Patagonia Micro Puff Hoody

It may sound a bit inflated, but the Micro Puff Hoody offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio of any jacket Patagonia has ever developed. The unparalleled combination of minimal weight, maximum compressibility, and superior insulation power (even when wet) merges the versatility of synthetic insulation with the benefits and comfort of down. The revolutionary PlumaFill insulation (65 g/m² made from 100% polyester) is incredibly lightweight and compressible. It insulates almost as well as down—even when wet. A Pertex Quantum outer material made of ripstop nylon with DWR treatment blocks wind and snow. The cut maximizes efficiency and avoids unnecessary bulk. Details include zippered handwarmer pockets (the left one doubles as a stuff sack with a reinforced carabiner loop) and two slim, open inner pockets.
