FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?

The jacket provides excellent warmth due to its down filling and is water-repellent, making it suitable for most winter conditions. However, for extreme blizzards or prolonged exposure to heavy snow, a more specialized waterproof outer shell might be recommended.

How do I wash the Nuptse jacket?

You can hand wash or machine wash it on a gentle cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. It's best to tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help restore the down's loft.

What is the fill power of the down?

The product information specifies 90% goose down and 10% waterfowl feathers for insulation, providing excellent warmth.

Can the hood be removed?

The hood is foldable and can be stowed away into a zippered compartment in the collar, but it is not removable.

What does 'square fit' mean?

'Square fit' refers to the jacket's silhouette, which is typically boxier and straighter compared to more tailored fits.

Is the material truly waterproof?

The jacket is made from water-repellent nylon, meaning it can shed light rain and snow. It is not fully waterproof and may not withstand heavy or prolonged downpours.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Warranty information is typically handled by the retailer. Please check with your point of purchase for details on the warranty specific to your region and seller.

Troubleshooting

Down clumps after washing

Ensure the jacket is completely dry by tumble drying on low heat with tennis balls or dryer balls to help break up clumps and restore loft.

Jacket loses loft and warmth

The down may be compressed or wet. Ensure it is fully dry and consider shaking it vigorously to re-distribute the down filling.

Water-repellent finish is less effective

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need refreshing. Apply a DWR treatment spray suitable for outdoor apparel after washing and drying.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
