Patagonia Nano Air Hybrid Vest Review

Patagonia s nano air light hybrid is just that.

Patagonia nano air hybrid vest review. On the back and under the arms is much thinner stretch waffle knit polyester. And an airy wicking knit for warm stretchy breathable performance. A flyweight shell fabric. 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 revolution accelerates. Warm stretchy and breathable fullrange insulation dumps excess heat when you re working hard and keeps you warm when you re not. A hybrid with two different fabrics in play. 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.

After the success of the nano jacket by patagonia in 2014 it was only natural for the brand to come out with a vest. 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 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 most instances the nano air s weight is perfectly acceptable for throwing in a pack on year round backcountry missions.

The nano air light hybrid vest delivers for high exertion athletes and cool weather missions by combining 40 g fullrange insulation. When i was sent a sample of patagonia s new nano air light hybrid i was excited to try it out. A flyweight shell fabric. That being said this not a paid review and if it is rubbish i ll tell you.

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