The Nuptse from The North Face, from the Himalayas to the street
The Nuptse gets its name from a peak in the Himalayas, near Everest. Launched by The North Face in 1992 as part of its expedition range, it was based on high-loft down, spread across large stitched compartments to prevent migration. Its generous volume and contrasting shoulders later appealed to the hip-hop scene, making it a cult piece of streetwear. The retro version takes inspiration from the 1990s, featuring a jacket that withstands dry cold while maintaining a distinctive look.

Pyrenex and JOTT: two French down expertise
Pyrenex has been working with down since 1859 in Saint-Sever, in the Landes, at the foot of the Pyrenees: the company manages itself the duck and goose down sourced from farms in the South-West. Its Mythic, inspired by vintage designs, features generous filling. JOTT, which stands for Just Over The Top, was born in Marseille in 2010 with a simple idea: a thin, lightweight, compressible jacket that fits into a bag. The Nico, with or without a hood, is its iconic model, suitable for wearing alone in mid-season or as a mid-layer when the cold sets in.
Down or synthetic: understanding the filling of a puffer jacket
A puffer jacket insulates thanks to the air trapped in its filling. Natural down, measured by its loft, offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio and compresses into a small volume; however, it loses its effectiveness when wet. Synthetic fibres, like those in the Ragwear Gonny, from a German brand that uses no animal materials, maintain their insulating power even when wet and dry faster. The reversible Helly Hansen Urban offers two sides for one filling, while the Superdry Everest or Fuji cover all uses, from everyday wear to harsh cold.
Parajumpers, Blauer, Schott: urban style in winter
Several brands have turned the puffer jacket into a style statement. The Parajumpers Pharrell, with a hood, takes cues from the Italian brand, inspired by the gear of parachute rescue workers. Blauer, founded in the USA in 1936 and known for its police uniforms, creates the Albert, understated and warm. The hooded puffer Schott, from the New York-based house founded in 1913, adopts a robust cut. Lyle & Scott, with its embroidered eagle, Blend, Urban Classics, and Project X Paris, featuring a faux-fur aviator collar model, round out the urban offer.
Frequently asked questions
How to wash a men’s down jacket?
Wash it alone, zipped up, at 30 degrees on a delicate cycle with a special down detergent. Then tumble dry it on a low heat with two tennis balls, which break up the clusters of feathers.
How do JOTT jackets fit?
JOTT jackets have a rather fitted cut, designed to be worn close to the body or as a mid-layer. If you plan to wear it over multiple layers, going one size up might be more comfortable.
Sleeveless or long-sleeved jacket for a man?
The sleeveless version layers well and leaves the arms free, perfect for mid-season or cycling. The long-sleeved puffer, like the Pyrenex Mythic, provides real protection against winter cold.
How to restore loft to a flattened down jacket?
Shake it vigorously by holding it from the bottom, then put it in the tumble dryer on low heat for a few minutes with drying balls. The down redistributes itself in the compartments.
How to store a down jacket in summer?
Clean it before storing, then keep it hung or folded without compression in a breathable cover. A compression bag, handy for travel, can permanently crush the down if used for storage.
