Customer Reviews Patagonia Nano Puff® Vest

This is a wonderful basic that works under rain coats, over flannels or sweaters, and looks great with everything from yoga pants to skirts! The sizing is a bit confusing and for me, didn't jive with what some other reviewers said here. I am 5' 5" and 119 pounds, and a 34D. I have narrow hips. The small fit well up top but was too tight in the hip area to zip comfortably, especially when wearing a sweater under it. The medium is a little too full on me, but is more comfortable, especially for layering.

Great vest! I really like the color and style. Flattering yet warm! I got my normal size (medium) and it fits as expected. If you are looking to layer with heavier pieces then you might want to size up because (for me at least) the bottom band it snug when zipped. I got it on sale, so for that price I would definitely buy it again.

I really love this vest. It is lightweight and keeps me warm. Just what I was looking for. I am 5'7" and 130 lbs and a small is perfect. The style is a little quirky in the shoulder but I think it is mostly due to the item being all packaged up. I think it will lay better after I wash it.

I really like this vest, it's perfect for milder weather such as the spring or fall. Not as warm or bulky as a down vest. Great for layering.

Nice light vest. I will work well over a shirt. I am 5'7" and 160 lbs. Large fit perfect with a bit of room for layers under.

This vest is beyond comfortable I never want to take it off! Having added pockets without the bulk of a coat is important when you are running around. It has a refined look to it so it can be worn with yoga pants, jeans or khaki's.

Love this vest, it is comfortable and cute on. I ordered both the medium and large and felt the medium was too snug. I usually wear a medium so I might suggest ordering a size up especially if you are wearing long sleeve shirts underneath.

Vest has been worn by my family members too, including my grandson. This is a must have item. Good looking, size accurate, it looks dressy but practical.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Very light, but still warm and can be used by itself or as a layer under a thin waterproof jacket. Stylish enough that you can wear it anywhere. Perfect for the spring in the mountains.

Light weight, vest - yet warm. Great fit and great looking. Happy with the purchase.

I bought this for a trip in the Canadian Rockies and was skeptical on the warmth due to how light it is. However, it was great! Light, easy to pack, and warm. I highly recommend this! I usually buy Northface, but the quality and style of this is way better.

This is a great vest! It is very light weight and packs easily, while still providing a fair amount of extra warmth. I often throw it in my bag (it takes up almost no room) when I travel or go out so that I have an extra layer if it gets chilly.

Love. Sizing--I'm 5'8", 145, 32DD, and I got a medium. It's looser in the waist than it needs to be, but fits well in the chest. It also hits low hip, which I love. Material -- When I first felt it, I wasn't sure it would provide any warmth, but I have worn it all day (from low 40s to mid 60s) and I found it perfect. It is thin and lightweight so that you don't feel like a marshmallow chest with sticks for arms. And it moves easily. I am very pleased with this vest. Thanks, Patagonia!

I love this vest. I have the jacket in another color. I would buy a 2nd jacket if Patagonia made it in this wonderful winter white. I have just traveled most of Oct with this vest. It was perfect. Rolled up in my purse when not needed. Warm when needed. Not bulky and fit nicely over any tops I wore. Great vest!

This is a cool weather vest, Not a cold weather vest. When I first got the vest, I thought Patagonia forgot to stuff it. I'm 5'5, 120lbs and I got an extra small, and its roomy. Very comfortable and lightweight. I have the micro puff jacket, which is much warmer. I wish they made a micro puff vest as the nano puff is so light and more for everyday use. Its pretty expensive for an extra lightweight layer. However, it fits well, washes well, and will be good to wear when it's too warm for a jacket. The vest is going to be a pricey replacement for an extra tank top.

I was excited to receive this product, but a little bummed out once I tried it on. I am 5'5'' and 115 lbs with an athletic build. The vest stayed a little too wide at the bottom and looked a little too scrunched when it was tightened. I purchased the tomato color and was hoping it would be a bit more red than the pink that it was. The vest was a beautiful lighter weight perfect to wear over a long sleeve on a fall day or under a jacket on a colder winter day. Patagonia is a great company and this was a wonderful product, just wasn't the perfect fit I was hoping for! I'll be searching their other vest options!

It's a warm, lightweight jacket. Great layering piece that makes it usable 3 out of 4 seasons. My only complaint is the shape. The top on the M was too loose on me but fit in the hips; the hips on the S was too tight on me but fit up top. I'm 5'6", 137lbs, 36B, size 4-6 tops, size 8 pants. Hope that helps!

I was excited about getting my black Nano puff vest because I already have a blue one that I love. This one though did not have much "puff" at all. The small was also larger than my small blue one. I was very disappointed.

I was really looking forward to getting this vest, but there is something wrong with the design or materials it is made from. It puffs up in the shoulders and at the back, making the person wearing it look like a hunchback! I don't know if this happened in the wash or before, but I feel very uncomfortable when I wear it. I love my Nano Puff jacket, so this is a huge bummer, and since I washed and wore it straight away I can't send it back.
