When the mercury drops,
nothing beats the Nuptse.

The original Nuptse Jacket was introduced in ‘92 as part of a pioneering Expedition System designed to take climbers to the highest peaks in the world. Taking its name from a Nepali peak, it would soon make a name for itself among climbers.

The first to incorporate an innovative new baffle construction that minimised down shifting and maximised warmth, it quickly became a mainstay in the mountains and beyond.

The original ’92 Nuptse is reborn for ’22.
A symbol of confidence. A badge for the bold.
Warmth that was relied upon in the high alpine
stands true on the streets around the world.
History is the promise. Nuptse is the proof.
