FAQs

Is the fit true to size?

The vest features an oversized fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may want to consider sizing down.

Can I machine wash this vest?

Yes, but you must use a front-loading washer, gentle cycle, and specialized down detergent.

What material is the insulation made of?

The vest uses high-quality goose down for optimal warmth and compression.

How do I adjust the fit at the waist?

Use the adjustable shock cord located inside the hem to cinch the vest to your preference.

Is this vest waterproof?

The nylon shell provides weather resistance, but it is not classified as fully waterproof.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

Yes, the secure zipped front pockets are designed to hold standard-sized smartphones and personal essentials.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers leaking through the fabric

This is common with new down garments. Gently pull the feather back inside from the opposite side rather than pulling it out.

The vest feels less 'puffy' over time

Tumble dry the garment on low heat with dryer balls to restore the loft and redistribute the down clusters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Nuptse Vest lasts, store it in a cool, dry place and avoid compressing it for extended periods to preserve the down's loft. When cleaning, use a specialized down detergent and follow a gentle cycle in a front-loading machine. It is recommended to tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to redistribute the down and restore fluffiness. The vest is designed to be highly compatible with various mid-layers, from thermal long-sleeves to heavy sweaters, thanks to its generous cut.
