This is the do anything, go anywhere jacket. The Patagonia Nano Puff Pullover is one of the most versatile pieces I have in my quiver of apparel. I have used this jacket in everything from snowshoeing to trail running to the monotonous task of shoveling snow from my driveway. It has also found its way into my carry-on arsenal. It is surprisingly warm and super lightweight. It stuffs into the left chest pocket though I have never used that feature. I always find myself just stuffing it into one of the bottle sleeves in my hydration or carry-on pack. I have also wadded it up to create a make shift pillow while flying to my next destination.

The 100% all recycled polyester shell has a wind blocking and moisture shedding DWR (durable water repellent) finish. It is insulated with 60g of Primaloft One which as we mentioned above makes the jacket highly compressible. The jacket is also recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

Some of the other features include:
• Deep center-front zipper allows for easy ventilation
• Elasticized cuff and hem seal out wind and trap warmth

The only feature that I have found that would better suit me in this jacket would be to have a full-zip front which they tell me will be available in late summer/fall 2010.

MSRP: $150
