There's even an internal pocket for your smartphone, and the hood can be folded into the collar when you don't need it. It has a zip under its monochromatic snap closures, too, and the two do double duty protecting wearers against snow, wind, and rain. It's also made with 65 grams of recycled polyester PlumaFill. One of the company's best-loved down jackets, Patagonia's DAS Light hooded jacket is made with ultralight nylon ripstop and is infused with a durable water-repellent finish to keep rain and snow from sinking in. Sizes: S to XXL | Materials: Netplus (10D 100 percent recycled nylon ripstop from fishing nets), PFC-free DWR finish (fabric), 65 grams PlumaFill (100 percent recycled polyester) | Sustainability: Recycled and repurposed materials, Bluesign-certified materials It's worth mentioning our tester found the sizing to be extremely large and ended up perfectly fitting into a full size smaller than usual. If not layered up, our tester started to get cold in temperatures under 45 degrees, especially if there was wind. For someone who gets cold when not moving, it didn't provide enough warmth for extended time standing around belaying. This is our go-to layering option for chilly climbing days when pack space is at a premium. Hands down, it's the most packable and lightest insulated jacket on the market. We've had a rocky relationship with this jacket. The Micro Puff gets its packability and lightweight stature thanks to synthetic PlumaFill insulation, while the unique offset checkered stitching pattern keeps the PlumaFill from shifting and creating dead loft spaces. The shell is made with Pertex Quantum 100 percent nylon ripstop with a DWR coating that's mildly windproof and water-resistant. This featherweight, lightly insulated jacket packs down to the size of two soda cans and weighs just 9.3 ounces. If you're the type that measures your gear's weight in ounces and size in centimeters, the Patagonia Micro Puff Hooded Jacket is for you. Sizes: S to XXL | Materials: Recycled polyester fleece | Sustainability: Recycled materials, Bluesign-certified materials, Fair Trade Sewn The slim cut is fitted without being restrictive and features good neck coverage. It's ideal for walking the dog, hiking into the crag, as a ski mid-layer, and whenever it's chilly out. It's a perfect medium between warmth and breathability. The R1 Air's thermal regulation range is phenomenal-the best we've ever tested. If you're someone who heats up extremely quickly when moving and gets cold just as quickly once you stop, you know the struggle with jackets either being too hot or too cold. Of every jacket and fleece in our closet, the R1 Air gets used the most. Unlike most Patagonia jackets listed here, the fit is athletic and snug, with long sleeves. The 100 percent recycled polyester jacquard fleece features a distinctive zigzag pattern that gives the R1 Air better breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities than your typical fleece. Designed for high-output activities, it's a bit airier (hence the "air" namesake) than most fleeces, but if you're moving quickly, you'll welcome its superb breathability. It combines the technical chops of our favorite alpine climbing piece, the classic R1, with the coziness of Patagonia's Better Sweater. This one is our favorite of all the Patagonia pieces we've tested. Sizes: S to XXXL | Materials: Recycled polyester (fabric), 60 grams PrimaLoft Gold Insulation Eco post-consumer polyester (insulation) | Sustainability: Recycled materials, Bluesign-certified materials If you're like us, you'll reach for this jacket more than any other one in your closet. For bitter cold days at Mammoth, it was the go-to mid-layer. Our tester was comfortable in it from just below freezing to mildly chilly California evenings. In drizzle and snowfall, it holds up just fine, but beyond that, moisture starts to penetrate, and things can turn nasty. As for water resistance, well, it's resistant, but certainly not waterproof. In High Sierra conditions, the Nano Puff had excellent wind protection in downright cold and nasty alpine winds. The Nano Puff provides adequate warmth well into temps in the 30s, but below that, you may want a few layers or something thicker, like Patagonia's DAS Hoody (see below). The shell is made with a lightweight, DWR-treated, 100 percent recycled polyester ripstop and is said to be windproof and water-resistant. ![]() The medium-weight 60-gram PrimaLoft Gold Insulation is perfect as a standalone jacket in shoulder season or as a mid-layer under a hardshell for days in the snow. ![]() It's almost an all-season coat for the Western US. Simply put, its versatility and usability are second to none. The Nano Puff is Patagonia's number-one-selling jacket, and rightfully so.
