Patagonia Ultralight Down Shirt - Men's

January 18, 2011

The Patagonia Down Shirt is the latest in Patagonia's lightweight insulation collection, and as far as we know it's the lightest down piece on the market right now. It's truly a shirt - no pockets, but comes with it's own stuff sack. In comparison to Patagonia's Nano Puff, the Down Shirt is half the weight. Feels like nothing when you pick it up or put it on, and is super comfortable to wear. Throw it on over a long sleeve base layer and you're good to go into some pretty chilly temps. The shell fabric is a lightweight nylon that's very durable and abrasion resistant. Just a little bit of 800 fill down gives you great warmth without overheating, and once packed away the shirt takes up practically no room in a pack.

I love this jacket for a lightweight ski piece, and my go to touring jacket. Super lightweight, durable, and blocks wind and moisture really well.

YIM,
I'd maybe go large here for you, the Ultralight Down Hoody is a bit more of a trim fit than the Down Sweater.

Patagonia Backcountry Guide Softshell Pant - Men's

I wouldn't call the legs on the Backcountry Guide baggy at all - I've never ice climbed in them, but I use them for ski touring and think the fit is spot on - room to move, but not too loose.

Mar,
I'd say the hood is just about right, not snug necessarily, but definitely not a massive hood to get caught in the wind.

I think you should go for a large here to make sure that you've got plenty of room for your Nano underneath.
