Is the Hi-Loft Nano Puff Hoody worth it over the standard Nano Puff?

Yes if you want a warmer outer layer for cold, wet conditions. The standard Nano Puff is lighter and packs smaller, but the Hi-Loft adds body-mapped insulation and reinforced shoulders.

How warm is it compared with a down jacket?

It is warmer than the standard Nano Puff and keeps insulating when wet, which down does not. For dry, deep cold, a comparable down jacket is lighter for the same warmth.

What sizes does it come in?

It comes in XS through 3XL in a regular fit with a drop-tail hem. The shell is 100% recycled polyester ripstop.

Can I wear it as a mid-layer under a shell?

It can work under a roomy shell, but many owners find it too bulky for that. It is best used as an outer layer or a belay jacket.

Does the hood fit over a helmet?

Yes. The hood is helmet-compatible with minimal binding and adjusts with a single pull.
