Is the Nuptse warm enough for winter?

Yes for cold, dry city winters, especially layered over a sweater. It is not built for wet or extreme sub-zero conditions.

How does it fit compared with other down jackets?

It runs loose and boxy, so most shoppers take their usual size or size down for a trimmer look. It leaves room for a hoodie underneath.

No. The shell is water-repellent and handles light snow or drizzle, but it is not a waterproof rain jacket.

Yes, it has a stowable hood with a high collar that blocks wind.

The Nuptse is warmer, bulkier and boxier. The Down Sweater is lighter, trimmer and packs smaller but suits milder cold.

It uses 700-fill goose down with a high down-to-feather ratio, which is why it traps heat well for its weight.
