Patagonia Nano Air Hybrid Vest Review

On the back and under the arms is much thinner stretch waffle knit polyester.

Patagonia nano air hybrid vest review.

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. A hybrid with two different fabrics in play. That being said this not a paid review and if it is rubbish i ll tell you. And an airy wicking knit for warm stretchy breathable performance.

And an airy wicking knit for warm breathable performance dur. 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. When i was sent a sample of patagonia s new nano air light hybrid i was excited to try it out. Patagonia s nano air light hybrid is just that.

A flyweight shell fabric. A flyweight shell fabric. 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. After the success of the nano jacket by patagonia in 2014 it was only natural for the brand to come out with a vest.

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. In most instances the nano air s weight is perfectly acceptable for throwing in a pack on year round backcountry missions. With the nano air light hybrid jacket and vest you get a small amount of the warmth we like in the nano air 40 grams of stretch polyester insulation in specific but what s more important is you. The nano air revolution accelerates.

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. 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 front panel is 40g fullrange insulation slightly less than the 60g fullrange used in the original nano air jacket for greater breathability.
