FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket is weather-resistant, meaning it can handle light snow and brief exposure to moisture, but it is not intended for heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions.

Does it have an internal pocket?

Yes, the jacket is designed with three pockets in total, providing secure storage for your essentials.

How do I pack the jacket?

The 1996 Retro Nuptse is designed to be highly compressible. You can stow it into its own pocket or a travel bag, making it space-efficient for luggage.

Can I adjust the cuffs?

Yes, the jacket features touch-fastened cuffs that allow you to adjust the fit around your wrists to help block out cold air.

What is the fit like?

It features a 'standard fit,' which is intentionally boxy and loose, true to the original 1996 design aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Insulation feels flat or clumped after washing

Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with clean dryer balls or tennis balls to fluff the down and restore loft.

Hood is difficult to access or pack

Ensure the hood is folded neatly according to the internal seams before tucking it into the collar compartment to avoid bunching.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the insulation properties and the longevity of your jacket, always refer to the care label sewn into the garment. Generally, you should machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water and use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners which can degrade the performance of the technical fabrics. To restore the loft of the down insulation after washing, tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to prevent clumping. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it away for long-term storage.
