How warm is the 1996 Retro Nuptse?

It uses 700-fill down and is built for cold winter days. Most people find it too warm for mild weather or hard activity.

Does it fit true to size?

It runs large and boxy. Many buyers size down one size for a regular fit, or keep their usual size to layer over hoodies.

No. The nylon shell is water-repellent and handles light rain and snow, but it is not waterproof in sustained rain.

Yes. The hood is attached and stows into the collar when not needed.

It is warm and durable, but bulky and not very breathable. For active sports, a lighter technical down or synthetic jacket works better.

The retro version keeps the original baffle pattern, boxy cut and logo. It uses modern materials and a recycled nylon lining.
