It is water-resistant thanks to a DWR finish, but it is not fully waterproof.
Hang the jacket in a breathable garment bag or on a wide hanger in a cool, dry closet.
It provides great warmth, but since it is not waterproof, it is best worn under a shell or in dry, cold conditions.
Fill power measures the loft or 'fluffiness' of down. A 700 rating indicates high-quality insulation that provides excellent warmth for its weight.
The 1996 Retro Nuptse design usually features a stowable hood that folds into the collar.
The jacket features a 'relaxed' fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, some customers prefer to size down.
Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with dryer balls to redistribute the down and restore loft.
The DWR coating may be wearing off; apply a technical water-repellent spray designed for outdoor apparel.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth, then rub a graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant along the track.
To ensure the longevity of your Nuptse jacket, proper care is essential. When the jacket requires cleaning, use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with a specialized down cleaner. Avoid traditional detergents, which can strip the natural oils from the down feathers. Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down and restore its loft. When not in use, avoid storing the jacket compressed in its packable pocket for long periods; instead, hang it in a cool, dry place to prevent the down from clumping and to maintain its insulating properties. Ensure the hem cinch cord is adjusted snugly when exposed to high winds to maximize thermal efficiency.
