Patagonia Nano Puff Vs Micro Puff Vs Macro Puff Comparison

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Bought me a Nano this afternoon. Within 4 hours I went from homeless to successfully running and owning a fortune 500 company. Changed my life.

[@laurengutierrez5746]

This is the best review/comparison of these jackets I've seen! Keep making more videos, nice job.

[@PackHacker2]

Thank you, Lauren! 😃 -Eric

[@jsilva7005]

I got the macro puff last year. It might be the best jacket I have ever owned. I could wear at 10 Fahrenheit without having to wear other layers and still was warm. But you can also wear it at 45 Fahrenheit without being too hot. Super versatile and awesome looking jacket.

[@robbobstone]

Found a nano at a thrift store for $7. Thank you for the info on it! Didn't know you could pack it up

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

The Nano Puff is my most versatile piece of clothing. I wear it at work, for biking, hiking, climbing, commuting and traveling. I almost always have one in my backpack as a backup. I actually like the fact the it is not that breathable, since it does tend to trap my bodyheat better which keeps me warmer.

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for sharing! 😃 -Eric

[@ObjectiveAnalysis]

Agreed the lack of air permeability will definitely increase the warmth which is what I want. I think a big plus about the nano is the more compact size too, which allows it to be worn under other active insulation layers

[@doesntmatter7389]

Thanks for the fantastic comparison! Now I’m 100% sure I’m getting the Nano. Appreciate you!

[@Patchow]

Why did they discontinue the Macro puff?

[@PaulUrbano]

Thanks for the summary! I've always been confused between all 3. Which one of the 3 do you think is the most similar to the Uniqlo ultra light down jacket? I never could figure out the difference between the 3 Patagonias so I just got the hooded & non-hooded versions from Uniqlo

[@EnhancedNightmare]

Same as in science Macro means big, micro small, nano is smaller than micro.

[@artiecisneros4691]

I have a Nano Puff and a 2011 Micro Puff which is like a longer and thicker version of the Nano and comes with a stuff sack to store it in. I didn't like the new version of the Micro Puff because it has higher pockets.

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for sharing 😃 -Eric

[@RichVonWinkle]

Torn between the nano or micro

[@Chambros703]

I feel like my Tnf Thermoball is all 3 of these in one. Maybe less so the nano but at that point I’d rather wear a hoodie and need only 1 jacket IMO. I do like the Patagonia looks tho, very classic

[@Qaptaininsano]

Totally agree. I have a thermoball for that reason and I got an Arc’teryx atom SL on sale with a gift card and left the SL behind on a trip this last weekend for a light sweater instead.

[@Chambros703]

@@Qaptaininsano nothing replicates a comfy hoody in mild temps hah I will say my Western Rise airloft hooded jacket is the best I’ve ever had. Think the atom on steroids. It’s my only jacket and hoodie combo for one bag travel. It’s my jacket and sweatshirt lol

[@PackHacker2]

It's all about finding the gear that works best for you! Thanks for sharing, Joshua! - Austin

What shirt are you wearing?

[@OneWeekGetAway]

Thanks, would love to see how the Macro compares to the Das Parka (and even to the Arcteryx Nuclei SV).

[@jsilva7005]

So I was stuck between the Macro Puff and the Das Parka, but I finally settled on the Macro. I hate layering so I was looking for something very warm and it does not disappoint. I went for a walk yesterday and it was 1 degree Fahrenheit no wind and I was perfectly fine with only a T-Shirt underneath. It’s also water resistant, the water litterally slides right off. And it’s super light. I would highly recommend to anyone

[@Moondoggy1941]

I am looking for a jacket that my son can wear, he is an Amazon driver and we live in So Cal. so it will rain this winter and it can get a little cold, what would be a good jacket for this type of work? We have already sourced the water proof boots.

[@gladius1275]

Look at the REI Stormhenge, 850 full water proof treated down with a shell that allows it to handle much more rain that the normal down jacket. Well priced, very warm, and surprisingly light. I saw them over Christmas sales at REI going for $160. Good luck.

[@Moondoggy1941]

@@gladius1275 Thanks for the heads up, I will check them out.

[@Errcyco]

I lucked out and got this little generic E.M.S Feather jacket for $90 shipped. 800 fill goose down with the DWR coated feathers. 15D face fabric though 😔 The nano puff is also 10D face fabric. The down hoodie is 50D though I wish they’d do that for the synthetic jackets, at least one model.

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙

[@emerycomputer]

@2:50 I'd venture to guess 9 out of 10 randomly picked individuals will have no idea what nano or micro mean and how they stack against one another in terms of exponents. Even at Patagonia design team 🤣 Good overview!

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for watching! 😃 -Eric

[@shootermcgavin4999]

How do you get the wrinkles out? Is it acceptable to wear in public with all the wrinkles?

[@noahzero9380]

Duh lol

[@cannibalmanimal2336]

I’d like to see a vid comparing insulated vests. The reversible Crankset’s still my fave

[@JauLingChou]

No emphasis on denier/durability, why? That is pretty important imo!

[@davidkindermann8502]

Denier was mentioned right at the beginning

[@JauLingChou]

@@davidkindermann8502 mention vs emphasis are two different things guy

[@Keem-notes]

What size do you wear?

[@maxsky77]

all are medium

[@anvitsharma369]

Loved the review! Which watch is that in your hand? looks lovely!

Liked and subbed. Just bought the Nano on a whim. Looks okay.

hy i need to move out of my house and i "plan" to live on the street for some time ....i want to spent my last money on quality outdoor gear to make the trip pleasant as possible ....in the last 10 years in my city it didn't get colder as -15 degrees celsius but these temperatures are very rare, last 2 years coldest day was around -7 degrees celsius .... i want to have all the gear that's necessary but as less as possible, so that everything fits into a backpack, also i want very good stuff but not the supa most expensive .... i'm not 100% done with the planning of the whole wardrobe so far but for lower body i plan right now to have 2-3 pairs of icebreaker 260 tech leggings as underwear/first base layer, 1 jogging pant, 1 patagonia torrentshell pant, 1 basketballshort, 3-4 pairs of merino socks (don't know which one so far) and maybe some full leather impregnated basketball shoes....for upper body i plan 2-3 icebreaker 260 tech ls half zip, a warm merino zip hoodie, patagonia nano-air jacket, patagonia torrentshell jacket ...a pair of gloves and a merino beanie ....this wardrobe should easily be versatile enough for 99% of the days around the year but do you think it will be warm enough if i'm inactive and the temperatures get around -15 degrees celsius? ...do you have some other wardrobe recommendations for my "outdoor adventure"? i'm very thankful for a response

[@PackHacker2]

Hi Snub Dawg! Unfortunately, your situation is a bit out of our area of expertise. The wardrobe you provided are things we would recommend for travel, but there are too many factors to tell if these are the best options for your needs. Best of luck as you start this new journey! - Austin

[@jm77_josemanuel]

Super interesting comparison.

[@PackHacker2]

Glad you liked it! - Austin

[@Ineedfwns]

When you say “don’t leave it packed for too long” what duration is “too long”

[@PackHacker2]

Ideally, no more than a couple of days at a time. That said, gear is often compressed for weeks at a time in warehouses before they get purchased. Another way to think about it is don't store your jacket in its compressed state. Hope this helps! - Austin

[@RealMuperSan]

The nano and micro don’t look warm at all!

[@arnodr5804]

But they are! Happy owner of a Nano for 2 years. I used it up to around 0°C with just a T-shirt and thin pullover.

[@colebrantmeier6821]

the micro is shockingly warm

[@cannibalmanimal2336]

They are surprisingly warm, especially when cleverly layered. All 3 have a good temp range

[@JosePerez-ok8ez]

@@cannibalmanimal2336 I'm wearing the micro as I'm typing this in Chicago and I must admit I'm warm
