We didn’t just make a puffer — we made the Nuptse. Born from the harsh demands of mountaineering and adopted by city streets worldwide, the 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket remains an icon decades later. Featuring unmistakable oversized baffles and ultra-warm 700-fill recycled down, this relaxed, boxy silhouette blends heritage style with modern sustainability. Protective yet packable, bold yet timeless — this is a global staple.
