FAQs

How do I wash my Nuptse Jacket?

Can I use regular detergent?

It is recommended to use a down-specific detergent to preserve the down's natural oils and loft.

How should I store my jacket?

Store in a cool, dry place, and avoid compressing it for extended periods.

What if the down clumps together after washing?

Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to restore the loft. You can also gently massage the jacket to redistribute the down.

Is the jacket waterproof?

What material is the jacket made of?

Troubleshooting

Down feathers are escaping.

This is normal, pull the feather back inside. Avoid pulling the feather, which could enlarge the hole. Use a needle and thread to repair the small hole.

Jacket is not as warm as expected.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers. Check for any areas where down might have clumped together, and redistribute it by gently massaging the jacket.

The jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider using a waterproof outer shell over the jacket.
