FAQs
Does this vest have a hood?
No, this specific 1996 Nuptse Vest model is collar-only and does not feature a hood.
How should I choose my size?
The vest is designed with an oversized fit. If you prefer a more standard or fitted look, you may want to size down from your usual choice.
Can I wear this in the rain?
While the nylon material offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. It is best suited for dry cold or light snow.
What is the insulation made of?
The vest is filled with premium goose down to ensure high loft and warmth.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, both the front and interior pockets are secured with high-quality zippers.
Troubleshooting
Down insulation appears flat after storage
Tumble dry the vest on low heat with a few clean tennis balls to fluff the down feathers.
Visible down feathers poking through fabric
Gently pull the feather back from the inside rather than pulling it out, then rub the fabric to realign the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the loft and thermal properties of the goose down, avoid compressing the vest for long durations when not in use; store it hanging in a dry, cool place. When cleaning, it is recommended to follow the care instructions on the interior label, typically involving a gentle machine wash on a cold cycle with a down-specific detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the insulation's performance. For the best fit, consider using the interior shock cord to seal out drafts in windy conditions.
