Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is weather-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain and snow, but it is not classified as fully waterproof for heavy downpours.

Can the hood be removed?

The hood is designed to be packed into the collar; it is not intended to be completely detached from the garment.

How should I store this jacket in the off-season?

Store it hanging in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it in its compressed state for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the fill.

Is the fit true to size?

The 1996 Retro Nuptse features a standard, boxy fit. Many users find it true to size, but consider your layering needs if you prefer a looser feel.

What material is the outer shell?

The jacket is crafted from high-quality, durable nylon.

Troubleshooting

Insulation appears flat or thin

Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with dryer balls to fluff the fill and restore its natural loft.

Zipper is sticking

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and gently clean the teeth with a soft brush to remove dust or debris.

Minor fabric snags

Avoid pulling loose threads; use a pair of small embroidery scissors to carefully trim any external snags.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
  • Timeless, recognizable aesthetic
  • Highly packable for easy storage
  • Adjustable cuffs and hem for customized comfort
  • Durable nylon construction

Cons

  • Cropped fit may not suit everyone's preference
  • Not intended for extreme high-mountain alpine conditions
  • Limited coverage compared to longer parka styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Nuptse jacket in peak condition, always refer to the internal care label. Due to the nylon material and insulation, it is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water using a technical cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners. When drying, use a low-heat setting and include clean tennis balls or dryer balls in the drum to help restore the loft of the insulation. Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a compressed state to prevent moisture buildup or damage to the fabric structure.
