The COVID-19 pandemic is taking over communities around the world at an astounding rate. While testing availability in the United States is still limited, and so the extent of the virus’s spread is largely unknown, we want to do our part to protect everyone. The safety of our employees and our communities is our top priority, and we are taking responsible precautions to help stop the spread of this scary virus where we can.
We have temporarily closed our stores, offices and other operations in the United States. We have also closed stores and offices in Argentina, Chile, Japan and across Europe. Our Australia and South Korea operations will continue on a modified work schedule in stores and offices, with some stores closed depending on location. Employees who can work from home will do so. All Patagonia employees will continue to receive their regular pay during these closures.
We are working to find solutions to protect the safety of our warehouse team, and we hope to have an update about online orders in the coming weeks. We apologize that over the next two weeks there will be delays on orders and customer-service requests. We ask for your understanding and patience. We will continue to keep you updated with new developments.
We encourage our friends everywhere to take the extra precautions necessary to safeguard their health and that of others. It’s everyone’s responsibility to help stop the spread of this virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and your local health authorities are the best resources for updates and answers to questions.
Over the years, as our Patagonia community has been faced with challenges,I have always been inspired by how we emerge stronger and with an even deeper sense of purpose. We will persevere through this challenge, too.
Thank you for your business, loyalty and patience.
Long had I held back from buying this jacket. It is pricey for sure. Then I caved and purchased it.

The scientists at Patagonia have cracked the code, this thing is inexplicably warm for how thin and lightweight it is.

Since 2008 Ive been wearing my much loved down sweater hoody. This year, despite trying to be a minimalist, I decided to upgrade.

This new jacket is a little lighter, I love the slim fit, it sheds light rain and mist, looks great - Ive been wearing it every day since I got it, walking to work in all conditions, from about 28° (with hat and gloves) all the way up to the low 60s, in drizzle, wind and sunshine.
Im 60, 200 lbs. I could wear the L, but it was a little snug in the shoulders, so I went with the XL, which is slightly loose in a comfortable way. Fantastic new favorite!!!
The micro puff is by far the best lightweight insulation I've worn. Surprisingly warm and packable.

Even more packable and light than the nano puff, I hope it as durable and water proof.
Purchased this after my down jacket of 10 years finally gave out. This is a awesome jacket and the hood is a great addition. Super warm and very comfortable. Another awesome jacket from Patagonia! I try to be pretty true and honest with reviews and this jacket rocks!
It's hard to believe a jacket this light can be so warm. I wear it more than any other jacket because its so light, packable, sylish and most importantly warm! I'm usually a minimalist in my clothing but I have three different colors in this jacket because I wear it every day in the cold months.
I have had my micropuff since December of 2018. The warmth to weight ratio of this jacket is incredible. It compresses very well and hasn’t lost its loftyness after being thrown in a stuff sack 100 times. I use it the most when bringing a belay jacket would be overkill but I still want something more than just my Nano Puff. The face fabric blocks t... Read Morehe wind very well.
The one major flaw however is that the hood is not helmet compatible. It is very a trim fitted hood designed to be worn under your helmet. Which would make sense if it were a mid layer but it isn’t. Because it isn’t breathable I’m only wearing it when I’m not moving.
Please make the hood helmet compatible on the next generation. I’d like to hear from a Patagonia rep why they chose to not have a helmet compatible hood.
This is a pretty perfect jacket. It's lightweight but retains warmth like there's a little furnace inside. It blocks wind and keeps me dry. It looks great without being too puffy and has a pretty solid silhouette. The hood looks a little ridiculous but is function over form. Highly recommend.
The title is a BIG claim and I usually do not write reviews. But, with this jacket, I had to. I lost my mountain hardwear ghost whisperer jacket on a bus in Spain. My wife and I were in Europe for an ultra bikepacking race across the Pyrenees, so I needed a jacket. I decided on this jacket. The jacket is not as warm as my mountain hardwear ghost wh...

I wore the jacket during the Pyrenees race cycling over cols in the middle of the night. I used the jacket as my sleeping bag on the side of a dirt road in Spain, during the race. I wear it daily commuting to work on my FAT bike. I wore it during my successful attempt of the Rapha Festive 500 in Colorado (A challenge to cycle 500k between Christmas and New Year’s), where temperatures dropped to -14f. I wear it skinning in the backcountry and up the resorts early in the mornings. I unzip it going up and just zip it up when skiing down.
This is an amazing jacket for those who are always moving. I think I would need more if I were sitting around in the cold. But, why would I do that? ;-)
Sorry, no photos......
My son would never wear a coat even in the coldest of weather. However, his new Micro Puff coat is so light and comfortable that he wears it all the time!!
I’ve had other Patagonia jackets in the past but none are as light and warm as this one. The micro puff is now my favorite jacket all around and my go to for just about any adventure.
After just over a year of hard use this puffy has continued to hit all the marks. Very light and packable, yet quite warm and windproof. Also the styling is A+, looks great around town too.

Thanks.
Quality: This jacket has the durability and quality that we're all accustomed to from Patagonia. Whether you're hiking Mount Rainier or going cross-country through Afghanistan, this jacket will withstand whatever you have to throw at it.

Patagonia really hit the mark with this jacket and you'll know why as soon as you put one on. It's scary light, super packable, and just the right amount of warm for active individuals. I convinced my whole team to buy one after how impressed I was with its construction and performance.
Really great jacket, been happy with my purchase. I'm 5'8 and 150lbs, normally I wear a medium but after reading the reviews on the fit I went with the small which fits perfectly.
This jacket is the real deal. It is amazingly lightweight, super packable and surprisingly warm. Bought this for hiking through the mountains in New Zealand (start the hike at 74F and end at 38F kind of thing). Kept me warm all the way up and down.

For the warmth you get out of this jacket, it seems like it be pretty bulky and heavy, however I'm pretty sure you could use this thing as an emergency parachute... the weight is great and doesn't make me feel like a michelin man when I layer underneath. It's a sweet coat.
Many, many Patagonia costs over a lot of years. This is my favorite. Warm enough to wear in low temps, light brought to wear in the 50’s. Water resistant too. Great coat.
I gave this jacket to my son for christmas, and he loved it. It was lightweight but very warm—perfect for everyday use in winter. The hood covers part of the face so extra warm. He will also wear the jacket under a shell for skiing. The jacket was a hit.
I’m lovin’ my new puffy! I’ve owned the Nano Puff Hoody for 2 years (great jacket), but my new Micro Puff is a serious upgrade. It’s incredibly light and significantly warmer.

I've been wearing this for a little over a year and enjoyed its light weight

Happy to have this item in the wardrobe. Having used a big NF Down Coat since early 2000, I was ready for modernizing the weather protection.

The XXL fits well, but I would say I'm at the end of the line in sizing. Consider encouraging bigger people to be active by equipping and empowering them to a more active person (through sizing, hint hint). I love the little details like the hemming on the cuff's and hood, dual internal stow pockets, and zippered outer pockets. This pairs well with a fleece or wool vest for optimum layering. Definitely pick one of these up. I recommend to all who want a lightweight versatile hooded jacket.
I bought the Men's Micro Puff Hoody as an insulation layer for skiing, and also for casual, light weight jacket. It is very comfortable, and works perfectly for
both skiing and an everyday insulation piece. It has quickly become my go-to outerwear jacket for running to the store, a quick walk with my dogs, or my drive to work.
This jacket is great for your layering kit bag, I pair it with a Houdini in the rain, and if I need more warmth a R1 Hoodie. My only ding is that on mine it seems like they didn't put any insulation in some of the baffles on both elbows so I get cold spots on both arms right above the elbow. A weird place for cold spots.
Patagonia needs a slim fit/athletic cut for some of these jackets. I love everything about my new coat, except the cut. It bunches up awkwardly in front, and it's wide in the sides. I had an older coat that had a better shape to it and it was more form fitting. I'm not skinny, either. But I also don't have a big beer belly, which one...

I loved the jacket. The overall weight and packability feature is unreal! It is super light and great for all around town in warmer weather!

I regretfully write this I say regret as I am a avid Patagonia supporter but I am very very disappointed for my long awaited purchase of this jacket only to have the filling continually surface through the seams of my jacket. Very frustrating and quit annoying.
Hey there, thanks for the review and we are so sorry to hear that the insulation is leaking through those seams. Just like down, plumes sometimes come through stitch holes, so too does the PlumaFill insulation come through the stitch holes at times. If you’re dissatisfied, please feel free to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return) it and we can exchange for a [Nano Puff](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-nano-puff-hoody/84222.html?dwvar_84222_color=CNY&cgid=root&isSearch=true#q=nano%2Bpuff%2Bhoody&lang=en_US&start=1) that doesn’t have this problem like down or PlumaFill. To fix it yourself, for small instances, were it is tiny individual fibers, you can break them off. If it is a larger white clump of insulation, we suggest you try to pull it back into the jacket by pinching it from behind and pulling the fabric forward. You can also cut the larger white clump with scissors, but be extremely careful not to cut the fabric or the stitch.

Really an exceptional single layer jacket that also works well as a mid-layer on super cold days skiing.
I’ve been holding out on getting a light weight puff for a while, but have enjoyed it just about every day I’ve had it. Great as a layering piece under a variety of other shells/jackets and also quite warm as an outer layer. Packs so small it will be in my travel bag for at least 3 seasons, if not four.
The warmth to weight on this jacket truly is phenomenal, but it doesn’t mean it’s extremely warm. The jacket is almost weightless, and will keep you comfortably warm as long as you don’t wear it 55 degrees Fahrenheit and below. Otherwise, excellent quality.
Great jacket, great weight, great colors, but… wait!? Oh no, the carbon color (wonderful green color) comes with a contrasting grey piping that was a deal breaker. I can't for the life of me understand why Patagonia adds contrasting piping, particularly at the sleeve cuffs of men's jackets. For little girls jackets, okay, but for men'...

I’ve been using Patagonia gear since before it was Patagonia . The equipment just keeps getting better. This latest puffy jacket is amazingly light and warm. I live in the PNW where it is ideal for wet, cold weather. It’s a must-have in my daypack for long day hikes and for around town.
Great warmth for weight, cold spots in weird places
I love this jacket for many reasons, the least of which is its warmth. The materials are comfortable enough that I have fallen asleep in it (hood and all) and the fit is athletic without being too slim (layers easily).

LOVE this jacket. Perfect for mid-Atlantic winters below 3000'. Below 30F, I need more than a T-shirt or lightweight Capilene base layer. Very stylish and functional.

The neck gaiter just adds more bulk which I don't really want. Still 5 stars. Early on when considering this piece, I saw some reviews about the Plumafill coming through seams. That is not my experience less than 2 years into this jacket. It's pretty dadgum awesome!
I have no idea why it took me so long to order the puff hoody .after seeing others on a offshore fishing trip wearing the hoody and me being miserable I placed a order for one that very night.What a wonderful garment. No more Mr Miserable !
Light, warm, comfortable. Hood fits perfectly when snow, wind makes things interesting. Layer a shell and you’re good for what the weather gods give ya. My new favorite puffer.
I’ve only had this micro puff about a week or so. I’m liking it a lot. Lightweight, warm and seems showerproof as well. The Mtn weather has been cold lately but this is working well without a shell if out for a bit. Works well with a shell as it’s low volume. Can’t wait to ski in it.
This jacket is so lightweight and compact it can be taken anywhere! Provides incredible warmth without the bulk. Excellent for backpacking and winter activities.
The jacket’s hood is the best hood I’ve ever had on a jacket. The only think I dislike is the main zipper. It occasionally gets caught on the flaps behind it, and I wonder if a larger YKK zipper would preclude this. I’m also worried about the durability of the pockets in terms of car keys.
Very warm and wind resistant as promised, the hood seals and protects well. I have worn this as my only layer in 30 degree weather in windy conditions comfortably.
This piece is very light and very warm for the weight. The hooded Micro Puff fits great - I'm 6' and 175lbs and wear the medium - and it packs down pretty darn small. It's going with me on all backcountry adventures.
This jacket slots perfectly into my current lineup of jackets. I’ve used it on a very colD and windy 17-F night biking home with only a tee shirt underneath.

Light on weight but heavy on warmth. I have several of these jackets and recommend them to anyone. Help shed light rain, while regulating body temperature. Don't let the soft outer fabric make you think these jackets cant handle some heavy duty wear and tear. I use and abuse all things patagonia and they stand up!
Decent level of warmth for being so thin. Works great as a mid layer under a shell or heavy coat. Packs down tightly for convenient storage while backpacking. The size Medium fits me perfectly; I am 5'9", ~170 pounds, athletic build.
This jacket is my new go to jacket for climbing adventures for saving wight and space. I reach for it every time now over my nano puff. Lighter and warmer than my nano puff!

Super light weight. First test was a sub 0 degree ski tour with base layer and mid layer. Just put it on for alpine and downhill. Very comfortable except neck and chin are a bit too tight. Was willing to zip all the way. Very happy with warmth.
Having loved my Nano Puff Hoody over the past number of years, I thought I should try the new, extra-feathery Micro Puff Hoody.

The Micro Puff uses Pertex which, in my experience, offers a... Read More more tenacious, longer wearing DWR (water shed) characteristics. The features on the Micro Puff are more spare (no internal zippered chest pocket) and the hood is more of a skull fit.

But the Micro - though lighter and more compressible - feels a skosh warmer. As for the Nano Puff, it's a good daily driver in town and works pretty damn well in the mountains, too.
I absolutely love this jacket because it is so versatile. I use it as a light windbreaker on my commute to work or as an insulator underneath my raincoat.

This jacket is unbelievably light for how warm it is. I like the fit for how well it layers underneath my shell. Overall it is a great jacket. Simple, light, warm and ultra-packable. I'm 6'0, 165 lbs and the medium fits perfect.
Coat fits great with lots of good room for movement. Ample stuff pockets inside are great. Big exterior zip pockets outside have the bottom of the zipper too high to comfortably stuff in my hands on a cold evening; it feels like I’m going to tear the zipper
Love this jacket. Super light and packable. It has also kept me warm with a midweight layer underneath in temps in the 20s (F). Doesn't breath as well as my Nano Air, but I can't think of anything else that could be improved. I'm 5' 8" 155 and wear a small. It fits fine over a base and mid layer

Light and Warm
This is an awesome Jacket. Love that they are light yet warm.
Great versatile hoody. Perfect for travel.
I got size small and the fit is just right for me (5'7", 150 lbss). Love the jacket so also getting one for my wife.
My MicroPuff is never far and it's always in my bag when I travel. Great product that I can wear almost year round. Typically my first layer after my shell when skiing.
Super happy with my new Mirco. I had the original season version, but the new color had me stoked. Was even happier to find out that they slimmed it out and streamlined it a bit. The old one was a touch loose.
Love the warmth and weight. The hood is an excellent addition and adds to the versatility. I also love the interior large pockets. Thanks for making awesome gear!
Great jacket. Love the fit and warmth. The under-the-helmet hood design isn't my favorite, but it is certainly not a deal breaker. If you don't absolutely need the hood, especially knowing the tight fit, I would recommend the jacket version. Otherwise a great jacket.
This jacket is wonderful; it has been great for everything I do, from work to play. The only jacket I own which surpasses this new micro puff in warmth, comfort, and versatility is my old Patagonia down jacket. I have always worried about the durability of my beloved puffy, but have never torn it (I'm highly neurotic about this) and it has nev... Read Moreer packed out. Safe to say that with this new micro puff jacket, I will be taking a lot of wear off of my old puffy by making the micro puff my go to insulation layer. The old puffy will be reserved for only the coldest of days.
As a taller individual it's nice to have jackets that come in a decent length. This puff will not disappoint to keep you warm and look pretty cool doin it. it also has just enough stretch to allow full range of motion for any adventure someone may be on.
Obviously time will tell as I have only worn it once in easy conditions. However, first impressions are great and it's just like it has been described. Super light, very compressible and looks great. Hopefully, it will be a long term piece for me.
Jacket fits great. It’s incredibly light weight and warm, I don’t want to take it off. Still have not yet put it to the test in colder weather but I’m confident it will do well.
The jacket represents excellent quality, with great design and features. It would otherwise get 5 stars but there are 2 1/2 slight faults.
First, the hood is very small. I have a slightly above average male head, but not massive. The hood is too small to fit on my head without anything underneath. No chance of even beanie. If you want to put a hoo... Read Mored this tight on a jacket, the hood must be stretch (think hybrid fleece/synthetic jacket). You cannot design a tight fitting hood and expect it to fit a broad range of head shapes without stretch to cover more range of shapes/sizes.
Second, the waist has no drawstring and the elastic is cut a touch tight. Meaning if I reach up at all the jacket comes up, but won't go back down. A bit frustrating if I'm using the jacket in an active situation.
The 1/2 issue is sizing: the jacket is sized fairly average for a medium, maybe a touch on the small side, but the forearms are small.
Thanks for your feedback Patrick! Although the Micro Puff fit meets our standard fit dimensions, it’s unfamiliar pattern lines can sometimes fit or drape unlike other similar fit products. If you are dissatisfied with how it fits, we’d suggest our [Nano Puff](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-nano-puff-hoody/84222.html), which uses a more traditional pattern block. Of course, if you're unsatisfied with its performance, you are welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it.

Snuggly as ..
It’s so comfortable, light & packable. I can’t wait for winter temps
Love this Micro Puff Hoody! It weighs nothing, incredibly warm and compacts into a pocket making it easy to travel with. The hood fits nice and snug without restraining peripheral vision like some hoods. I wear this piece from fishing, camping, everyday life and don’t hesitate to wear it out on the town as well.
I am very happy with my micropuff hoody. The jacket is a lightweight, packable and warm. However it wouldn't be the first jacket i reach for when temperatures get below 20 degrees or so. A great early season and lightweight summer trips
This is a very simple jacket but is light and warm. It is versatile so it can be worn as a main outer jacket or a mid layer under a shell.
It is very light and that makes it comfortable.
Good fit overall. A bit baggy across the front of the shoulders. Also when the zipper is all the way up the opening of the hood is a bit tight; a simple shock cord and cord lock system would have been better here for me.
I love it! Only been wearing this new jacket a week now, but it's great. Pockets feel a little high, but maybe I should have bought a size larger. I'm 5'10" in a medium. The snug fitting hood is amazing and my first one like this.
Always satisfied with patagonia products! Haven’t been able to use my new jacket to it’s full extent yet but when the snow falls I know I’ll have confidence in my new micro puff. Thanks Patagonia for such great gear!
Walking to the crag in the morning cold, or belaying in the shade during Fall, this hoody will be your best friend. When the sun gets warmer, the Hoody is so light you won’t feel its weight on your backpack.
I am 5'10'' 150 lbs and the size M fit me perfectly. Have worn this jacket a ton since purchasing it and am continually amazed by how warm it is while weighing virtually nothing. Very practical for camping and other outdoor adventures, but stylish enough to wear around town as well. Would definitely recommend very highly to anyone lo... Read Moreoking for a warm versatile jacket!
Great fit all around. Seems warm for weight. Have not had a chance to test it yet in really cold weather. But it will be great for use under a shell as well as on its own spring and fall.
Remarkably warm. It almost feels like it's radiating heat when worn over wool sweater. I've been wearing it out to feed horses at -4 (In October!!!!) here in Jackson this fall.
I do have a bit of a problem with the constriction of the hood. It's difficult to zip up the neck sufficiently to block the cold when not wearing the hood. Y... Read Moreou will need to wear the hood under a helmet as it's so fitted; time will ell whether the outer fabric will survive being under one.
In the NC mountains the weather can shift rapidly. I need clothes that are versatile and portable but also look nice enough to wear to my job in the emergency department in a rural hospital. Thanks for nailing all of these as well as a stunning red color.
I’m probably not the right person to review this jacket. I was not going to squeeze this down into a coffee can size and put it into a pack. I was not going to store the jacket into its own pocket, and put it into a suitcase. I was going to wear it to my daughters hockey game and while going to pick out a Christmas tree. This jacket was too thin fo... Read Morer me. Super lightweight but just not warm enough for me doing any light activity in anything below 45 deg. Didn’t like the internal pockets that they didn’t zip. No draw cord. All this saves on weight that I am not concerned with. Beautiful jacket let’s get that straight, just not for me. Traded up to the Nano and it’s much better for my needs.
