Patagonia Nano Air Ultralight Preview - New For 2025

We have been testing out the upcoming (and much anticipated!) Patagonia Nano Air Ultralight Full Zip jacket. This ultralight jacket has 20g of Fullrange active insulation, just enough to take the chill off when doing activities in cool weather.

This will launch in early 2025, along with some other nice offerings from Patagonia. Stay tuned for more coverage and a full review in a few months!

An interesting new piece from Patagonia. As a hiker I prefer 2 separate layers for versatility: an Alpha 60 hoodie plus a breathable, hooded wind shirt. My 2 items together weigh 5.15oz. Being able to separate or combine the two layers gives me comfort when active from just below freezing up to about 40-45F when all I need usually is just a base layer anyway.

This jacket looks really interesting. Love the super light insulation approach. This might be the missing part of my outdoor setup. Used to rock their R1 Techface jacket for those mixed conditions but sometimes I’d like to have some lighter piece with more breathability while hiking. Gotta love Patagonia… great stuff, great company.

Thx for your effort, Sean! Always appreciated! Cheers from Germany! 🖖

I'm still bummed they killed off the Houdini Air 😭

[tanvach]

Yes!! Been waiting for this category of jacket from Patagonia. Going to be amazing for snow shoeing. I have a R1 Techface, but find it a bit heavy.

Looks awesome, especially for rock climbing in the Fall or early Spring. Thanks for the great video, Sean

[AlpineIce]

Love that orange and love the early previews!

[cgarrity]

Looks great as a jacket for golfing in cool weather

[benvanop]

Wow cool. I wonder if they will create a pullover variant too.. it could be the return of the coveted 'Nano-Air Light Hoody' (the lighter pullover version released in 2016 with the high alpine kit).
Cheers Sean!

Great to see the evolvement of the Nano Air lineup. One big piece of that Lineup that is still missing and I am hoping that Patagonia brings it back is the Nano Storm Jacket. In my eyes the Nano Storm Stretch was and still is one of the best jackets that they ever did. Hope that this will come back soon...

[BeauWilliams-Orser]

Pullover! Please Patagonia! So nice under a climbing harness and/or backpack hipbelt, and more sleek for layers. Return of the 2016 nano air light hoody!

[chasekregor]

Man this looks awesome. Take my money 😂

[thescmoney]

Can't wait to buy one of these. Exactly what I'm looking for, just not in orange.

[MattTownsley]

Looks like an exciting jacket! Aside from less insulation, how would you compare this with the nano-air light hybrid jacket?

[mikkoluokkamaki]

Thank you! So is the outer fabric same as in houdini jacket? If so, bad news for me. It doesn’t breath so good🤔

[PaulBeiser]

My man! Wow! Love it, and talk about nailing the fit! I currently use the R1 TechFace Hoody over my baselayer when skinning up - wind resistance, plus some warmth and dumps heat well. When this comes out, I may try this instead - any thoughts? Thanks again, look forward to your full review and hopefully seeing you on Sean’s Run! ⛷️🏂

Dang, that's a well-designed jacket. How does the fabric feel so far? My first generation nano-air and nano-air hybrid has been used so much that it pill and frayed to the point of being unusable. The second generation didn't fit me very well, the hem was too big and either unclosable or weird to close. This one looks a lot better and honestly, 60g was too much for running, cross-country skiing, or hiking in anything but the coldest day. So this jacket would be great for fast or steep days.

I am just praying that the elastic closure actually closes for me.

Also, do you have any words on the DWR? Many of my favorite softshells have been really disappointing in that department recently.

[azvipers]

Arc'teryx atom sl with a chest pocket? I’m a buyer.. So glad it’s a slim fit!

I wonder how it compares to the Patagona Wind Shield Jacket.

[afrobian]

Great review as usual. I have a question. Will this be suitable for jogging? I currently jog with arc tyrex in 5 to 0c weather. While it keeps me warm, I become drenched in sweat. I was looking into the storm chaser until someone posted your video on Reddit. What do you think? Thank you for the video sir

[kevinhatch]

Great review, would you say this breaths better than the nano air light hybrid?
