FAQs
How do I clean the Nuptse Jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with down-specific detergent. Tumble dry low with clean tennis balls to restore loft.
Is the down ethically sourced?
Yes, the jacket uses Responsible Down Standard (RDS) goose down.
Can I iron the jacket?
No, do not iron the jacket. The heat can damage the fabric and the down.
How do I store the jacket during the off-season?
Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it to maintain its loft. A breathable storage bag is recommended.
What should I do if the down clumps?
Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with clean tennis balls to help redistribute the down and restore its loft.
Is the jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-resistant, but not fully waterproof. It can handle light rain, but for heavier rain, consider a waterproof outer shell.
Troubleshooting
The jacket doesn't seem as warm as expected.
Ensure the jacket is fully fluffed after unpacking or washing. Check for any areas where the down may have clumped. Consider wearing additional layers for added warmth in very cold conditions.
Down feathers are leaking.
This is normal, especially with a new down jacket. Avoid pulling the feathers out. Gently push the feather back inside the jacket.
The zipper is sticking.
Apply a zipper lubricant or rub a bar of soap along the zipper teeth to help it move smoothly.
The jacket is wet and losing warmth.
Ensure the jacket is properly dried after getting wet. Use a down-specific detergent when washing. Consider a waterproof outer shell if rain is expected.
