Product information

The Mens Nano-Air Hoody from Patagonia is a warm, stretchy, breathable layer you can put on and leave on through high-output, stop-and-go activities in cold weather. Even better, it's upped the recycled material content throughout the Nano-Air, from the lightweight, weather-shedding shell, to the comfortable plain-weave liner, to Patagonia's warm-when-wet FullRange insulation — all with zero sacrifice in performance. It's a new standard for technical insulation, merging the comfort and breathability of open fleece with the protection and warmth of a puffy while using recycled inputs to the greatest possible degree.

The trim, stretchy hood is designed for next-to-noggin use, though it'll still fit snugly over low-profile helmets. Two handwarmer pockets and a chest pocket all close with trim, low-bulk zippers. The center-front zipper has a zipper garage for comfort on your chin. The variable conditions cuffs have sleek, stretch-knit insets that allow you to push on a lightweight shell and feel the thermal properties of the Nano-Air skyrocket.

I love your video breakdowns, so very much appreciated. Would be great if host heights could be consistently shared for size reference. Keep it up!

Do you feel too tight if you go a size down?

Very nice review, thanks! If i wear this as an outer layer, can i use a backpack with around 5 -10 kg, or will that damage the fabric?
