Patagonia Nano Air Hybrid Vest Review

The nano air revolution accelerates.

Patagonia nano air hybrid vest review. When i was sent a sample of patagonia s new nano air light hybrid i was excited to try it out. The nano air light hybrid vest combines 40 g fullrange insulation. That being said this not a paid review and if it is rubbish i ll tell you. And an airy wicking knit for warm breathable performance dur.

On the back and under the arms is much thinner stretch waffle knit polyester. Finally patagonia s own nano air light hybrid jacket is the ultralight option at 9 2 ounces but it isn t as warm the waffle knit along the back and sides breathes even better however. The nano air vest was made to be worn for the entirety of your aerobic start stop alpine missions so you re never slowed down by changing layers. The patagonia nano air has long been a popular jacket and vest within patagonia s insulation line but some complaints including mine is that there is too much insulation when you re active.

A hybrid with two different fabrics in play. In most instances the nano air s weight is perfectly acceptable for throwing in a pack on year round backcountry missions. Warm stretchy and breathable fullrange insulation dumps excess heat when you re working hard and keeps you warm when you re not. After the success of the nano jacket by patagonia in 2014 it was only natural for the brand to come out with a vest.

The patagonia nano air light hybrid hoody takes the breathable properties of the patagonia nano air combines them with waffle knit back and sides and makes for a lighter sportier jacket that wants to replace your lightweight fleeces while this jacket breathes like no other it doesn t match the warmth of other synthetic insulators and should be used as part of a layering system and the more. In this review i ll be covering the patagonia nano air vest which uses the new nano air insulation technology that is extremely light provides plenty of warmth and breaths once the heart rate goes up. Patagonia s nano air light hybrid is just that. And an airy wicking knit for warm stretchy breathable performance.

There is no secret that i am a fan of patagonia s gear it s always made with a high standard and the company has an ethos that i relate too and admire. A flyweight shell fabric. The front panel is 40g fullrange insulation slightly less than the 60g fullrange used in the original nano air jacket for greater breathability.
