The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket - Black

Wash the jacket only when necessary. Excessive washing can degrade the down. Generally, washing once or twice per season is sufficient.

No, do not iron the jacket. The high heat can damage the nylon fabric and down insulation.

Use a mild detergent specifically designed for down products. Avoid detergents with bleach or fabric softeners.

Store the jacket in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it to maintain loft.

The North Face offers a warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact their customer service for details.

Use a repair patch kit specifically designed for nylon fabrics. Follow the kit's instructions for application.

Professional dry cleaning is not recommended, as it can damage the down and DWR finish. Follow the washing instructions provided.

Small feather leaks are normal. If excessive, check for tears or damage and consider repairing the jacket or contacting The North Face for assistance.

Re-fluff the jacket by tumbling it on low heat with tennis balls. This helps redistribute the down and restore loft. Ensure it is completely dry.

If the DWR finish is worn, reapply a durable water repellent. Clean and dry the jacket first, then follow the DWR product instructions.
