Nano Puff

The Nano Puff, in a very short time, has taken on a life of it's own. It has quickly become my one go-to piece for almost any activity and it is always in the pack. Look for more great things to come out of this technology in the near future! Details:

Already a cult classic with our ambassadors and testers, the new Nano Puff™ Pullover got top marks for versatility, surprising warmth and terrific all-around performance in a superlight no-frills package. It's weather-resistant enough to wear as an insulated shell in a wet snowstorm, trim enough to pull on for chilly rock pitches (and still see your footholds), and warm enough for light belay parka duty on quick alpine dashes. The wind-blocking, moisture-shedding DWR (durable water repellent) finished 100% all-recycled polyester shell (1-oz 15-denier) also glides effortlessly, whether worn as a mid- or outer-layer. Low-bulk, hydrophobic, highly compressible PrimaLoft® One (60 g) traps heat with remarkable efficiency, even when wet. The deep front zipper allows for easy ventilation. The Nano Puff Pullover also packs down to practically nothing and stuffs into a single chest pocket that has a carabiner clip-in loop. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

Technology

At Patagonia we seek to build the best product and cause no unnecessary harm. That's our mission statement, and it takes many forms. As it applies to making products, we work hard to source materials and use processes that are less harmful to the Earth without compromising quality. Because to us, quality is not only how well a product performs and holds up, but also how it's made.
