How does this jacket compare to the Patagonia Nano Puff Pullover Insulated Jacket? Pros?, Cons?, bulk?, relative warmth? I'm thinking about them primarily as an insulating layer under a jacket while skiing. Thanks.

You're sorta comparing apples to oranges here. The nano puff is synthetic where as this is down. I believe that this would be warmer, but when wet, it'll be cold. On the other hand, the nano puff will keep you warm if it gets wet. This will be more compressible when in a backpack. However, this jacket will be a bit larger on the body and will probably feel bulkier when worn under a shell. The nano on the other hand, will probably feel more like another fleece (although much warmer) layer. For what it sounds like you'll be doing with it, I would recommend the nano puff. Either way, you can't go wrong and backcountry.com has an excellent return policy! If it doesn't work, switch it out.
