Patagonia Nano Puff Insulated Jacket - Men's

February 17, 2012

Wow. @ kei3762194 "the only advantage primaloft offers over down is down can get wet. " Gosh, like when is THAT an advantage? It's never wet when I go outside. For snow sports? Not like snow is ever wet... What, the snow would have to like melt or something to actually make "wet" conditions... You're right being able to insulate when wet is probably NO advantage in the out of doors. And BTW I'm sure a synthetic jacket from Walmart weighs way less than a Nano...

Pros:
Nice size for an overnight trip; skiing or climbing. Expands to hold a ton of gear. Lots of compartments make organization a breeze. I like the drinking system. I trust a nalgene in my pack way more than any bladder. Separate shovel compartment, dedicated probe/Shovel handle sleeves, and hip pockets are sweet. And the side zipper makes getting at your gear easy.

Cons:
The padding on the waist belt and shoulder straps is too thin. Overall I would like to have more support for hauling all of the gear this pack can hold. The material is way too thin to take any abuse. Two climbing trips and the pack already has several small rips in it. Definately not a cragging pack.

I think this will make a good ski pack but for climbing it's a dud.
