User Reviews

  • Runs very narrow in the shoulders.
  • Not especially compact even though it packs down into a pocket.
  • Carabiner clip loop has questionable durability.
  • Sleeves run very long.
  • Isn’t especially breathable, so would not be suited for outdoor aerobic activities.
  • Doesn’t provide great stretch or mobility, so not ideal for activities which require a high range of movement, like rock climbing.

Expert Reviews

  • Can let in wind and lower your body temperature.
  • Cuffs have a tendency to pull down when reaching overhead.

Summary:

The Patagonia Nano Puff Pullover Insulated Jacket for women is a lightweight and comfortable jacket that is best suited for walking around town or for layering under a shell in cold temperatures. The limited breathability and mobility make this not ideally suited for intense outdoor activities. However, the impressive synthetic warmth-to-weight ratio and moderate wind-resistance make this a useful product.
