We built the Women’s 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest to hold onto what made the original iconic: mountain-born protection, unmistakable baffles and the kind of warmth that still earns its place every winter. It’s a layer with real heritage, remade for everyday cold.
From crisp city mornings to weekend travel, 700-fill down brings serious warmth without the bulk, while the vest still packs down when you need to stash it. The shiny ripstop fabric, water-repellent finish and stowable hood help you stay ready when conditions shift. Zip it over a hoodie, cinch the hem and wear a legend your way. This is an icon.
