Review: Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket (Full Zip)

Over the last two months, I've put this jacket through its paces. It has seen duty mountain biking, road biking, skiing and -- of course -- fishing. In that time, it has unquestionably become one of my favorite pieces of gear. Patagonia got almost everything right with this jacket, at least as far as we can tell. Following are some of the traits to look for in winter outer layers for fishing, and how the Nano Puff stacks up.

Warmth

The Nano Puff is stupid warm. It isn't as warm as its aforementioned down counterpart but, in my opinion, unless your function is standing at a bus stop in sub-freezing temperatures, the Down Jacket is too warm for most pursuits. Although we've had a relatively mild winter out east, the Nano Puff has been my normal wear jacket for most of the season, and I've gotten by comfortably most days with just a t-shirt underneath. Even on the coldest days, the Nano Puff provides ample warmth even when idle, when paired with anything even resembling proper winter clothing.
