Men s nano puff jacket review.

Available at rei 100 satisfaction guaranteed. We tested the men s hoody version of this jacket and patagonia makes a women s nano puff hoody that costs the same 249 and is listed at 10 8 ounces. Born of shoulder season belay duty and quick hit ski tours the patagonia men s nano puff jacket traps body heat blocks wind and lets you move freely and it s made using 75 recycled materials. It is simple layers well and packs into its own pocket.

Aside from small changes in baffling design under the arms for a more women s specific fit and different colorways the jackets essentially are the same. It s been around forever and basically started the lightweight synthetic jacket category. After trying multiple jackets from other brands i came full circle back to the nano puff. I have so many patagonia jackets that when i was looking for a lighter insulated jacket i tried to find one that wasn t patagonia.

With a layer or two underneath it it s good down to the 30 s and with a t shirt or base layer it s not hot or clammy as some have experienced into the 50 s. Because it s thin it layers well under shells and winter coats. Mega classic durable and stylish. However many of its newer competitors are a bit lighter and warmer.
