If we have any hope of a thriving planet—much less a business—it is going to take all of us doing what we can with the resources we have. This is what we can do.
I just love this vest. I could have went with a small also, but wasn't sure what I wanted to wear with it so opted for the medium and it is a little roomy.
I love and own so much Patagonia gear, but the sizing frustrates me. I wear a medium in all other clothing brands but have to buy an extra large in Patagonia because they run so small.
Nice sleek vest, could use some small improvements
This is sleek and nice looking. I appreciate the easy maintenance synthetic. It does run small. I'm a large in Patagonia fleece and could barely zip up the large in this - size up! My main quibble (a minor one) is that the shoulders are cut too far in. I think it gives the shoulder a weirdly puffy look. If the shoulders could come out about 1&...

Very comfortable keeps me warm enough if Im wearing a long sleeved top
when buying Patagonia tops and jackets, fleeces etc I alway have to buy large. In all other brands I wear a small top and a medium jacket. The large in Patagonia wear is just a little to big but a medium just doesnt feel comfortable.
We appreciate your feedback, Patti! The Nano Puff Vest is a regular fit style, while other may be slim or relaxed which could affect which size feels best, depending on layers.
BUT, the large was too small. I must be between L and XL because I have other Patagonia jackets/vests in Large that fit perfectly. The vest is warm but not bulky - very comfortable!

The Nanopuff without sleeves
I always have to size up in women's tops at Patagonia and I am a very average-sized 5'7" female. But their tops run small. I loved my nano puff jacket and thought I would go for the vest as a way to layer on cold ski days. It is great for that! It is so warm and also an easy way for me to look professional at work.
This was a fab vest, but had to return as it is not made for a curvy figure. Too bad. I found another thats Polar fleece thats better, but they definitely cater to taller torsos and narrower hips.

Light weight and warm
I bought this to wear at home and for outside. When it's very cold out the vest is perfect around the house because it's lighter than a sweater or sweatshirt but keeps the chill away.

I have several jackets, vests and sweaters from Patagonia. This vest, however is cut unlike any other I own. It was too tight on the bottom, causing it to ride up and bunch at the chest/armpits, and the top half was cut too large/loose thus allowing the increased bunching.

Warmth with Arm Freedom
Great vest! Warm, but my arms are free. Fashionable and functional. Excellent choice!
This lightweight vest is perfect for when it is a bit too warm for my Nano Puff but too cool for no jacket at all. Zip pockets are conveniently located and deep enough to be useful. I love the blue color, too. 5 stars all the way.
Love the vest. I bought it as a gift for a friend who would normally wear a large and while it fit, it didn't allow room for a long sleeve shirt or sweater underneath. Returned the large and got x-large. Very happy with purchase.
Had to return...too tight and no give in the belly.
I ordered the XL and XXL vests, and had to return both. Love Patagonia and everything they stand for, but wish some of the sizing had more "give" the XL was simply too tight on my Winnie-the-Poo shaped torso and then the XL was way too large. If the XL (which I have in other vests) just was a hair larger or there was a bit of stretch buil... Read Moret in to the sides, it would have been perfect. Having that 1-2" variability would likely help a lot of other people too. As it is, this cut is very straight and not great for stockier builds.
I tragically lost my trusted nanopuff vest and ordered this one as a replacement. I was sorely disappointed in it. I ordered a size larger than usual as my small nano puff jackets have been feeling a little snug around my hips. With this vest being a little longer, I thought I should have allow myself a little extra room. For the record, I'm 5... Read More'6 and athletic. I wear a 27 or 28 inch waist pants and am generally a size 6 is most clothing brands.
The fit was awful! The hips were still a little snug, and the chest was HUGE. Why would you do this Patagonia? Why are active women not even allowed to have a little bit of hips? And, why would my chest be two or three times the size of a small?
Returning and looking elsewhere for a replacement vest (while still remaining hopeful my old one miraculously appears).

Perfect fit over my hips.
Perfect fit over my hips. Love the color. Goes well with my puffer jacket of the same color when days are much cooler.?
I like this and have one in a different color. It dresses up my very casual pants and top.
I expected both to be a bit thicker, but since I now live in SoCal, they work well!
I Live in the PNW and work mostly in an office, but I have meetings that have me going from office to car to another office at least a couple times a day. This vest is perfect because I can leave it on all day and be comfortable.
This vest was actually a Christmas gift for my wife. It looks very nice. But we felt there is one significant problem. There is VERY LITTLE almost no insulation in the vest.

Hi John, thank you for submitting this review. We're sorry to hear this vest didn't have as much insulation as you were looking for!

I love the color. It keeps my core warm. The style allows me to dress it up for work and also dress it down for casual wear. I love the feel of the material, and it is so lightweight I forget I have it on. With that said, I hope I don't gain any weight as it fits snuggly around the waist, but I still highly recommend this vest.
Love the nano-puff stuff, and own a lot in black. The wavy color is the draw for me in ordering another! My new favorite color in an old favorite design. Bought the sweatshirt in wavy to match!
The vest is very nice. Its fit is a bit tight on me. I own several items by Patagonia, jackets, vests and all of them are size M and all are more roomy.
We are loyal Patagonia shoppers and have been for probably 30 years. We love the products but we find that your colors- and this is happening more often- are such dirty looking colors.

The Vest given for my mother due to cold weather and she was very comfortable wearing it
I am petite and curvy. I purchased a size small. The length is fine but ches fits snugg but not too snugg. I am going to keep it. I especially like that I stay warm and dont feel like a puffed-up marshmallow.
Worst purchase ever. Warm is the first word in the item description. Its not! I dont think there is any filling. Its like two ply polyester. That is it! Can only wear it under something which makes it not worth the money!
Hey Denise, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that this vest is not cutting it for your needs. The Nano Puff Vest does have 60-g of PrimaLoft Gold Insulation Eco 100% postconsumer recycled polyester with P.U.R.E. We recommend always checking out the "Specs & Features" tab on the product page to give you an idea of what to expect with a product. It sounds like you might be living and playing in cold conditions, where the Nano Puff would not suffice. We're happy to have a conversation to figure out how you were planning on using the vest to help you find a better fit for your needs. Perhaps the [Women's Bivy Hooded Vest](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-bivy-hooded-vest/27747.html?dwvar_27747_color=NESB&cgid=root) would be a better match.

Great vest!
Lightweight, warm, easy care, great style and fit: another excellent Patagonia product. Got the Wavy Blue, love the color - much better in person than it looks online.
I usually wear a Patagonia medium, but this medium felt a little too small on my shoulders and hips - better for someone with a narrower frame. The next size up was way too large. I sadly ended up returning it.
vest is soft and warm and easily layers under or over other layers. zip pockets are roomy. folds down small for packing. I had to size up because I have a deformed back. 5'1" 105 pounds would normally wear a small or small.
I love the colors (I purchased the beautiful wavy blue) and the overall feel of this vest--warm, but light. It fits me great in the shoulders, chest & waist, but I need another inch or two to make this comfortable around the hips. Wish I were a guy, or a woman with no hips--then I could wear this otherwise very cute vest. Sending it back.
I was hoping to replace my old puffy down vest, so was surprised by how thin this is. I don't usually buy XS, but did after following the sizing guide. It was too small in the hips, where I am usually too small, put perfect in the shoulders where I am usually too large. I had to return it, though it looks very beautiful.
Love this product and all the nano filled vests and puff jackets. I have 5 different colors. Love that they pack into a pocket. Fit is small, especially at the hips.
Thank you for submitting this review, Barbara; we appreciate this feedback! We're sorry this vest didn't fit comfortably. We're working on expanding our size offerings, and we will share this feedback with our product designers. We're glad to see you've returned something that wasn't going to make you happy, and we hope we can do better by you in the future!

Comfortable
This vest is great if you need a little extra warmth. My son bought me one last year and I wear it so much I decided to get another color. I wear it playing beach volleyball in the winter and/or out and about.
I love, love, love this vest! I actually own 4 of them in different beautiful colors. It's super versatile. If I want to take it off while skiing or hiking it will stuff in a pocket. It is also attractive to wear. I must admit I'm a vest junkie!
Hi Samantha! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're sorry to hear about the disappointment with the amount of warmth the vest provides.

Great, classic Patagonia style
I've had one of these for a decade. Tried lots of others in an attempt to add to my wardrobe. Nothing was right, so I went back to the ideal vest and was thrilled to see it was still in the product line up! So many vests are the puffy style right now; not this one and I know it will last and look good for a long time.
This vest fits perfectly. It keeps me warm. I appreciate the woman's body fit. I love the color. It is perfect for my needs. It is sculpted enough to wear under a warmer jacket, yet it keeps my core toasty warm without. I like the trim at the shoulders helps keep breezes winds out.
This vest is light and so comfortable. I live in Michigan and basically wear it every day from November to March, both indoors and outdoors! If I'm going outside I just throw a coat over it!
I bought this to replace a cheap vest from a different brand. I like this one better than my old one because the Nano Puffness is not too puffy and it doesn't feel bulky. Good worn over a flannel. It's a little loose in the chest for me, but that means I can probably wear it over something thicker.
The fit is a bit snug and long - A two-way zipper would help at the hips vs an interior chest pocket I will never use. The fit from a couple of years ago on jackets/coats/vests worked much better for me.

Hey Susan, thank you for the feedback. We'll share your thoughts on petite sizing with the product team. The Nano Puff Vest definitely works best in moderately cool temperatures. A good general rule of thumb is that down will be warmer than synthetic options, but it will not retain warmth when wet like synthetic insulation can.

I love this vest! A perfect layering piece. Like others have commented, however, if you have a curvy chest or hips, I would definitely size up. I have large hips and chest, and the vest is tight in both areas, but fine in the waist. Other than that, I adore mine!
This is a great vest however it needs to be made with a two way zipper. I had to get a large to accommodate my hips but the the bust and shoulders are a little to large.
I have owned a nanopuff jacket for several years and it's my favorite coat for winter. With cooler temps approaching I was in the market for a new vest, and ordered this during the recent sale.

Wore this climbing early in the morning and then out to dinner. Comfortable, warm, and packs down well. As always Patagonia durable so it will last forever.
This is a great vest. Fits so well and good quality. I have it in other colors and the pink simply wasn't a good color on me. Waiting for more colors to come out. I love Patagonia products!
Looking forwards to experimenting with this vest layer when cooler temperatures arrive. Fits like a glove. Hope it will travel lighter than a jacket w sleeves.

Hi Lynne! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear about the disappointment with the vest.

A favorite
Im usually a small but this vest in S was slightly short so I waited a year til the size medium was available. Its nicer than other brands of white vests, more comfortable, more versatile. Hope the nano puff stays in production!
The nano puff technology is like no other on the market - so a vest in this material is likewise, like no other. Vest has a nice feminine-cut fit and it is very easy to layer with. It's thinness belies its warmth and it breathes very well. I'd have one in every color if I could!
I love this nano.. I bought my first one around 8 years ago and it is beginning to look a bit old. So I decided to give myself a new one and keep the old one for the garden. The Nano is so much warmer than you would expect, but it is so light weight that you would not believe it could be so warm. Patagonia rocksQ!
I use this daily as an alternative to a sweater or jacket. I actually made the purchase because I have the nano puff longer coat an I use the vest under the coat for extra cold Virginia winter days.
Its my favorite!
I have this vest in black and love it but bought the white & returned it. Unfortunately, can see filling through white fabric. Maybe better in off-white something similar?
Amazing vest, but the current colors choices are boring!
I love my nano puff vest so much, and unfortunately I am in the market for a new one.

This is a great vest. I have the jacket in XL and it is a little tight for layering, so I tried

I was so happy to buy this vest- I know its quality and needed a white vest. Sadly this is Birch White which apparently is a yellowish white.

Nice, but
I have the sweater fleece vest in L. This was too small. Returned.
I have this in black and white. The black Ive had for 6 years and wear it pretty much daily in the winter months. The white one gets less wear mostly due to not wanting to stain it.

I am 52, 120# and pear-shaped. I got this vest in a medium because while the small did fit it was a bit snug over my bottom and I wanted it to be loose so I could layer a sweater underneath. I love the navy colorits very versatile. Its a great layering piece and I would definitely buy again.
I love this vest and wear it for casual wear as well as walking. It is light weight and warm. Perfect for TX weather. I am 52 & weigh 110. I bought an XS & it fits perfectly.
This vest serves as the perfect light weight jacket. It is very comfortable and stylish. I have it in several colors. I usually take an XS but had to buy an XXS for it to fit well.
I wear this vest in addition to a thermal top and heavy coat outside in very cold weather. Then I can take off the heavier coat if needed, and still feel very warm and comfortable.
The sizing is off on this vest. Usually wear M\L but because I knew I was going to layer I ordered a L. The waist is fine but the arms are so big and it bunches up on the top chest area. The M would be too snug at the waist and or tight if I zipped up which is why I kept the L.
I purchased with the intent for casual wear, but the extra small ended up being too small. I did go according to the size chart, however, its better to size up as it feels as if it runs a bit small.
This vest is my new normal. I wear it daily indoors and out open or zipped depending on temperature control needed. I love layers, but not on my underarms. Keeps my core comfortable whether on the trail or around town.

I now have three of these vests
This is my third Nano Puff vest; I've had my first two for a few years but my dogs and cats have put some holes in them so I wanted a third intact one for wearing out and about. They're great-warm, lightweight, fit really well and look good. I love that there's such a great down alternative.
I have several of these vests in different colors because I get so much wear out of them. I usually take an XS but the XXS fits me perfect and snug to keep me warm. Very practical item...love them!
I bought this after I had purchased the Nano Puff jacket. Oh my! I love this jacket and now I love the vest. It is light weight and warm but not cumbersome. A must have in a wardrobe.
- super lightweight, minimal bulk, just right for layering! Flattering fit, not too snug or loose, lots of give- in an active job where I spend time in walk in freezers, or outdoors in mid atlantic winters. Added bonus, it's very resistant to tears from my dogs sharp claws when she's over-the-top excited to see me!
I wear this almost every day during the cold weather and because it's thin it makes a great layering piece. The size small fit perfectly except it was tight across the chest so I exchanged for a medium, which is a bit large everywhere else. I wish you could add a little extra room in the chest for those that are not built straight up and down.... Read More :)
