We didn’t just make a puffer. We made the Nuptse. A jacket rooted in the unforgiving nature of mountaineering and immortalized on city streets. Respected for generations, our 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket 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.
