RockyLoft Insulated Hooded Down Jacket vs Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket
Buy the RockyLoft for cold, dry conditions and travel: 800-fill down, armpit vents and a stuffable left pocket make it warmer for its weight and easier to pack. Buy the Nano Puff for wet, shoulder-season days and climbing: synthetic PrimaLoft keeps some warmth when damp and the sculpted fit layers cleanly under a harness or shell. Owners praise the RockyLoft's warmth-to-weight and packability but flag a loose or short neck and thin warmth below about 40°F; the Nano Puff is the more weather-tolerant, less lofty jacket.
- Choose the RockyLoft if you want maximum warmth for the weight, a packable down layer for cold dry trips, and armpit vents for hiking.
- Choose the Nano Puff if you need a synthetic layer that handles damp shoulder-season weather and layers under a climbing harness or shell.
