Color: White Dune/Tnf Black/Recycled Down
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.
- Embroidered logo on left chest and back-right shoulder
- Relaxed fit with a boxy silhouette
- Body fabric, overlay and lining made with recycled nylon
- 700 fill recycled waterfowl down offers warmth yet remains extremely compressible
- Non-PFC DWR finish for added water repellency
- Taffeta overlay on collar and yoke for added durability
- Inspired by the iconic design lines of our 1996 Nuptse Vest
- Oversize baffles
- Secure-zip hand pockets
- Internal drawcord with cord locks at hem for adjustability
- Exposed, VISLON® center front zip
