Toasty Warm
By Carl Clayton
Ranked #420 - Men's Down Jackets
February 25, 2008
I bought this jacket for a winter trip back to the UK, Usually I would use a rain jacket as typically it's wetter than colder back across the pond. I was glad I picked up the Nuptse jacket as the temp was below zero the moment I stepped out of the terminal, that factored in with the 20 - 30 MPH winds made me think of a chilly wait for the transportation to the rental car. Fear not, this jacket actually kept me not only warm but I had to crack the zipper open to vent some heat. You feel a bit like a blimp with the down but it's well worth if for the warnth this jacket keeps in. I like this jacket so much I bought the sleeveless version for thoise times when you just need to keep your inner core warm.
