Super light, very warm, performs well in the rain and snow. Great for wearing in town and on trail. Very happy with it.
BTW, careful with the red colors, those are not just red, but fluorescent orange. Computer monitors don't do it justice. You will go blind. Mine is black. Wish Patagonia made a darker red, or lime or something like.
Puffin awesome

A great layer, it has taken the place of my much heavier and bulkier fleece on cool/cold weather outings. Packs down very tightly in its own chest pocket, super convenient for a pack or hanging off a harness. Personally I prefer the synthetic to down due to concerns of getting wet, though I have had the hoody out in light drizzle and the DWR seems to shed very well. Blocks the wind and keeps the heat in. Hood fits over climbing helmet with ease.

Patagonia Nano Puff or Down Sweater? I can't decide, they seem very similar other than their insulation materials. I will backpacking and climbing mostly, but I am hoping for something that I love enough to 'live out of'. Pros/Cons/Suggestions?
Ty Nelson
Member since
Tough call for sure! As far as hoodies go between the two I prefer the Nano. The hood is a pretty rad, slightly minimal design, and I love how it fits. Super versatile for around town and definitely something you could live out of, definitely awesome for climbing or backpackingas well. Down Sweater is going to give you a tad more warmth, the Nano will pack down a little smaller

This is a great go to jacket for all kinds of weather. I?ve used for cold Fall nights to bitter cold winter days and this things always keeps me warm! The nano-puff does an amazing job of insulating warmth and cutting down the wind on stormy days. Using it to shovel the drive way I can wear nothing but a t-shirt underneath and still keep warm. Other pluses are it packing down well for travel/camping, and as with all Patagonia items, is built with bomber construction!

The nano puff is a great piece of gear but unfortunately, it went back because it didn't fit. I started off with the Stoic Loft but the quality was awful and after many pulled stitches and ripped seams, I sent it back and got this. I started off with the large which was way too bulky in the chest, upper arms and waist. Tried the medium but the torso and sleeves were too short. At 6'1, 170 pounds, Patagonia doesn't really have a size that works for me which is unfortunate because they make bomber gear.

Pretty awesome jacket. Got it to replace a worn out eddie bauer ignitor puffy. Not quite as warm but plenty warm enough for ski touring in the Coast Mountains. I keep it in the pack for breaks and evenings. The pockets are big and I like that it packs into the breast pocket. Hood fits well over a helmet.

My daughter gave me this jacket for my birthday. Thought the silver color would look good on me, and it fit a gap between my down sweater, and my big-boy down. As a styler, it's great. Looks good, light, way comfortable, etc. Thought it was destined to become a work jacket. That's till it got good and cold, and I tried it out as a running jacket.
Well, ran at 2-below this morning, with a silkweight Cap t-shirt and this jacket. It is a wonderful, cold-weather running piece, but you need very little beneath. I wear the hood over a thin skull-cap-like beanie (top of the hood fits right behind my headlamp, and stays there), and can slide it back when the soft, winter sunrise brings some warmth. It handles wind well, vents easily, but does not move internal moisture well at all. Thus, dress light underneath. You'll be plenty warm for a 2 to 3 hour run, then you can shower and wear it to work.
This is a great jacket. Wear, and gear.
This is my go to

Love this jacket in so many ways.
1. Great warmth, ultra light
2. Great colors. See you coming a mile away
3. Wear it on my construction sites, wear it snowboarding, wear it climbing. Cool in the house, I reach for it.
4. Durable. My old black one is the new black one for my 13 yr old.
5. Between the three of us. We own (7)
6. Under soft shell, under rain shell. Great
7. Wet outside, still stayed warm while materials were damp.

The shell fabric uses a 15 denier thread if that's what you're referring to? It's got a DWR coating and is water resistant, so it doesn't carry a waterproof rating.

I usually wear Patagonia in a Medium. If I wear a Base, R1 and a Hardshell or Houdini will a Medium fit over all those items or should I go Large. Any thoughts?? Thanks.
Ty Nelson
Member since
If you want to wear the Nano over all of those pieces I'd go large. Personally I'd wear it under the shell for maximum warmth, and in that case I'd go medium.

gary289343

I'm trying to find the ideal mid layer for cold backcountry ski trips. Last year I bought a Montbell Thermawrap Guide, but with my Mountain Hardware conduit shell and thin poly base-layer, I'm sweating out the insulation. Example, three weeks ago I went on a simple 3 hour hike. Temps were 10 degF with about 30 mph winds. I had to bundle up pretty good, but at the end of the hike, I was freezing cold to discover my layers were completly sweated out. Therefore, I think the Thermawrap is just too warm to wear with a shell, but I desire a shell to protect the fragile shoft shells from damage in the backcountry and provide some water protection.
I also consider a hood a requirement for both additional confort if needed and also in case of emergencies, always good to have extra head protection.
Reading these other reviews leads me to believe the nano puff is also going to be too warm for my needs. When I compare the insulation between the nano and the thermawrap however, the Thermawrap has more than twice the insulation as the nano, which leads me to believe the nano is not as warm as the thermawrap, which is what I think I need.

Gary,
I'm not super familiar with the Thermalwrap Guide, but just looking at it on the site here, it's quite a bit warmer than a Nano Puff. It's got 150 grams of insulation vs 60 in a Nano. A Nano won't necessarily breathe, but I think it will be more comfortable than the thermalwrap. A couple more options to consider would be the Nano Puff Hybrid, or an R1 hoody combined with a Nano vest. The Nano Hybrid combines an R2 fleece and a Nano - R2 is a lofty fleece that breathes well and handles moisture well, but still insulates. With the Hybrid you would have the added warmth of the Nano sections, but still breathability in R2 sections. OR, the R1 is my skiing midlayer of choice. If you got that, and then had a Nano vest to toss on when it's really cold I think you could handle some pretty chilly temps.
Great Jacket.

I wear this jacket all the time here in Alaska. I wore it last late August in the Brooks range while sheep hunting where temps got down in the 20's. I wore it this November in Kodiak where temps were also in the 20s. This paired with a light baselayer underneath will keep you toasty. It also regulates heat well and I almost never sweat. It does not absorb water very well and Primaloft insulation retains about 96% of its insulation value while wet, so no worries if it does get wet. I'm about to buy my 2nd nano puff.
LOVE IT

i wear this everywhere all the time. anytime i see the forecast dip a little here in south china, i've stopped packing long sleeve shirts, i just stuff this into my pack. i've taken it as a midlayer skiing and mountaineering in the sierras. i wear it out to parties. i've essentially stopped wearing a rain jacket because this is just more convenient (although it isn't actually waterproof). it packs away nicely, it's super light, it washes easily, and looks super sharp.
it's pricey, but it's really worth every penny. i've gone through enough jackets and fleeces and midlayers, i think this one is here to stay. (plus, i hear patagonia has a pretty good product guarantee)
before you buy it right now, i'd wait for this to go on sale (or buy last season's) rather than buy it full price.
Can you see me

I think patagonia could take over the world with this jacket. I can't think of a more comfortable, functional puff for wear. From Kentucky to Washington, it fit every climate. Orange can be seen for miles.

Nice jacket. Well made-as Patagonia gear always is. Fits well in torso,but too snug in sleeves. Very curious as to why. I have the Patagonia unhooded jacket which fits fine.
Hoodie vs. jacket for layering?

Hoodie vs. jacket for layering?
Hey guys,
I'm currently planning an extended backpacking journey and am trying to be smart about planning my wardrobe for all climates. All the positive reviews have sold me on the nano puff as an outer layer in mild/cold climates and a midlayer under a gore tex shell in cold/wet climates. But I can't decide between the regular jacket and the hoodie. Do you guys get good use out of the hood? How bulky is it when it's not over your head? If you're wearing the hoodie as an insulating midlayer without the hood raised, does it get in the way under the collar of your shell? Does anyone who bought the hoodie wish they'd got the plain jacket instead?
ThankYou
Member since
I use a layer similar to this in exactly the way you described. As a midlayer under my waterproof shell, a hooded midlayer is useless and gets in this way. This is because I always run with a beanie, and my shell has a hood of its own (that is also waterproof and thus more useful). Bonus tip - when you go to bed you can ball up your puffy midlayer and use it as a pillow!
Ty Nelson

This hoody is awesome! The hood is low profile for an insulated jacket, and is super comfortable on.
great for travel/hiking/backpacking

Awesome warmth to weight ratio. It packs down small. Stuff it in a backpack and you hardly notice it. I'm 5'9" 145lbs and use a M. The small turned out to be a bit too short on length, although, the arm length was okay. Both sizes would work, it just depends how you intend to use the jacket. S for layering, M for your outside layer. I love this jacket. My only problem, it that when it warms up to around the 50's, its too warm.
