The men's vest version of Patagonia's "magic jacket" — warm, windproof, water-resistant core insulation for the active-stationary cycle where full-sleeve insulation traps heat during exertion. The midlayer that handles cardio without overheating.
Built with a 1.4-oz 20-denier 100% recycled polyester ripstop shell and a DWR finish made without intentionally added PFAS, insulated with 60-g PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation Eco — 100% postconsumer recycled polyester with P.U.R.E.™ (Produced Using Reduced Emissions) technology. Fabrics are bluesign® approved.
Standout features:
- PrimaLoft® Gold Eco synthetic insulation — warmth-to-weight that stays warm when wet, reduces carbon emissions versus conventional production
- Signature horizontal brick quilting — durable, abrasion-resistant thread stabilizes insulation as outer layer or low-profile base under shells
- Center-front zipper — wicking interior storm flap, zipper garage at chin
- Two zippered handwarmer pockets — cleanly finished zipper garages
- Self-stuffing chest pocket — internal zippered pocket doubles as stuffsack with reinforced carabiner clip-in loop
- Drawcord-adjustable drop-tail hem — seals in warmth at the back
Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, meaning the people who built it earned a premium for their labor. Fabrics are bluesign® approved. The DWR finish is made without intentionally added PFAS.
Right pick for active customers who already own full-sleeve Nano Puffs and want a complementary core-warmer — useful for shoulder-season runs, ski touring, cool-weather cycling, and the daily rotation where one vest earns regular use under shells or as standalone outerwear in milder conditions.
