We didn’t just make a puffer. We made the Nuptse. A layer rooted in the unforgiving nature of mountaineering and immortalized on city streets. Respected for generations, our 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest retains the confidence and grit to stand alone. With unmistakable oversized baffles, and ultra-warm 700-fill down insulation, it’s been a global symbol for decades. Relaxed but packable. Protective but chill. This is an icon.
- Relaxed fit with a boxy silhouette
- Oversize baffles
- Non-PFC DWR finish for added water repellency
- Has the oversize logos of the original ’96 vest
- Stowable, adjustable, attached, three-piece hood with a drawcord with cord locks
- Exposed, VISLON® center front zip
- 700 fill recycled waterfowl down offers warmth yet remains extremely compressible
- Inspired by the iconic design lines of our 1996 Nuptse Vest
- Body fabric, overlay and lining made with recycled nylon
- Internal drawcord with cord locks at hem for adjustability
- Vest stows in right hand pocket
- Embroidered logo on left chest and back-right shoulder
- Secure-zip hand pockets
- Original shiny ripstop fabric for added durability
- Taffeta overlay on collar and yoke for added durability
