A dependable synthetic midlayer that balances weight, packability and comfort.
Patagonia says:
We built the Nano Puff® Jacket for climbers who needed a weather-resistant, lightweight and packable synthetic insulation layer that could stay warm even when wet and withstand seasons of use. Ever since, those same features have made it the uncontested favorite midlayer for just about any outdoor pursuit. With fit refinements for improved mobility, 60-g PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation Eco 100% postconsumer recycled polyester with P.U.R.E.™ (Produced Using Reduced Emissions) technology, and a 100% recycled polyester shell and lining, this iteration of the Nano Puff reinforces why so many people call this the “magic jacket.” Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
Our Verdict
The Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket (347g Medium) offers reliable warmth for its size, using 60g synthetic insulation that stays effective even when wet. The recycled polyester shell resists wind well and sheds light rain with a PFAS-free DWR coating.
The fit is trim without feeling restrictive, and the longer body length layers cleanly under a shell. Two hand pockets and a zip chest pocket provide basic storage, with the jacket packing into its own chest pocket when not in use.
Breathability is modest, but more than adequate for low to moderate output. Durability is excellent for its category, stitching and fabric hold up well across repeated use and compression.
