This vest takes inspiration from the iconic 1996 Nuptse Vest, featuring original shiny ripstop fabric with a DWR finish. Its oversized baffles and stowable hood, which can be packed into the collar, pay tribute to the 1996 Nuptse design. Additionally, the vest includes an exposed VISLON center front zip and is crafted from 100% recycled nylon ripstop with a non-PFC durable water-repellent finish and 700 goose fill down for added warmth. Other features include secure-zip hand pockets, a bungee cinch at the hem, and an embroidered logo on the left chest and back-right shoulder.
