The Nuptse has been delivering game-changing warmth since 1992 and no other jacket has journeyed so naturally from the mountains to city streets. The Teens’ 1996 Retro Nuptse Gilet is a modern reincarnation of the icon, built for young adults. We’ve kept most things the same: the same boxy silhouette; the same shiny ripstop fabric; the same exposed zip and diagonal hand pockets and, of course, the same oversized baffles. The only change is upgrading to 700-fill of responsibly-sourced down. It’s also made with recycled materials, making it kinder to nature.
