MEN'S NUPTSE® JACKET

Tibetan for "west peak", Nuptse is a mountain that lies just over a mile southwest of Mount Everest and is considered to be the western peak of this climbing gold mine. A coveted jacket among outdoor enthusiasts, the Nuptse® Jacket is a classic puffy jacket that thrives in cold weather conditions, such as those found at a Tibetan base camp. Constructed with 700 goose down fill, this high loft jacket delivers plush warmth in brutal conditions. Updated for 2009, this classic jacket now features a straighter yoke across the chest and an improved, more flattering fit.
