your convenience.

Is the jacket machine washable?

Yes, but it is recommended to use a delicate cycle and specific soap for down products to avoid damaging the fill.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm over time

The down may have clumped; tumble dry the jacket on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute the insulation.

Zipper sticks or is difficult to move

Clean the zipper tracks of any debris or dirt and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a candle to the teeth to improve movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat retention for winter
  • Highly breathable material prevents overheating
  • Adjustable cuffs and hem for a perfect fit
  • Stylish, iconic 1996 retro design
  • Secure zipper pockets for utility

Cons

  • Bulky fit may not be ideal for layering under thin shells
  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain down insulation
  • Limited to casual and light outdoor use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket lasts, use the shockcord at the hem and the hook-and-loop cuff tabs to create a personalized, wind-resistant fit. Compatibility is best when worn over a light mid-layer or t-shirt. For care, always check the internal garment tag for specific washing instructions. Typically, down-insulated jackets should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with a detergent designed for technical outerwear and dried with dryer balls to restore the loft of the insulation.
