DETAILS

Relaxed fit: This garment is slightly loose for enhanced comfort.

Named after Everest's imposing neighbour, our original 90s Nuptse products were the first to use an innovative baffle construction that minimised down shifting, ensuring lasting warmth for the wearer. The 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Gilet is a modern reincarnation of the icon. We've kept most things the same: the same boxy silhouette; the same shiny ripstop fabric; the same exposed zip and diagonal hand pockets and, of course, the same oversized baffles. The only changes are improvements like switching to 700-fill of responsibly-sourced down and using a water-repellent finish. The hood stows in its collar and the whole gilet can be packed down and stowed in its right hand pocket. Plus, recycled materials make this gilet even better than ever before.

HOW TO CARE
HANG DRY

Leave your garment to hang-dry naturally. Do not iron on print.

WASH WITH SPECIAL CARE

Down products are delicate and need special care to maintain maximum effectiveness. Using ONLY a front-loading machine, wash in warm water with a liquid detergent specific to down (without bleach) on a gentle cycle and low spin. You may wish to repeat the rinse cycle to be sure all soap residue is removed. An extra spin cycle will help remove excess water. Do not lift the product from the washer; scoop it from the bottom.

CLOSE ALL FASTENINGS

Before cleaning, turn your product inside out and close all Velcro® fastenings and zips to prevent accidental damage.

TUMBLE DRY ON A LOW SETTING

Tumble dry your down product over a long period on a low setting. It is also important that you wash and dry items individually. We recommend adding tennis or tumble dryer balls to the dryer to make sure the down does not clump.

HAVE IT PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED

If you can’t fit your down product in your washing machine or tumble dryer, we recommend that you have it professionally cleaned by a service that specialises in cleaning down. It will save you time and energy.

The zipper

I really like this vest, there is only one problem. The zipper is made of plastic, the puller is made of metal. After a year of use, the zipper cannot be removed. That's a big deal considering how expensive the vest is.
