Is the Micro Puff Hoody worth it?

Yes for anyone who wants light, packable warmth that works when wet. If you mostly face dry cold, a down jacket gives more warmth per ounce.

How does it compare to the Nano Puff?

The Micro Puff is lighter and more packable, with PlumaFill instead of the Nano Puff's quilted synthetic fill. The Nano Puff is more durable and a bit warmer for everyday wear.

Does it keep you warm when wet?

Yes. PlumaFill is synthetic, so it retains much of its warmth when damp, unlike down. It is not waterproof, so pair it with a shell in steady rain.

It has a slim, athletic cut that layers well over a base layer or light fleece. Size up if you plan to wear a bulky midlayer underneath.

What sizes are available?

Sizes run from XS through XXL, with a chest measurement of 56 inches at the top of the range. Check Patagonia's size chart, since the fit is trim.

Prices tend to drop at end of season and during major sales, when outgoing colors are cleared. The $159 at Distritech as of November 3 is already near the low end of its recent range.

Our take on the Patagonia Men's Micro Puff Hoody

The Patagonia Men's Micro Puff Hoody is a lightweight synthetic-insulated hooded jacket built for cold, wet conditions. Its PlumaFill insulation and Pertex Quantum nylon ripstop shell aim to match down-level warmth while staying warm when damp, and the jacket packs down small. It is hip-length with elasticized cuffs and hem and a harness-compatible fit. The latest best price is $159 at Distritech as of November 3, toward the low end of its recent range.
