FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-resistant, meaning it provides excellent protection against light rain and snow, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged downpours.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, but use a front-loading machine on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and low heat in the dryer with dryer balls to restore loft.

Does it have an internal pocket?

The jacket features dual external zip pockets; please check your specific model's interior for any additional hidden stowage.

Is the hood removable?

The hood is generally designed to be integrated into the collar for a clean look when not in use.

How should I size this jacket?

The jacket follows standard adult sizing, but consider layering needs; if you prefer thicker sweaters underneath, you may consider sizing up.

Troubleshooting

Insulation feels flat or compressed

Gently shake the jacket and allow it to hang in a ventilated area for 24-48 hours to restore the loft.

Water repellency seems to be fading

Apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically formulated for synthetic outdoor apparel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Nuptse jacket, focus on proper storage and cleaning. Always store the jacket in a cool, dry place and avoid compressing it under heavy items, as this can affect the insulation's ability to loft. When cleaning is necessary, refer to the care label for specific instructions; generally, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent designed for down or synthetic insulation. Ensure the jacket is thoroughly dried to prevent clumping. The jacket's versatile fit makes it highly compatible with layering, allowing you to wear light sweaters or base layers underneath for added warmth during deeper freezes.
