I purchased this jacket to use on a trip to Iceland and Norway. Light weight, very packable, surprisingly warm (Iceland is cold, even in July). I did a lot of climbing and hiking and was very happy to have this jacket along. Another fine Patagonia product.
Ive been buying and wearing the Nano Puff Jacket since it was originally introduced. Its very versatile, works well in a broad range of temps, and is excellent as both insulation and outerwear. At a certain point Patagonia streamlined the fit making it more fitted which I very much prefer. However, it does have a big DESIGN FLAW; the POCKET ZIPPERS... Read More. The teeth of the zippers are very fine and catch the quilt stitching on the sleeves when the sleeves brush by the body of the jacket (e.g. rowing movement; arms swinging etc.). The result is many pulled and ripped stitches on the body side of the sleeves. This could easily be rectified by using zippers with wider teeth with rounded edges. Patagonia, PLEASE address this problem. Thank you.
Just got a Nano puff Fall 19 size M and its really tight in chest, back and arm holes. Fits well everywhere else. Im 57 about 170lbs. Feels like jacket is going to rip in back if I move my arms too much. If you have narrow shoulders and chest might work for you. Will probably return it.
I purchased this product for my son and had to return the first one, because of several holes in the sleeves. Now in this new jacket which he's had for 3 months there is a big gash in the arm. This is not for an active individual. The filling is coming out all over the place.
Hi Elizabeth. We are so sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with the Nano Puff® Jacket. While it is a great jacket for an active person, it should be layered with a [hard shell](https://www.patagonia.com/shop/mens-hard-shell-jackets-vests) depending on the type of activity it is used for. As always your jacket is covered under our Ironclad Guarantee. You can send it in as a [Return or Repair](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) with us at anytime.

LEGIT
I have been very pleased with this item; to the level of warmth it keeps for a thin coat to the amount of wind it blocks. Truly ideal for layering. Thank you Patagonia!!
I like this jacket to layer with my hard-shells, since it provides good warmth without the bulk. By itself, it can handle cold and windy weather down to mid forties temperatures, with only a t-shirt underneath. For reference, this jacket is about 5 - 10 degrees less warmer than the micro-puff, and about 15 - 20 degrees less warmer than a Silent Dow... Read Moren jacket. It is the perfect jacket that also feels slightly fitted and thus very stylish, for chilling weather between 45 to 59 when you don't feel like wearing additional warm layers underneath.
As a skier who is on the hill multiple times each week and an avid Ice Fisherman I am always upgrading my apparel as money will allow. This was a great addition. Much lighter and less bulky than fleece or soft-shells that I had worn as mid layers. Also much warmer! The fit was exactly as expected from Patagonia. Highly Recommend.
This jacket it awesome. Its warm and comfortable even in rough weather. I ordered a medium and its just a little tight around my chest and arms, but still worth 5 stars.
I purchased one for my son and one for a friend. My son already owned one and added another to his Christmas list...I could hardly say no, because I own two myself. It's a great layering piece under a rain coat, and compresses down to hardly anything for traveling or back packing.
Once I got my first Nanopuff jacket, I had to order another because someone in my household was always “borrowing” it. Now, my husband and both our kids have them and they have become a winter staple for us. Remarkably, they are light enough and breathe well enough to be appropriate for SoCal winter evenings, which can be cool but not cold, yet sti...

Nearly perfect piece of gear, with one small quirk
I've owned a total of three Nano Puffs now, 2 jackets and 1 hoodie. I feel like this is the most go-to piece of Patagonia gear everyone who spends any time outdoors should own (that, and at least a couple of R1 pieces!). However, might I suggest one small design upgrade that would make these pieces perfect: when you have the side pockets unzip... Read Moreped (as I usually always do), right off the bat, or eventually, the baffle stitching on the sleeves that run parallel to the length of the sleeves will start to snag on the teeth of the zippers on the pockets. This results in pulled threads, torn threads, and baffles ultimately coming unstitched altogether. I would suggest Patagonia design these so that the side pocket zippers are more hidden, or at least protected by another layer of material to avoid the threads of the sleeves getting snagged.
Hi Brian, thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review! We truly appreciate this feedback as it's crucial to improving products for future seasons. We've passed this along to our design crew!
Jacket fits great. I’m 5’10” 180#
I bought medium.
I wore it skiing 2 days so far. I examined the jacket and there were no broken threads, like other reviews stated.
I love the Nano Puff jacket. I am prone to overheating, but in the Nano Puff, I can stay warm when it's cold and remain comfortable when it's mild. I also like that it's light and non-restrictive.
We have now purchased five of these jackets over the last 8-9 years; all are still in operation. They offer excellent warmth as a layer and on its own. Highly recommend.
Ordered the jacket for my hubby. He is 6'3 and has long arms. He wanted something not too bulky but warm. Of course this was the perfect choice for him! Have to love and respect a company like Patagonia! I recently bought another for my father too!
I have worn a Nano Puff for a couple of years and have loved it. Amazingly versatile! I mistakenly ordered another jacket when I meant to order the hoodie version so I will be returning this one, but only because I want a hood for some extra warmth and versatility.
I'm a HUGE fan of the Nano Puff and currently own a FA17 (Fall of 2017) model. I love it and it fits great in all the right places. However, I went to buy a new one and was shocked how it fit. I double-checked the tag thinking that I accidentally put on a slim-fit. Nope, it said regular fit. I bought it, and took it home to compare with my old... Read More one. Yep, sure enough, the fit had changed. Ended up returning it :(
Would I recommend to a friend? Yes and no. It's a great jacket, if it fits you.
Recently, on vacation to a colder climate, my husband wore my Nano-Puff pullover as a base layer for half our trip and kept talking about how comfortable and warm it was. Hint taken! I bought him a Nano-Puff full-zip jacket for Christmas, and he can't stop raving about how warm and lightweight it is. I know, in time, he'll also be excited... Read More about how small it packs down.
This was a gift for my son, he loves it. We ordered a small which wasn't a good fit but he was able to go into a retail store to do a quick exchange. Great service.
I bought this for my husband as a Christmas gift. He loves Patagonia, and this color. This jacket is perfect for when it’s a little chilly AND for when it’s colder outside. It’s also easy to keep clean.
I got One in navy color for my son Medium. Fits his body like glove. Light and easy to pack . It will be used as under layer for shell skiing jacket too.
Great coat. Fit great which is sometimes a issue for me being 6'2". Arms and length were good. (bought a XL)
Only issue I had with it was I wish it were warmer. Seems too light for what I was hoping for, but that is not on the Patagonia. They obviously offer different models for all types of weather. I had the jacket on in 25 degree wea... Read Morether and I was cold.
My husband loves the fit, lightness and full zip of this jacket. They last forever. But truthfully, about every 5 years it’s another Christmas gift fab.
I love the consistency of Patagonia products. Had the pullover and wanted a full zip for other activities. The carbon color is the perfect shade of green and just what I was looking for. Fits perfect, warm, and looks fly!
Great for packing and wearing. Threads seem to be falling apart in less than two months.
Great jacket for layering and packing. I travel very often and this jacket is very convenient for packing and layering with professional looking clothes. One concern I have is about the jackets overall thread construction and quality. My jacket with several weeks of light wear showed loose and weakening threads from the arms of the jacket where the... Read More arms typically lay against the zippers. This jacket went from being my most professional and sharpest looking jacket to being one I do not wear in professional situations hence the fraying threads. Note to Patagonia please strengthen threads or something to mitigate this weakness. Much appreciation and thanks.
Lightweight and compressible xx easy to pack. Good for all day at 20F. Great for short time outside at -4F (30 minutes) doing chores (chopping wood). I wear welders gauntlets to protect the sleeves while doing chores.
I looked into a dozen more affordable similar jackets but wanted the quality and lightweight that comes with Patagonia...I'm extremely pleased with no regrets.
I find it provides better wind protection than my synchilla jackets, it is warm without being bulky, it has an internal chest pocket for my reading or sun glasses, and it packs easily.
175lbs, 6'3", 41L suit jacket, 35/36 dress shirt sleeve, 32" waist, cardio-athlete. I ordered the medium (navy) online, but will be exchanging for a large. The sleeves were a good length, and the waist fit nicely, but the upper chest felt like a small -- tight in the armpits and tight across the shoulder blades. I also ordered a size... Read More M (black) down sweater jacket, which had 1" longer sleeves, and fit me like it was bespoke. If you're built like me, then get a medium down sweater instead of the medium nano puff.
I love this warm adorable jacket. I love in Southern California where it doesn’t get really cold but I travel to Park City Utah a lot during the winter. This jacket is great for chilling So Cal days but will keep me warm in freezing weather in Utah.
Our family of four really enjoys several Patagonia jackets, sweaters and beanies. I travel a lot with my work and the Nano Puff coat and vest packs ultra small. I highly recommend Patagonia products to everyone.
This is an excellent cool weather jacket. Most times it is enough just by itself and for really cold Colorado weather, a thermal vest or heavy shirt under the jacket works just fine.
This is the fifth? sixth? Nano jacket I've bought for my husband. I keep thinking that he'll choose another style -- but he says "This is still my favorite!"
This is my 3rd one. The first one is still going; Tattered from use around the farm and in the shop; The second one was my town coat but it got a little tear and now will replace the first one; The third one is now my sparkly town coat. Great layering item for cool and cold temperatures.
Bought this classic - again -- this color / a lemon-lime - has caught a lot of compliments already. This coat works great for layering - nice slim line fit - works fine for 6'5" height - sleeves fit fine.
Would like to buy another one with the hood - very practical item that will get a lot of use.
Really like the weight to insulative value . Never too warm, never cold. Very light weight air cloud feel.

I bought a men’s large nano puff jacket approx 4 years ago and it has served me well. I ordered another one same jacket, same size and it must be cut smaller because it does not fit the same and I’m the same size when I ordered previously. I love this product but am disappointed because it doesn’t fit like I wanted it to.
We are sorry that this jacket didn't fit like you'd prefer it to. We welcome you to [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return) this back to us for a refund or we can help you with an exchange if you'd like to try a different size. Thanks for the feedback on this!
Love my Nano Puff Jacket. Wear it as a base layer while waterfowl hunting and does an excellent job suppressing the cold. Have also dressed it up and worn to the office. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is for fit. I’m 6.4 and weigh 200lbs. The large is still baggy around the waste. Really wish there were tall options.
This is my second one of these jackets. It's light weight and comfy! I wear them every day to work, but also as a base layer under a shell for winter hiking. Love Patagonia stuff!
Love it. So light you don’t know you’re wearing it. 2 easy-zip hand warmer pockets, draw string waist. Can wear it as a base layer shirt or out as a jacket.
Weight to warmth ratio is crazy. I have been wearing the pullover version of this for the last 8 years and have transitioned it to a work coat. The heat I produce in this coat/jacket is too much for any strenuous activity no matter the temperature. Even shoveling snow, I have to have it unzipped.

I have the down sweater, but the nano puff ( in my opinion) is the better jacket. i am going to be recycling the down sweater back to Patagonia. I am 6’ 0 with broad shoulders and the XL fits perfectly.
I live in a moderate coastal climate in Oregon. The NanoPuff works perfectly for this climate. And it's so light I can stuff it and bring it along on those in-between days when it's not cold enough to wear it when hiking but light enough I'll never leave it behind;
I have always wanted one and now I have it. It is so comfortable! It keeps me warm when it’s cold and I don’t get too hot as the temperature rises. I want to wear it everyday
Got this for our 12 yo son, who has outgrown the "boys" section (long & lanky). This jacket is a little big, but we figured that he would be able to grow into it. So far, it has proven to be great (he's only had it a week) and best of all, he doesn't mind "putting on a jacket" to go out and play...
I am in between L & XL, but chose XL jacket so I had room to wear layers or a vest under the jacket. Happy with the jacket & color. Trust it will last a while like the other Patagonia products I have bought.
I received a Patagonia jacket from a friend recent and was very surprised on how it fit to its comfort and warmth. I would highly recommend it friends and family.
I got one for my husband last year. He absolutely loves it! So this year I purchased one for my son for Christmas. I know he will love it too. It is super warm but not bulky! Great quality & superb customer service!
Super light weight, super thin, but surprisingly warm and wind proof, which makes it even warmer. My new go-to when its all the way down to the mid twenties outside. You'll love this jacket!
I bought this jacket as a birthday gift for my husband. He is a long time Patagonia customer, and this jacket did not disappoint. He loved the balkan blue color and he said the material is so soft.
If you couldn't tell by the title...I LOVE THIS JACKET! Perfect lightweight jacket for 30-40 degrees. So light you almost don't know its on. Patagonia rules...Thank you
Perfect jacket for South Texas Winters. Handles temps in the 30/40 great. Even while biking. The jacket is super soft and lite and perfect to shed and stow as the day warms up.
A comment on size. I'm 6 feet and a large fits perfect.
For any long - armed tall guys out there, you know it's hard to find -anything- that fits both your body and your arms. This jacket fits snug to the body and also plenty of length in the arms.

So warm and looks great
The jacket is so lightweight and warm. I will definitely look into getting a longer one in the next few years.
It is really warm and looks great.
I live in this jacket. As a fly fishing guide, I am on the water every day and always have this jacket. Whether it's a top layer at 60 degrees in the evening chill or a base layer at 20 degrees in the crisp morning air!
The Nano Puff is the everyday workhorse in my outerwear wardrobe. I have many insulated jackets, but when I head outside and anticipate getting dirty, I grab a Nano Puff.
You just can’t beat Patagonia for quality. This jacket is lightweight and quite comfortable. I bought it as a match for my Nano Puff vest, which I wear most every day. I bought the same size as my vest (a Large). The sleeves on the jacket are a bit long but I can live with that - when walking in the cold I often pull the sleeves down over my hands ... Read More- very comfy.
My son loves this jacket! Was bday prez for which delivery address had to be changed so it would arrive on right day (crucial since we were all traveling). P customer service was awesome. Extremely grateful!!!
I love the look and how lightweight it is. Ultimately the armpits are cut too narrow for my husband. Has broad shoulders and a small waist and this fit doesn’t work on him. Unfortunately we will have to return it!
I have 2, the one I have not washed as much is much fluffier. I recommend not using a dryer, dry clean if possible. Best jacket I have ever owned I pack it wherever I go.
Looking everywhere in every catalogue is a little frustrating ,but my son ,the recipient of the jacket kept reminding me of his previous nano puff jacket which he wore in bitterly cold Michigan as an underlayer and now he lives in New York City with much milder temperatures .This jacket fit the bill!
Very comfortable well built jacket! Lightweight and very warm! Highly recommend this jacket for anyone looking for a versatile jacket perfect for multiple occasions and lifestyles.
Great jacket. I can wear in temps to 24F with only a summer shirt. Light, compressible easy to pack. Works as the outer layer or inner layer. Blocks wind.
Love the jacket, provides plenty of warmth for temperatures in the 20s & 30s, and is lightweight allowing movement for activities and can be worn to the office without looking bulky
This is my second Nano Puff jacket and I absolutely love it! This lightweight coat keeps me surprisingly warm during hikes, on the river, and around town. My only complaint? The second jacket started losing its threads by the second day. I wasn't even hard on it. I would still recommend this piece but I am less than happy with the quality.
Hey there Brendan! Thank you for your feedback on the Nano Puff Jacket and sorry to hear that the threads are coming out. You can use some Tenacious Tape or a dab of super glue on the ends of those threads to keep them from unraveling further.

I love my Nano Puff
This is my second Nano Puff, the first of which I wore so much it became threadbare in many places. I'm pretty hard on my clothing and my Nano just kept on working. Eventually I snagged the zipper area and totally destroyed it but with the iron clad guarantee I am now wearing a shiny new one.
I have had this jacket for almost a year now, and I absolutely love it. I wore it mostly while sailing and acts as a great windbreaker providing warmth, keeping me dry from slashing water.
I've been wanting a Nano Puff for years and I finally purchased one. This jacket should be in every outdoor enthusiasts closet. Lightweight, keeps you warm and layers well.
Perfect weight, and well made makes this jacket ideal for any outdoor activity in cool weather. Converts to mid layer in the winter. I like the recycling effort Patagonia tries to employ.
I personally feel everyone needs at least one puff jacket in their inventory. The nano puff is my new go to as a light outer layer and low impact base layer.

Since 1977 I have always been pleased with Patagonia’s design and quality. The Nanopuff jacket provides warmth and mobility for Minnesota’s chores. Great stuff.
This is my second nano puff - I received my 1st as a gift 3 years ago and it became my every day 'grab'. It is bright green (which was great for Ireland) but my friends and family though it high time to get a new one so I could rotate the colors!
I jumped on to one of the annual 50% off sales and did not see a women's puff in the color or size I liked, so I decided to try a "men's" puff. I wear a M in women's and decided to try a S in men's. It does fit a bit differently than the women's jacket with longer arms, but the rest of the measurements are pretty ... Read Moresimilar. I love that the nanopuffs are made from recycled materials. They are good for chilly days, but can also be layered with other items for really cold days.
Pleased so far, but it is still quite warm here, so waiting for winter to see how I really like it. I like that it is made from 75% recycled materials, is light weight, water resistant, and stuffs into its own pocket and that I caught it on sale.
Light weight, packable, comfy, funky inner lining which actually allows you to use it backwards! For real! (Brick color). It fits a little odd though, sleeves to long and tide body on a 6’2” 205 lbs guy (on the slim to normal build) the down sweater fits way better but left lots of feathers on clothes.
I bought this jacket to use under a Micro Puff Storm Jacket I bought last March. The storm jacket was warm enough for temps in the 30’s and 40’s in upstate NY in March, but I sensed it wouldn’t be adequate on a 10 degree day in January without a warm under layer. The Nano Puff jacket has a slim fit and works perfectly under the more roomy fit of th... Read Moree storm jacket. I now have an extremely lightweight double layer that can handle the colder temps.
The Adobe Brick Nano Puff looks so good that I’m sure I’ll be using it by itself as well.
First one was so great, I bought a second one so that my son would stop borrowing mine! Lightweight, packs small, and comes in handy on our camping trips.
I bought this jacket for an August trip to Iceland. It is so easy to pack and kept me warm even in high winds. I will be taking in with me every time I travel to cool weather destinations.
For a light weight insulating layer it’s pretty good. I bought this to replace a basic 650 fill down puffy that was at the end of its life.

The fit is just ok for me. it’s a little more boxy in the shoulders than I need and the waist has a tendency to ride up kinda wei... Read Morerd when I’m sitting.

This is the second Patagonia jacket I've had in green. Both have shown dark discoloring around the inside of the collar. So weird. It's not like I sweat profusely or don't bathe. I don't get it. Maybe it happens on my black puffer but I just can't see it.
We're sorry to hear this! Those stains appear due to natural skin oils rubbing against that specific area and do not affect the performance of the jacket. However, we understand if you'd prefer to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it.

Too tight in the armpits
I had to return the jacket as it was too tight in the arm pits.
I knew you had a good product but was always scared off by the price. Well now that I got past that mental block I know why they cost a bit more is because that are worth it. You get what you pay for. A great jacket worth every penny. I will buy more Patagonia products as I have a need. Love them.
Packable. Warm. Comfortable. This is the perfect layer. Heavy enough to keep you warm on most occasions. If you find yourself in very cold weather, pair this jacket with proper layering and you’ll find yourself warm without the feeling of being weighed down. Oh yeah, it also packs into a nice pillow for traveling!
This is a re-review. I have now had the jacket for several months, with some serious hiking and backpacking, along with multiple bike commutes in PNW winter. It is amazing in warmth to weight! Stuffs away in pack or travel bag to almost nothing, but keeps me warm and dry. Great under a rainshell or by itself in light rain. Pockets big enough for an... Read More extra camera lens or thermos cup, or hat and gloves. There are complaints about the light weight fabric. I would not wear this jacket without a cover whilst doing serious rock climbing, as I am sure it would shred the fabric, but that is easily avoided, and I am too old for that anyway. But it has served well in the back country with care for its inherent fragility. In my opinion/experience, it second only to my stand up shorts as the best outdoor garment ever.
This is not an insta-cozy winter coat and I always start out a little too cold, but it's great for active pursuits in cold weather. It warms up well without overheating. Fits slim overall. I really like the low profile hood for under a helmet.
I love this jacket, it is the most versatile jacket I own and extremely warm for how light it is! Patagonia makes the utmost amazing products and clothing and this is a piece everyone should own.
I take my Nano Puff everywhere as it is breathable yet protective against all weather situations and packs down very small. Great all around jacket for city our outdoor use!
Fit is quite slim. My husband exchanged his usual medium for a large. It is a bit too large in shoulders and long in arms. He is slim, but the jacket cut is not for him. Otherwise just what he wanted.
Nothing is better for traveling than this jacket. In unpredictable spring weather this jacket is as welcome as a satin edged toodler’s security blankie!
I bought this for playing golf on chilly fall days. It is a perfect jacket for this, lightweight and with full arm movement - other than being warm, it feels like nothing’s on!
We are sorry to hear that the sizing didn't quite work out. Please be sure to keep an eye out for our upcoming season releases as we are rolling out additional sizes!

Perfect!
Works great, in cold or warm weather. This will be your go to, and without the hood allows for more wear.
It was a fit thing for me. The large was too big and the medium too small. I’m a “normal” build 5’10 180 lbs. I was surprised , and bummed, I couldn’t find a fit.
We're sorry to hear the jacket's fit didn't work out. Please feel free to reach out to our [Customer Service team](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) if you'd like to return that.

Cons: After 3 months of wear, have quite a few pulls and lose threads at the stitching over the jacket. Considering the cost and reputation for quality, I would not expect to see this. If not for this one i... Read Moressue, I’d rate it 5 stars.
Warm, light, yes. Durable, no. Material is very delicate. Insulation popping out everywhere from micro-tears. Zipper broke.

5'11" 200 lbs athletic build. This jacket does what its intended for, which is to be part of a layering system. If you aren't an outdoor athlete/sportsman this jacket is probably not for you. It is not an around town jacket by itself if it's below 30-40 but held up in below zero temps on lake Superior with 20mph gust as part of ... Read Moremy layering system(windproof shell, heavy fleece and wicking base layer). With most Patagonia clothing I feel this is overpriced and definitely too fragile for the price. If you have a shell on with velcro wrist adjustments they will quickly catch the nano's elastic wrist bands and start pulling them apart, this is an easy fix that Patagonia should address. As others have stated the baffle stitching will start pulling loose here and there. All this wear happened the first time I used it on a four day snowshoe expedition. If your looking for a mid layer to add to your system this is pretty decent, it's light, not bulky and helps keep the wind out while keeping the heat in. With that said you could still find a better jacket for cheaper, but Patagonia does do a lot to try and bring awareness to environmental problems and puts its money into helping preserve all the great places this planet has to explore.
I wear this jacket in cold and 20km wind weather when I was fishing, but I felt very warm especially with the puf pants as well. The jacker is really light weight and windproof, comfortable as well.
I bought it on sale so the price was more agreeable. The jacket is great down to 32 F for me, and it packs away super tight, so that’s nice. Only problem is that it snags kinda easy, even on its own zipper, but that can be avoided if you’re careful enough.
Got this jacket at a gift at Christmas and love it. Very light weight and comfortable while providing great warmth.

Looks great, but if you're anywhere up close, it looks like a jacket I've worn for years.
Wear the jacket all the time. Usually under gorex. I live in Juneau. Wet and an on the coldish side. Light weight. Fabric durable for me but the zipper comes off the track. I see these thin plastic zipper's

I bought this jacket in micro green last December. It fits great and is more than warm enough for most winter weather in Georgia. I receive compliments from coworkers almost every time I wear it. Great quality and worth the price.
Let me start off by saying that this is ALMOST the best jacket I have ever bought. It is warm, light weight, and such an amazing all around jacket with a horrible side effect.

Just purchased new Nano Puff to replace my old one. Bought same M size - much too tight in shoulders/armpits and sleeves too long. I know a lot of Patagonia customers are lanky climbers, but a lot more aren't at this point! I'm 6'1" 180 lbs and unfortunately large would be too big because I'd have to roll up the cuffs.
The Nano puff will keep you warm but I would not plan on using this for real outdoor activities. The shell material is very lightweight but is prone to snags. I wouldn't go hiking in this jacket because after an hour the shell would be wreaked. Also, the jacket does run small. I am 5' 9" and had to get a large.
I have had this jacket for two years and I love it. The fit is great and it is surprisingly warm down to 0°F. I’ve even worn it sailing wear I was soaking wet.

I've owned a couple of Nano Puff jackets over the years and they have been great for all outdoor activities with lengthy sleeves and looser fit.

The Micro Puff is even slimmer and I did not notice much difference between the two! Don't fix what ain't broke.
My son is an outdoor enthusiast, skier, hiker and wears this everyday to school in the Northeast. He absolutely LOVES this jacket, however he has had it for about a year, and the zipper is broken-
I just packed it up to send back for a repair and am hoping that Patagonia can fix it with their ironclad guarantee!!!
I have had this jacket for less than four months. It is falling apart. The very first time I wore it it, filling pulled out in front. Since, small tears opened up in the sleeves and on the back of the jacket.
I didn’t want to believe it...but it’s true, the fit has changed for the worse. I ALWAYS wear a medium in Patagonia, and have owned two Nano Puffs and countless other Patty items.

This is the best outerwear purchase I’ve ever made. It can be worn in such a wide range of temps all while keeping you incredibly comfortable. It’s also very stylish and I receive compliments all the time. Great quality, this jacket checks all the boxes!
I’m 5’10” 180 lbs and the medium fits great. I can wear it with either a t or base layer and a light fleece. It’s surprisingly warm, due to being wind proof and is very lightweight. It packs down very small too. Highly recommend.
Nice jacket but poor fit for a tall average build male.

I also returned 2 R1 top pullovers and last year I was given a gift of the R1 pant and have not worn them at all other than to try on. Ill probably give them to a local thrift store. For a company that sells generally overpriced products made in 3rd world countries I guess I should expect nothing less.

I am new to Patagonia, this Nano Puff jacket is my first purchase and I didn’t know much about the brand prior to purchasing.

The jacket is nice but looks older than what it is from just wearing to work or casually going out. Not sure if others have the same experience but it’s sad because the jacket is awesome otherwise. Maybe I got a defective one or this could be common with a jacket that has some much exposure for loose threads. But for the money, I would like to see something more durable for very causal use over a few weeks.
I have used this jacket for the last couple of months and am about to return the product. First of all, it is not very warm and secondly the front end of the collar is higher than the rest of the collar and is constantly chafing my jaw/ cheeks/ ears depending on standing/ sitting position. Highly irritating.
I’ve got both a pull over and jacket in the nanopuff line. The good about them is they pack very small and the weight to warmth ratio is very good.

I expected better quality: jacket has loose threads all over
I love the cut, the warmth, the material, the recycled-ness… but the workmanship on this jacket is the worst of any piece of gear I’ve used. I’ve had it for 6 months and maybe worn for 1, and it’s got pulled threads all over. One of the baffle threads on the jacket front pulled loose the very first week, and the recommendation from Patagonia custom...

I am shocked that this fabled piece of gear that so many have used and loved came to me so poorly manufactured. I hope it was merely a miscalibrated sewing machine and that others have a better experience.
This jacket is perfect for all temperatures. I have gone snowboarding in this jacket and used it under my shell. It kept me warm in -10 degree weather. This jacket has also kept me comfortable all the way up to the mid 60’s. Anything 70’s and above this jacket will be too warm for you.
Absolutely the best I have replaced every single jacket with just three of these a black a regular color like a grayish and of course you need a vest that’s all you ever need in your wardrobe.

I am not an active outdoorsy person any more, and I guess the nano-puff is aimed at that kind of user. Picking-up on what an earlier reviewer says, I also feel that durability has been sacrificed at the altar of lightness. I cannot fault Patagonia for their service: they've been brilliant, for me, over the almost 40 years I've been wearing their stuff. I had an L in both garments and this suits me well, because I'm only 72 kilos (159 lbs), but 6'2".
Living in Arizona this jacket is perfect for everything, fits great, extremely durrable, looks great, and the primaloft has the perfect balance of warmth and wind blocker for all my adventures in the city or the mountains. Im 6'2 and wear a large as i have a 6'4 wing span and prefer the longer sleeves and shoulder movement.
The insulation comes out of the seems pretty easily and the cuffs get worn pretty easily. On the positive side, it fits great and it really warm. You may just want to use a lint roller to collect the insulation that comes out.

Read Morearms unless it was pretty cold. I got lots of compliments on it,classic piece with neutral styling that could be worn in the woods or on a chilly Sunday morning to church. With the fit it gave the appearance that I had a larger upper body,good for me,a thin runner. I think if I was an inch or two taller and 5 or 10 pounds heavier I would need a medium,but I could have probably been fine with a medium,I am kind of in the middle. It was too small to layer underneath,I could fit a flannel and that's all,but it was great for skiing,layer a shell over it. The temperature range was about 40 to 60 in the Bay Area with a t shirt underneath,but when I came to Utah for college it was good maybe another 5 degrees below that,I suspect because of the humidity difference. So it isn't as warm as a down piece,I'd say my ghost whisperer is a bit warmer,I'd even say my nano air is warmer,although that one is newer. My main gripe with it was durability,the brick quilting looks great and holds the insulation firmly in place,but there is a lot of stitching that can come undone. I noticed loose threads around the elbows and cuffs,high wear areas. The actual material was pretty good for the weight,only had one or two tiny holes where I had been a little careless. To be honest,I kinda beat the heck out of this jacket,I am pretty clumsy walking around and I'd bump into concrete and bushes occasionally,I've rock climbed in it,I've even done car and bike maintenance in it. The only things I would fix are the cuffs and forearms being pretty loose and the stitching being not very durable,however this is not meant to be an urban everyday jacket,it's intent was probably more technical and less destructive activities. I actually recently returned it because there were better options for what I was using it for,which was everything; I now have the fjord insulated flannel jacket for around town and an R1 for technical endeavors,I see the value in diversifying now. If you can't afford two jackets then get yourself this jacket if you're looking for a do it all,just treat it nicer than I did. The only competitors in this category I can think of would be the nano air,Arc'teryx atom LT,and TNF thermoball,all worth a look.

Less serious - the design decision not to have snaps. It would be comfortable at a much wider temperature range if you the wearer could choose between zipping and just doing a snap or two. But it's superlight so I get the decision that was made.
I just received my Nano Puff. I ordered it to have a jacket similar to the down sweater (which I love) but useful for more active things like hiking and bicycle commuting. I like it BUT it fits so snug that I'm probably going to have to send it back. It's advertised as "regular fit" but it's definitely a slim fit. I am 5&#x... Read More27;7'' and weigh 150 lbs,am athletic but pretty slim in the upper body (I am a cyclist). I wear size small in all the other Patagonia garments I have. The Nano puff is plenty long in the sleeves and is even a little too long in the body,but it fits really snug in the torso. I could not put it on over a sweater. I was able to put it over an R1 but it was stuffed. Other reviewers have commented that this jacket has gotten slimmer. I recommend this jacket for only really thin people. Please,Patagonia,add just a little more breathing room!
I brought my 2013 purched at the Soho store into the Pasadena store for a repair. The filling was compressed,I had a few small holes in front,the stitching was coming out. And the associate san me through the repair process but then decided the jacket hadn't lived up to it's expectations. So he offered to replace it with brand new Black s...

It's slim cut and doesn't bunch out in front and the insulation is way warmer,But wait,the waist is snug. I'm 6' 197 and have broad shoulders. But it's so warm. My wife tells me it looks better on me than my old one,but I secretly want my old mushy torn soft Nano back. Still this one is awesome! I've been a customer since 1985 when I got my first snap t red synchilla and I will still be buying these products forever. Thank you
Bought this during the yearly sales push and just began wearing it today (weather finally dropped into the low 50s). Overall impressions are very positive. It is pretty cold and windy here and this jacket blocks the wind effectively and keeps the body warm. Zippers all work well and the pockets are deep enough to carry items comfortably. The collar... Read More,when zipped all the way up,is warm but does not "hug" the neck tightly.
My one caveat: the jacket is cut very slim (it is true to size; just understand that the size is cut for very skinny people and children). This undoubtedly is good for layering but causes it to "ride up" a bit whenever one sits down. A small quibble but one that comes into play pretty often.
Overall: a great little jacket for moderate (40-50ish) weather,either as a layer or on its own. Also good for travel as it is very,very light and packable. I actually have two; since they were on sale,I grabbed a second one and threw it in the back of the car as an emergency jacket. Fits the bill.
I like my Nano puff,although I haven't had the opportunity to wear it much. I was fortunate to purchase it at 40% off,probably wouldn't buy it all full price when you could get an Icebreaker Merino equivalent for pretty much the same price.
What I do like: compact packability ' it's a no brainer to pack this extra for warmth gi... Read Moreven it's size and weight
What I don't like: construction seems flimsy,down is coming out,stitching appears too delicate,it started piling almost immediatly. Like all my other Patagonia clothing,I don't feel confident that it will stand up to extended rough and ready wear/use like backpacking or even day hiking.
My first Nano Puff,but hopefully not my last. I really like the lightweight warmth and fit of this jacket,but after wearing it for about two hours the stitching started to unravel at 5'6 points along the length of the waist hem.

But if it happens again I'll probably be looking for a different jacket.
Hopefully just a one-time fix,but the Nano Puff has a lot of stitching to potentially unravel...
Bought this for my son and he loves that it can be shoved in his backpack when he gets to school and he doesn't notice the weight. Kept him warm this weekend at 29f while at camp
I bought this for my husband before heading to the Netherlands and it was a perfect choice as we have encountered torrential rains and wind and he has been dry,warm and comfirtable!
Bought this in men's xs for my daughter. It's very cute love the color and lightweight of the jacket. Wish they had the old one with the red zippers
I bought this jacket for my son who works for the National Park Service doing backcountry trail work. I hiked in to visit him and he was totally thrilled with his birthday present! It was starting to get cold and he really needed the extra layer of warmth!
I got this one on sale and the xl was gigantic. I brouht it into the store and they
were so nic to trade it for a different one,no charge. That's is why I always try to buy from Patagonia when I can - incredible customer service!
Just bought my second Nano Puff (for a bit of colour variety). Best jacket I've ever owned. Lightweight and warm on its own,and an excellent insulation layer under a goretex shell for winter. I wear it all the time,for all activities.
I got the Mojave Khaki color. It's less Khaki,and more like C3PO,in a good way. Really digging the color.
I'm coming to terms that I'm a Medium in Patagonia,despite being a Large in almost everything else. 5'10",170 lbs (closer to 175 after lunch). That being said,the Medium fits great across my chest and on my shoulders,b... Read Moreut is a little snug around the waist when zipped and could feel maybe 1 inch too short in length.
Meanwhile,1 size up in a Large,I'm literally swimming in there. So I got the Medium,and loving it. The jacket is really warm and light as a t-shirt. Try on a couple sizes to make sure you get the fit you're looking for.
This jacket is super warm and awesome,the color nouveau green looks grey in the photo but it is very unique in person (a mix of green,grey,and blue) and fits my style perfectly.
I got this jacket mainly for travel. It is warm,lightweight and packagable down to the size of a pouch that fits inside my hand carries Or laptop backpack bag within making it crowded or bulky.
I bought this as a midlayer for skiing as well as general wear. The only thing I am left wanting is for some stretch in the pit area,hybriding the sides would result in a bomb of a jacket,in my humble opinion. The other reason I gave 4 stars is that the fit was just a teensy bit snug,compared to the other Patagucci stuff I've purchased.
The ... Read Moreabove said,this thing kept me so toasty warm on the coldest days on the slopes it was unreal. I ski in the Maritimes where minus 20 Celsius with a wind is not uncommon. I spent a week at Killington with some deadly crosswinds at elevation. Then there is Mont-Sainte-Anne where -35 is not uncommon - this baby under a layer of Gore-Tex with an underlayer was great. In fact,I stopped skiing with it at -10 or above because once I got moving it was just too much,even with the prospect of a chair ride.
This thing fast became my everyday jacket for stuff around home,and it's killer for winter activities. It's typical of Patagonia workmanship and care of product release. Aside from my shell and a pair of powder pants,I buy all black for outerwear; which should sound like I am not trying to be fashionable. But if that's your bag I can tell you I've gotten more compliments on this thing than any other garment I own.
Happy trails.
bought this jacket on sale. Definitely my go to jacket in spring and late fall. Insulation is amazing and the weightless feel is awesome. More importantly,it breathes well esp in a poorly-ventilated and over-heated subway. Great product!
I had my Nano Puff for a few happy months of late spring cool camping and river trips. Sadly it was in a bag that fell off a trailer of boring gear a couple weeks ago. Looks like I need to buy another one now :-/
Perfect multi-weather insulating jacket out there. Seems to have unique ability to sense what temperature it is and adapt. If it gets too warm you can stuff it in your pocket. If it gets windy and cold,does its job. Good to about freezing on its own. Great under waders,pretty much standard apparel for Alaska guides for good reason. Only drawback is... Read More not good in heavy brush due to exposed stitching,but put shell over it and fine.
I bought this for my son who is going to spend the summer in the Boundary Waters in Ontario Canada. His first week there it snowed,and he told me that he used this jacket layered with a fleece underneath and his rain jacket on top and he stayed toasty warm. I love that this is a synthetic fiber since he will be canoeing all summer and that material... Read More is much better than down when you are around water. I am happy that he is happy with the purchase. My son is an athletic build,5'11,135 lbs. He is normally a size small but I got him the size medium because he wanted to have room to layer underneath. Even if he had gotten the size small the jacket would be a little roomy around the torso area,so this is definitely a "regular fit" but it perfect for my son's purposes.
This is a birthday present from my wife. Big points for her. I can't believe how warm this lightweight jacket is. Not sure how they do it but I never seem to get too warm in it. Every other lightweight jacket or hoodie I have makes me sweat at some point. Also the wind resistance or wind proofing is incredible. I tried it out on my motorcycle ... Read Moreand it does a phenomenal job of blocking the wind. Only slight disappointment is how the rain quickly saturates the outer shell. Not a big deal to me. I didn't buy it as a rain coat but they kinda advertise it as rain resistant. I already snagged a thread loop. Luckily it didn't break. I just followed their instructions to pull it back into place. Funny my Mom taught me that trick when I was like 7. My zipper catches the inner liner on the way down. I just hold it away from my body as I pull it down. I know if I wanted to send it back they would send me a new one but I don't want to be without it until we're done traveling.
Great piece but it was too tight under my arms so I returned it. So sorry I had to do so. I would have exchanged for xl but the L sleeves were pretty long do I figured the xl would be too long.
In total between my husband and myself,we own 5 nano puff jackets. I can't say enough positive things about this product. It is lightweight,which is perfect for traveling. It washes very well and air dries in a flash. It is surprisingly warm,given how lightweight it is. The style is also flattering for both men and women.
First off,I own 5 Nano puffs. Second,I will note that they are all the models from last year prior to the "overhaul." I am so in love with these jackets but not anymore. I ripped my black one that I use for work and Patagonia sent me a replacement. The nano puffs now are so incredibly tight. They hike up in the arm pits and all around the... Read More chest. There is no room to breathe. Move up a size and you'll be swimming because the arms are already too long in the first place. Luckily Patagonia found an outlet that still had an old model in stock for me to purchase.
Patagonia I love you but WHY!?!? Why are you trying to be "trendy" by going "skinny???"
Skinny for men isn't trendy and you guys are ruining the number one appeal of these jackets: that they have full mobility. I now feel restricted with the newer models.
Please Patagonia,don't ruin a good thing.
I hope that Patagonia designers read this and consider my opinion as an avid fan and owner of multiple nano puffs.
Thank you for not ruining the ultra light model as well by "updating" it.
If it ain't broke,don't fix it.
This is one of my go-to jackets! It's very lightweight and packs down into a pretty small square. It's very easy to shove in my pack when I'm not sure if I will need another layer or not for the day. I can even clip it to the outside of my pack if I don't room inside. I would say though that the jacket is a little tight around t... Read Morehe waist. It's definitely snug around my waist,more than I would like... And it honestly makes the jacket fold up on itself on my lower back. Other than that,it's a great jacket and I high recommend it!
I am 5'4" and athletically built.
The biggest reason I purchased the nano,compactablility,wether I'm backpacking,skiing,or on the motorcycle I know i will have room. The nano as well as all the jackets I have from Patagonia fit to size. The nano is also light so it can be used as a layer or alone.
Remarkable combination of warmth and light weight. Very happy with the jacket and glad that I consulted with one of the advisors regarding the intended use of this jacket. I would have made the wrong choice had I not called.
A great substitute for a the Down Sweater when temperatures are in the 40's & 50's The fit is slightly slimmer & form fitting that the older Nano Puff jackets. I do wish Patagonia would go back to the older more roomy cut.
Bought 2 months ago e used 4/5 times. Perfect in Italy for mid-season. Good cover and internal lining. The zipper finally works perfectly ( i'm a Patagonia aficionado From more than 25 Years, and in the recent past i found myself in trouble with the zipper of a couple of jackets ). The problem with the sewings is emerged ( or i noticed) after ... Read Moreonly 3/4 times i weared the jckt. The string of the sewings ( ad you can notice in the picture) seems not to be sewed properly... Not as you could expected From patagonia standards ( 2 differenti points :in the neck and on one shoulder .
Purchased this for the warmer days of skiing,I was surprised of the warmth this garment produces. No need to layer up much,this jacket looks great and produces. Best of all it doesn't wrinkle after being stuffed in a day pack or a carry-on back pack
Bought this jacket over winter and have only worn it about 5 times and theres already has two huge holes in the back.. Two of my family members also bought them and they both have holes.. Patagonia is getting bigger and bigger and their clothes are getting worse and worse.
I own two of these jackets (both size med) and the one I bought a few years ago definitely has a looser fit in the torso area. The new one has been tapered a bit - shoulders and waist fit great but it is a little snug across the middle of the jacket. I prefer the old fit better but still a great jacket.
Wear this in any environment. Wore this as a winter coat in Minnesota with a nice base and kept me warm.
Some fraying on the stitching but what can you expect when you wear it to bed
I finally decided to get a Nano Puff when I saw the "Sporty Orange." I've usually worn my Ultralight Down jacket,but the color was irresistible. I'm so glad I got it. While I still pack the ultralight down for excursions,the Nano Puff has become my daily jacket for everything else. I liked it so much that I bought a second on in... Read More Carbon. They fit my small frame perfectly in an XS and they pack some amazing warmth and wind resistance in a light and thin profile. It's no wonder that this is a mainstay for Patagonia. While it would hold its own as a versatile piece of gear,it should also be as classic and as ubiquitous in a person's wardrobe as a pair of well-worn jeans.
Bought this at my local out-door gear store. The Jacket looks great and is very comfortable. The only thing is for the price I wish it was a bit warmer. I realize this jacket is'nt suppose to be as warm as some of the goose down jackets but I guess I didnt realize that when I bought it considering they are very simular price . It gets very col... Read Mored where i live . On its own this jacket is good for anything down to 32 degrees . Anything below that you made need a layer or a different jacket as this jacket is a synthetic down from what I gather. In any case the jacket looks good and functions quite well . Only other small detail I would recommend to Patagonia is it is just a tiny bit long . I feel like they should be an inch shorter. At least with mine the size large . I am 5'10 ,190 pounds. Pretty average.Luckily they have a draw string at the bottom but on this jacket it comes loose easily . So i would recommend making them just a little shorter but not too much. Over all pretty nice jacket . Would recommend for temps between 30 and 55 degrees give or take a few.
I now own two of these wonderful jackets,because I wanted one to wear around town and one to pack for hiking trips. I may even add another in the future!
First thing's first: this jacket is VERY light and VERY packable. It compressed down to almost nothing in my backpack. For the weight,though,it is quite warm: in my opinion,it can be worn co... Read Moremfortably down into the 30s. I have worn it underneath a Patagonia shell when skiing,and wind chills dropped into the low teens... I was very comfortable. Plus,when I hike/ski,I tend to generate heat quickly,so I appreciate the lightness and breathability that this jacket offers.
I am 6'0" and 175 lbs,and the Medium fits very well. This jacket is not too long and not too short,and has a slightly boxy fit,but that leaves more room for layers underneath.
This product embodies why I buy Patagonia products. It's warm,travels well,and looks great! I throw this on over a t-shirt and it's good down to 40 degrees. It packs down fairly easily and I can throw it in my bag if it's too warm. The fit is true to size and it looks like a refined down jacket - just the right amount of puff.
The d... Read Moreurability and breath ability are my only complains. After 3 months of lots of wear,some of the "grid" stitching has come loose at the sleeve,some basic sewing skills can put it back in shape,though. The jacket itself isn't the most breathable jacket,so I don't think I'd recommend this for extreme aerobic exercise.
I'm glad to say that Patagonia did not disappoint. This seems like an expensive jacket but it's well worth the price in my eyes!
Ok it's 45 out and just got this n the mail opened it put it on and instant warmth. Love the black being in gonna wear it with everything. I love the fact I can also wear it under my down sweater if it gets to chilly
I also own the hooded version and love these jackets but both front zippers are always catching wheather it's zipping it down or up.

Need to come up with a different zipper... Read More.
I bought the Nano Puff late last winter and now less than a year later the threads are coming free and falling out of the outside of the jacket. I have maybe worn this jacket for 3 months or so total. I have another warmer/bigger coat from Patagonia that I love and I like this coat also but the quality of mine is horrible for the minimal amount of ... Read Morewear I have put on it. I will be looking for a different brand next for this weight/type of jacket next. Considering the cost of this jacket I would expect a lot better quality.

I pair my Nano Puff with a R1 pullover and find this combination perfect for most winter days in Bend,Oregon. I am 5' 7",150#,and fit a medium with a relaxed fit.
I have had my nano puff jacket for over 3 years and it is perfect for the weather in the PNW. It is great for layering,looks good and when folded up in the inside pocket has been my camping pillow on several occasions.

The only drawbacks is that water will go right through it in moderate rain or heavy rain,soaking under layers if you are caught in an unexpected storm for longer than 20 minutes. It will continue to be warm,but you will be wet.
Wore this jacket everyday for 3 months straight on a NOLS course. When layered correctly with a capilene base layer and an R4 fleece it is quite warm. Nice and lightweight for backpacking. Have worn for anything from walking to get coffee on a cold morning to windy days on the Deschutes chasing native red sides and have always been satisfied. Again... Read More it is not something that you can wear as just a jacket by itself but when used correctly it is one of my favorite pieces of gear.
I really wanted the Nano Puff Jacket,but wasn't sure of the size. I used the online chat to ask a customer service representative and she came to the conclusion that I'd need a medium (she even sent me the measurements of the garment,which was nice).
For me,it seemed that I would be in between size M and L,so I decided to go to a retailer... Read More locally to try on both the medium and large.
I'm 6'1" and weigh 175lbs. I have a 45" chest,34" arms and a 32" waist. I am very athletic and lean.
I tried on both the medium and large. The medium was like it was tailor fitted to me. My shoulders had enough room,the chest wasn't tight and when I reached out with my arms,they didn't ride up or pull on my back. The waist was perfectly fitted around my hips with very little space. This is exactly what I was looking for.
I tried on the large as well to compare. There was a little more space in the shoulders and chest,but it wasn't too big and very fit very nicely. The arms weren't too long either,they were actually very close to the medium. The waist area is where there was more room. Around my trunk and my waist is where the extra material was apparent. Again,it wasn't too much and I actually considered buying the large for extra space if I wanted to wear a thick sweater or sweatshirt under it,but I don't usually do that anyway as I run pretty hot usually. I'd say if you have a bit of girth in the middle or have a 34 - 36" waist - get the large. It'll still fit very nicely and give you a little extra space.
In the end,I ordered a yellow Nano Puff in medium directly from Patagonia since the store I tried them on only carried dark colors. I can't wait to try this out in the fall/winter this year.
Hope this review helps. I know it's always difficult to figure out what size to get without trying it on. I'll follow-up with a performance review later in the year.
I had an older version for 3-4 years. It was perfect. I'm 5'9",185 pounds. Athletic build but putting on the pounds in my mid 40s.
