FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, this jacket features a shiny water-resistant ripstop fabric, which provides protection against light rain or snow. It is not fully waterproof and may not withstand heavy downpours.

What is the filling material?

The jacket is filled with plush goose down, known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and insulation properties.

Can I wash this jacket at home?

Yes, the jacket is machine washable. However, it's important to use a gentle cycle with cold water and a down-specific detergent. Refer to the care label inside the jacket for detailed instructions.

What age group is this jacket designed for?

This jacket is specifically designed for juniors, offering a comfortable and functional fit for children.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, it features zip pockets for secure storage of personal items and to keep hands warm.

Is the jacket made from recycled materials?

Yes, the main body is made from 100% Recycled Nylon, and the lining is 100% Recycled Polyester, contributing to a more sustainable product.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not feeling warm enough

Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and all elasticated trims are snug. For very cold temperatures, consider layering a fleece or thermal base layer underneath to enhance insulation.

Down appears clumpy after washing

This is common for down products. Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls will help break up down clumps and restore its loft. Repeat the drying cycle if necessary until all clumps are gone and the down is evenly distributed.

Water repellency seems reduced

While water-resistant, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off over time. After washing, you can re-treat the jacket with a DWR spray or wash-in product specifically designed for outerwear to restore its water-shedding capabilities. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before application.

Zipper snags or gets stuck

Gently try to move the zipper pull back and forth. Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and carefully pull it free. If the zipper still sticks, you can apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Pros and Cons

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Nuptse Jacket, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Machine Washable: The jacket is machine washable. It is crucial to use a gentle cycle with cold water and a specialized down-friendly detergent (avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners).
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to re-loft the down and prevent clumping. Drying may take several hours and requires patience. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  3. Do Not Bleach or Iron: Avoid using bleach, ironing, or dry cleaning, as these can damage the fabric and down insulation.
  4. Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area, preferably hanging or loosely folded, to maintain the down's loft.
