The Patagonia Nano Puff Men's Hoody takes the brand's do-everything synthetic puffy and adds a hood for extra coverage when the weather turns. It is warm, wind-resistant and packable, and the fill shrugs off damp conditions that would flatten down.

Why we like it:

That insulated hood is the upgrade, sealing warmth around your head under a helmet or on its own.

Features and Functions:

Patagonia packs the hoody with 60 gram PrimaLoft Gold Insulation Eco, a recycled-polyester synthetic built with P.U.R.E. technology, under a wind- and water-resistant recycled polyester ripstop shell finished with durable water repellent. An insulated hood, zippered handwarmer pockets, a chest pocket inside that packs the hoody down, and Fair Trade Certified stitching make it trip-ready.

Fit and Sizing:

It has a trim, layering cut with just enough room for a midlayer, and it runs true.

Bottom Line:

This is the version to grab when you want packable warmth plus head coverage, from cold chairlift rides to winter travel. Best for skiers who want a hood on their go-to puffy.
