Great Jacket

Member since
Im always hesitant when buying clothing offline, but i did well this time. im 5'11" and 165 with a normally deep chest. i got the large and it fits great. i ride bikes a lot and hoped for a longer tail to cover my lower back and this has enough length. But my favorite part of the jacket is definitely the hood. they may as well advertise built in earmuffs because when you tighten the hood chord it clinches on your ears and keeps the hood on tight and warm. this jacket is good for more colder temps then they advertise as well
Adequate

Primaloft Sport is a mediocre synthetic insulation and a bit of a rip off.
Micro puff
Alex Laugeman
Member since
This is my favorite jacket aside from the ones I snowboard in. A couple nights leaving work at 4am when it was 0 degrees in Salt Lake I would be brushing off my car and waiting for it to warm up, and I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't feel all that cold in this thing! The hood is awesome, you can cinch it down and you can feel it hug your ears...almost acting like earmuffs too. Packs really small in its stuff sack and is super light. I'm 6' and about 165 lbs and went with the XL. I like my stuff a little bigger so I can wear hoodies under it, and this fits perfectly.
Just okay - Marmot Trient Way Better

I replaced my Patagonia Micro Puff with Marmot Trient and I'm so glad. Marmot jacket sheds wind, rain and the shell/hood are exactly what I was looking for. Hood is totally adjustable with toogle cords on the sides and back of the hood. I've worn it in ranges from mid 30s to high 40s with just a light fleece or long sleeve tshirt.
Micro puff has limited temp ranges and the hood is only adjustable from the back so, you have to put your head into a kind of pocket. Marmot jacket is more durable, waterproof and great for wind. If you're debating about the Micro puff...check on the Marmot Trient
Warm Jacket

This is a great do it all jacket. It works for layering or by itself. I immediately noticed how warm this jacket is without a lot of bulk. Another nice feature is the DWR coating which beads moisture right off. This is another quality product from Patagonia.

This jacket is a great layering or stand-alone piece. It is very warm and fairly weather-resistant. The included stuff sack is nice and the jacket does pack down fairly small. This is heavier than my Arc'teryx Atom but it is also a few degrees warmer.
Best mid-layer ever!

I have always had great things to say about the Patagonia gear I own, but when I bought this jacket I was blown away. I have worn this almost everyday since I bought it. The fit is great (I am 5'10" and weight 165 and wear a medium) and I can layer it under a shell or wear it as is around town with just a t-shirt under and still be very warm. In fact this is so warm that I wear it out in near 0 degree weather with just a t shirt, and I have worn it in snow storms and not got wet yet. I would recommend this jacket to anyone who wants a good layering tool or would like a great jacket for hitting the town. I also love the styling of this jacket and think it looks fresh with anything I wear.
Buy it and you won't regret it.

Planning on a Thru Hike of the PCT, leaving this May. Was wondering if this would be a good option for a insulating piece? I know down is the warmest, lightest and most compressible but I was looking for a cheaper option if at all possible.

Member since
This layer is a great insulating layer. I have been wearing mine with just a t-shirt down to near 0 degrees F. It packs up fairly small for a synthetic layer and should pack well. I recommend this jacket!
great jacket

My husband got this jacket as a Christmas present and he's been wearing it every day since. He is very content with the warmth, design and feel of the jacket. Loves the string in the hood. He has long arms and this jacket has long enough sleeves for him! Used it as everyday jacket plus for outings in NH (admittedly the weather has been very mild so far this winter).
Best Puffy Hoody Around
ClimberRob
Member since
This is one of my favorite layers. Great mid-layer when it's really cold or dumping, and great, warm outer layer for crisp bluebird days. I now wear this more than my down hoody. The cut is perfect. I'm 6'4", slim, athletic build, and the Large fits great.
Best Mid-layer ever!

Does this have a smaller more normal hood, or a big helmet compatible hood?
Taylor Steele
Member since
The hood is pretty large. It fits my black diamond climbing helmet but heavily restricts motion. It is still possible to wear over the helmet but just wont be as comfortable. However it doesn't fit over my bern watts ski helmet. Hope this helped!
So, this looks pretty similar to the NF...

So, this looks pretty similar to the NF redpoint optimus, besides cuffs, different hood, and different insulation, ha... well somewhat similar. This is cheaper so is the Primaloft Sport not as warm as Primaloft One?
Tester
Member since
This also looks similar to the arcteryx atom LT and SV
Ty Nelson
Member since
Primaloft Sport is as warm as Primaloft One in similar weights, it just isn't quite as lofty and soft. Patagonia set out here to design a more durable and more affordable lightweight puffy than the Down Sweater and Nano Puff collections. I think it's a pretty awesome jacket, and compared to the redpoint, you definitely get a lot more bang for your buck with the Micro Puff here.
johndiggity
Member since
It's heavier than both Atom jackets, though the Atom SV is loftier. Unlike both of those jackets, the Micro Puff has no fleece or tricot panels on the sides. It does however, have an adjustable hood and hook and loop closures on the cuffs, which both Arcteryx jackets do not.
Isaac Rogers
Member since
johndiggity is wrong on a couple things here. Only the Atom LT has Polartec fleece side panels, the SV is all Coreloft. Also the cuffs on the Patagonia are not hook and loop they are elastic just like the Arcteryx options.
Now my two cents is that this jacket is essentially a perfect copy of the Atom SV with the loft of the Atom LT in a package that can be had for half the price. Having owned all these synthetics and more I can suggest that if you want more loft than this don't waste your money on the Atom SV go with a 100g Primaloft One jacket like the First Ascent Igniter or a marmot/montbell synthetic.
johndiggity
Member since
You're correct - I was wrong about the hook and loop on the sleeves. I got the Micro Puff mixed up with the FA Igniter (I tried them both on the same weekend). However the Atom SV does have some stretch material under the arm pits for ventilation. Sorry if I was unclear.
For an extra $20, I'd go with the FA Igniter. It's a tad lighter, but you get better hood and gauntlet adjustments.
