The Nano-Air Hoody was made to be worn for the entirety of your aerobic, start-stop alpine missions, so you’re never slowed down by changing layers. Warm, stretchy and breathable FullRange insulation dumps excess heat when you’re working hard and keeps you warm when you’re not. Now built with significant recycled content in the shell, liner and insulation, the Nano-Air sets another new standard for technical insulation

The Nano-Air® Hoody was made to be worn for the entirety of your aerobic, start-stop mountain activities, so you’re never slowed down by having to change layers. Stretchy and breathable FullRange™ insulation dumps excess heat when you’re working hard and keeps you warm when you’re not. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
Our Verdict
Patagonia's Nano-Air Hoody takes a featherweight fabric and midweight 60g/m2 Insulation Type and makes a jacket that provides an instant big hit of warmth in a superlight and very packable package. As always with Patagonia gear there's a very high quality finish to this garment. You get two hand-warmer pockets and a chest pocket, these make the jacket a bit more useful as a standalone piece but we think it would thrive as a beefy, winter midlayer.
In order to keep the weight down, there's no adjustment to the hem or cuffs, but these both have some elastication.

Features
- The 100% recycled polyester ripstop shell and lining fabric offers mechanical stretch, exceptional breathability and improved abrasion resistance, with a PFC-free DWR finish (durable water repellent coating that does not contain perfluorinated chemicals) to resist light moisture; the microtexture keeps fabric from sticking to the skin for versatile comfort

- Articulated patterning and strategically placed, low-profile quilting combined with stretchy fabric and insulation provide an exceptional range of motion for unhindered movement
- Minimally bound, stretchy hood easily pulls on or off, even when the jacket is zipped; center-front zipper has a zipper garage at the chin for next-to-skin comfort
- Two handwarmer pockets and two chest pockets are zippered, low profile and low bulk to wear comfortably with a harness or a pack; self-stuffs into the left-chest pocket
