It is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light snow or drizzle, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged rain.
Yes, use a front-loading machine with down-specific detergent on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low with dryer balls.
The 1996 Retro Nuptse is designed with a boxy, slightly oversized fit to allow for layering underneath.
The hood is designed to be packed into the zippered compartment located in the collar.
The North Face is committed to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS), which ensures animal welfare in their supply chain.
Yes, there is a bungee cinch cord located at the hem to tighten the fit and block out drafts.
This is common with down jackets; gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it out.
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to redistribute the down and restore loft.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off; apply a spray-on DWR treatment to restore water resistance.
To ensure the longevity of your Nuptse jacket, store it hanging in a cool, dry place rather than compressing it for long periods, which helps preserve the down loft. If the jacket gets dirty, follow the care label instructions; machine wash on a delicate cycle using a down-specific detergent and dry with clean tennis balls to help fluff the insulation. The Velcro cuffs and bungee waist cinch allow for easy adjustments over different mid-layers like fleece or sweaters. If you find the jacket needs extra protection, it is compatible with most standard waterproof shell layers.
