David, the Nano Puff has a little bit of a sheen to it but I wouldn't call it shiny at all in person.

Sorry, I don't think any other sizes will be available in time for the promotion. Nano Puffs were a runaway hit this year and sold very quickly.

Yes, we do have some smalls on order and they should arrive around the 1st of December. Thanks

The interior lining for the Nano Puff is the same as the exterior shell. Still fairly soft and smooth against the skin and doesn't get too clammy when you heat up.

The Nano Puff's very warm, I wear mine outside a ton on it's own during the winter and it's fine. Maybe for the coldest and nastiest days you'll want something more, but it's definitely more than just a fall sweater and if you layer a fleece underneath you can be comfortable in some pretty cold temps

Beyond fall you'd need another layer. "Nano" puff is quite thin. This is like a sweater with synthetic insulation instead of wool. Chicago's going to get way too cold for this to be your actual jacket deep into fall and certainly winter, though it'd make a great insulating layer under a shell and over a base or two.

Wes, I think a large would still fit you as well and make for a super comfortable fit. Medium would be ok, but with a little less length and not as much room for layering underneath.

go large for sure. We're similar height and weight and I love my large. Medium would be a little short and with not quite enough room for an R1 or softshell underneath.

If you want to wear a bunch of stuff under it, you will probably need a large. I think you would be better off layering over this jacket, not under. It's made to fit somewhat snug and I think you will have great mobility with a medium. I am leaning towards a medium but I'm worried that it could be a little short for you. It's a tough call.

Can we discuss the sweetness of the Bonfire Orange?

This would be solid in the 30-40 degree range. Warmth is tricky to judge because it varies greatly depending on what other layers are being warm and personal factors like body type and activity level. With a fleece vest over it and walking I personally would be fine in it down into maybe the 20's if walking around town. Ultimately this is more of a light weight layering piece than your typical insulating winter jacket. Hope my opinions help.

I would agree I wear an XL in the Capilenes and they fit perfect on me but when I tried on the Large nano it was a little short in the sleeves and waist, so sizing is consistent and an XL is what I need in the nano. Note that it is not a fitted piece, and leans towards the boxy side, but all in all it is an awesome layer. In my opinion go with the Large.

Jonathan,
I'm 6'1" 170 and very stoked on my large, I couldn't wear a medium. I think if you consistently wear a large in the Patagonia Capilene you'll be happy with a large Nano Puff. Also there's some room to layer, but I've never worn more than a piece or two of capilene or wool underneath mine.
