Questions and answers
- Which is warmer, the Ultra-Soft puffer or the Patagonia Tres?
- The Ultra-Soft puffer is the warmer single garment, with heavyweight 90% down fill and a knee-length cut. The Tres relies on its 700-fill liner plus shell, which is warm but built for layering and variable weather.
- Is the Patagonia Tres worth the extra money?
- If you deal with rain, wind and shifting temperatures, yes. The waterproof H2No shell and zip-out liner replace two or three jackets. For dry cold only, the puffer covers it for less.
- Which is better for wet snow or rain?
- The Patagonia Tres. Its H2No Performance Standard shell is waterproof and windproof. The Ultra-Soft puffer's polyester shell is not waterproof.
- Which coat is longer?
- The Ultra-Soft puffer is knee length. The Patagonia Tres is thigh length, so it leaves more of the legs exposed.
- Does either coat have a removable hood?
- Both do. The Ultra-Soft puffer has a detachable hood, and the Tres has a removable, adjustable hood.
- Which has more size options?
- The Patagonia Tres, which runs XXS to XXL. The Ultra-Soft puffer comes in XS to L only.
