Designed for adults who value a blend of heritage 90s aesthetic and modern performance, the 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket is the ideal outer layer for cold-weather urban commutes and light outdoor excursions. Featuring high-loft RDS-certified goose down insulation, it provides exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio for daily comfort, though its bulky silhouette may not be suitable for high-intensity technical climbing where streamlined gear is required.

The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light snow or drizzle, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.
Locate the zip on the collar, roll the hood neatly, and tuck it inside the compartment before zipping it closed.
The 1996 Retro Nuptse has an intentionally boxy, loose fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may want to size down.
Due to its high volume and thickness, it is best utilized as a standalone outer layer rather than a mid-layer under another jacket.
The Responsible Down Standard (RDS) ensures that the down comes from ducks or geese that have been treated humanely.
The down may have compressed during storage. Shake the jacket vigorously and tumble dry on low with dryer balls to restore the loft.
This is normal for down products. Gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it out through the shell.
To maintain the loft and thermal efficiency of the down insulation, store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger rather than keeping it compressed in the storage bag for long periods. When cleaning, use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent. Always tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down feathers and restore the jacket's signature "puffy" appearance. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the durable water-repellent finish from the nylon fabric.
