Product Information
Full details
The TNF x SKIMS 1996 Nuptse Vest is designed for fashion-forward outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable layering piece that transitions effortlessly from alpine activities to apres-ski settings. It offers superior warmth through its high-loft goose down insulation while maintaining a contemporary, oversized silhouette. One caveat is the intentionally generous fit, which may require users to size down if they prefer a more streamlined, snug appearance rather than a relaxed, street-style aesthetic.

FAQs
Is this vest water-resistant?
The nylon shell provides basic protection against light snow or mist, but it is not a fully waterproof garment.
How should I choose my size?
The vest features an oversized fit. If you prefer a more standard or fitted look, consider sizing down from your usual size.
Can I wear this in extreme cold?
Yes, the goose down provides excellent insulation for your core, making it a great mid-layer for very cold conditions.
Does it have a hood?
No, this specific version of the 1996 Nuptse is a vest and does not include a hood.
How do I ensure the logos stay intact?
Wash the garment inside out to prevent the embroidered logos from rubbing against the drum of the washing machine.
Is this vest suitable for skiing?
It is perfect for apres-ski activities. While it can be worn while skiing, ensure it fits comfortably under your outer shell jacket.
Troubleshooting
The vest looks flat after storage.
Give the vest a firm shake to redistribute the down and let it hang in a warm, dry area for a few hours to regain its loft.
Small feathers poking through the seams.
This is normal for down products. Gently pull the feather back into the insulation from the inside rather than pulling it out completely, which can enlarge the hole.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio from premium down insulation
- Versatile layering capability thanks to the oversized design
- Customizable silhouette with interior shock cord adjustments
- Practical storage with both external and internal zippered pockets
- Stylish collaborative aesthetic suitable for both mountains and city streets
Cons
- The oversized fit may feel too bulky for some users
- Requires specialized care to maintain the loft of the down
- Limited to nylon material which may not be as breathable as technical softshells
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the vest is straightforward: use the interior shock cord to adjust the fit to your preference, pulling to tighten the hem for a cropped effect or leaving it loose for maximum airflow.
For care, it is essential to follow standard procedures for down-filled apparel. Wash in a front-loading machine on a gentle cycle using a dedicated down-wash detergent. To restore the loft of the down after washing, tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls in the dryer. Avoid harsh chemicals and never dry clean, as this can degrade the natural oils and performance of the goose down insulation.
