The 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket – An Icon Reborn

We didn’t just make a puffer. We made the Nuptse – a jacket forged in the harsh demands of high-altitude mountaineering and immortalized in urban culture. Trusted for generations, the 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket carries the same confidence and authenticity that has made it a global symbol for decades. With its signature oversized baffles, ultra-warm 700-fill down insulation, and relaxed yet packable silhouette, it remains untouchable. Protective yet effortless. This is more than a jacket – it’s a legacy.
