FAQs

Is the hood removable?

The hood is not detachable; instead, it is designed to be stowed away inside the stand-up collar.

Does this jacket run true to size?

Yes, it features a standard fit intended to accommodate layering underneath.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

The jacket is weather-resistant, but it is not fully waterproof. It is best suited for light precipitation and cold, dry conditions.

How do I store the jacket long-term?

Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally hanging up to keep the shape, rather than keeping it compressed for extended periods.

Are the pockets zippered?

Yes, the pockets are designed to provide secure storage for your essentials while you are on the move.

Troubleshooting

The jacket looks flat or loses volume.

Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to redistribute and fluff the internal insulation.

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may be wearing off. Apply a fabric-safe waterproofing spray according to manufacturer instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic, timeless 1996 aesthetic
  • Highly packable for travel convenience
  • Weather-resistant exterior fabric
  • Adjustable cuff and collar features for heat retention

Cons

  • Shorter length provides less coverage than a parka
  • Material may require specific care to maintain water resistance
  • Standard fit may feel bulky for some users

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the longevity of your Nuptse jacket, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners which can degrade the water-resistant coating. To restore loft to the insulation, tumble dry on a low setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the fill. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a compressed state to prevent moisture buildup.
