The
Patagonia W's Nano Puff Pullover is a very nice and light pullover. It is well-made, the material is comfortable on the skin and it is very warm.
I like that it packs very small, so it is easy to take on a trip and does not take a lot of space. The colour is nice, but maybe more subtle colours are better. It doesn't let any wind through and also in the light rain it kept me dry. I like that it is made of 100% recycled polyester, and once it is old it can be send back with the Patagonia Common Threads Recycling Programme and be recycled again.
The cuff of the arms are nice and fit tight around the wrists, but the general cut could be tighter - for a feminine cut I think it is very wide. Nevertheless, it sits fine and also the hem in the back does not rise when walking. The front pocket is good, one could store a map there, or a key & iPod when one goes for a walk in the city garden.
Because it is such a warm garment, the long front zipper is useful for ventilation when the temperatures are rising but the wind is chilly and one wants to keep the arms covered. All in all, it is a great garment which is perfect for winter activities or the summer evenings in Finland when the sun is gone and a breeze is going.

Patagonia W's Nano Puff Pullover
This is a post written by my fiancée who currently is on holidays in Spain - and the Nano Puff Pullover is with her as well. She'll answer questions when she's back next weekend =)
ReplyDeleteLooks great, pretty similar to my favorite jacket, the montbell thermawrap parka. Jackets like these are incredibly versatile and can be used most of the year.
ReplyDeletePatagonia stuff is always very nice and well made. I like their commitment to recycled and recyclable materials. Their pants fit me a treat and I rarely use much else but their tops though I find a bit 'boxy'. I like the colour a lot though!
ReplyDeleteNice report, love the colour, where did you buy it, UK?
ReplyDeleteRoger, click the link to the European Mailorder store, from where you can order one.
ReplyDeleteJoe, that colour kicks arse! As you, I like their environmental approach to business and that their gear is always well made.
Thomas, yeps, I agree, synthetic jackets can be used pretty much year around without problems. The Thermawrap looks nice as well.
I just heard from Patagonia that the cut of the Nano Puff will become more "feminine" and less boxy in the next season, good news!

ReplyDeleteIs there another frog-green nano-puff in Tampere?! I thought that I had the only one :). One great piece of gear.

ReplyDeleteOne amazing piece of gear.
