Voluntary Recall of Certain 50+ UPF StylesFree Shipping On Orders Over $75*
Voluntary Recall
We recently discovered that certain styles of the Capilene® Cool Daily and the Tropic Comfort product lines do not meet the 50+ UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating we claimed for them. They still offer solid UV protection—it’s just not as much as advertised. If you own one of these shirts, click below for more information.

I have had a nano puff vest from the beginning and it is always the first piece of clothing that I reach for whether it's walking around town, walking the dogs, fly fishing, or just going out to dinner. It's perfect alone or as a layer. I have several that are faded out to brown on the shoulders from being in the sun, but always keep a go...

I am the greatest Patagonia fan becuase Patagonia fixes my gear. This vest is a replacement for a vest that was beyond repair. But as amazing as the new vest is, it is way too small (medium) and much too large (large). It almost feels like someone mislabel XL as L.
This was purchased as a replacement for a similar nano puff vest I have worn almost daily since 2016 that is finally showing signs of wear. I love the color of this vest: forge gray. There is an upper-left inside pocket that accommodates a large iPhone perfectly.
I originally ordered an XL since my Puff jacket fits so well. However, the vest was much tighter and I got an XXL instead. Problem solved. The vest if perfect combination of form and function that allows free movement with style. It's my first layer as I prepare to photograph bird migrations in the icy predawn hours!
I love this dumb vest. I was never a vest man -- then I bought one of these suckers on sale. I love it. So light, so comfy. It keeps me warm without overheating as I perform the extreme sport of counseling. If you've never vested up before, do yourself a favor and grab one.
I have a handful of regular Nano Puff jackets, this is my first vest, I havent worn it yet (summertime) but if it is half as good as my other Nano Puffs, Im sure it will be great!
I bought this for my husband as a gift. He uses it for golf when it's a bit chilly but he needs to be able to have full use of his arms. This is perfect! And he loves it.
I wear the Nano Puff, while working outdoors to keep the core warm. Yet still feel sharp enough to still wear it out on the town. Camping or drinks downtown its a staple for me.
This is a critical piece if you live in the Pacific Northwest. Definitely a four season item. Although I only recently bought it, I've already taken it on the Yakima River for fly-fishing, trail-run Cougar Mountain in Lake Sammamish and performed multiple grocery runs with it. I didn't want anything too lose, as I need it to fit under a r... Read Moreain jacket if necessary. Being in almost 6'1", I went with the medium and I'm glad I did. It fits like a performance piece should. If you're looking to go mostly casual with it, you may want to consider the large.
Nice vest for everyday wear. Slightly small on me, since I'm 5'10 and 220. I like the thinness of the Nano Puff. I wish it had an inside or chest pocket for a cell phone.
Theres a reason you see these vests all over the place - its a key piece of my gear and it looks great at the same time. This vest is perfect for stuffing in your pack and deploying as temps change - as wind picks up on the mountain I find that this added over a good base layer and flannel keeps me very comfortable down to below zero temps. On the ... Read Moreother end of the spectrum, its great for using over just a base layer and no shell for spring skiing. Just picked up a second one as my ski-patrol version was getting a bit ratty and I like to wear this casually. Get yourself a quiver of these guys, they are fantastic.
I use it for golf when it is a little chilly out. Other than that, I use it virtually every day that the weather is cool. Very light weight, warm and comfortable, it is exactly what I hoped it would be.
In a drafty (home) office, the vest helps calibrate temperature, and offers three pockets for glasses and the now needed masks. Just as flexible on the trail, alone, or layered. This is a forever piece!
I have this same nano in the coat. I love it. I talked with a Patagonia rep and he assured me that the same medium size would be right. It fits smaller than the same size coat. I am disappointed as Ive really been looking forward to this vest as I love the coat.
We are so sorry that the fit wasn't what you expected Tom. We're always open to providing garment dimensions in the future. Currently the Nano Puff® Vest and the Nano Puff® Jacket have comparable dimensions, but they may be different from earlier versions of the jacket. You're more than welcome to [exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it for the next size up.
Very light weight, stows up small, and blocks wind and drizzle.Since I'm upright on the bike, lower back coverage not an issue. Good one handed zipper to regulate body temp.
I got this vest with store credit left over from a jacket trade in. So far its fitting what I wanted it to do. I use mine for layering while I hike, casual (I think it looks good), and Nordic skiing when I want to dump heat with my arms but still keep warm.

I use this vest for cross-country skiing, and it is perfect to put on over a tighter fitting suit for some extra warmth. BUT - Patagonia designers, please consider putting the standard left breast, exterior Napoleon pocket on the Nano Puff Vest and Jacket. That little interior pocket is not good for much. Restore Napoleon!
I have an office job now, this vest is perfect for that cool morning that needs a bit of stylish warmth, but not too much to wear inside the office. The fit is snug and light, not too puffy. I love this vest so much I bought another one (in a different color).
Thanks for your feedback, Bryan! Please let us know if you'd like to return or exchange the size or style. We'll be happy to [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/)!

Too SMALL
I have been a 35+ year Patagonia customer. Something has changed Over the last few years with Patagonia. Specifically, they have started to reduce the size of some of their clothes. Because of COVID, I have not been able to go into the Patagonia store and I have to order online. The last two items I had to return since they were too small.
Sorry this didn't end up working out! Please note, our [Customer Service](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) team is always happy to provide you with measurements to make sure you get the fit you're going for.

Very comfortable and efficient.
You guys are a great company. I have purchased from you since your founder Yvon Choinard started it many years ago. Always happy with your products.
Fits nicely. Fit and finish is very good. So far have use few times. Work in hospital which has significant temperature differences on various floors. This keeps me comfortable all around. Also good for layering when outdoors.
Nice light vest. Yet it packs a punch when you need it while taking a trail break or the cold moves in as you bike home. Excellent design, fit and function.
Great vest for indoor/outdoor wear. Really great to pack for long weekend adventures or extended trips away from home. Folds up neatly into the internal pocket for easy storage.
Use this for cold and cool AM runs in Idaho, great core temp control and very packable if the temperature rises as the sun comes. 175lbs and medium is a snug running fit. Thanks Patagonia for making great products.
My First one was lost in the mail , The Help desk Person was awesome and searched the stores for the same vest , Within 20 mins the Palo Alto Store called me and took care of my issue . Great products and Great Staff
I initially thought this layer would be too thin. It is really quite warm for the bulk and weight. It really excels during high output activities like mountain biking and skinning uphill. It doesn't smell after getting all sweaty on the skin track so I can wear it out to the bar afterwards or work on Monday.
Everything I expected from Patagonia, the quality cant be beat. Great attention to detail. Light enough so I can easily wear under a jacket for extra warmth.
This vest is the perfect under layer.
So light, you forget it is there except you can feel the extra warmth provided. Also a great looking outer layer for a chilly walk or hike.
This is truly a great vest. Outstanding quality, appearance, and functionality. However, the sizing did not work for me. The XL was too snug and the XXL was too big. Had to exchange and then return.

Perfect weight for the activities I purchased it for. Fits well over a hoodie as well as not baggy when only wearing a T-shirt underneath
This is my everyday go to. As I live in the mountains I wear it year around. This is my second one. I ordered my most recent so I can send back old one to be repaired. I didnt want to go without one.
Vest is great. Im 57 150 and medium is a perfect fit. Its a puffer but not at all bulky. It has a sheen but not overly slick. Vest is deceptively warm. I invent reasons to wear it. Buy now.
I returned a Nano Puff Vest for size. I purchased the new vest, XL and I am still waiting for my credit on the returned vest. The customer service rep that helped me was courteous, professional and served all my needs.
The nano vest appeared to be a high quality vest. I initially ordered a large after extensive research on suggested Sizing, which I found way to large. I then ordered a medium which I unfortunately found uncomfortably too tight in the arm openings and trunk, other than just standing still. I returned both vest.
Vest is comfortable and well made. Sizing is somewhat small for a medium vest. However, it fits well enough that Ill not go to a larger size. And, as usual, Patagonia produces a first class product. Patagonia has always been first rate.
The garment is beautiful, well finished and tailored. Everything is beautiful about it.
I did notice that the arm holes could be a tad bigger for a muscular man, and the stuffing got pulled through, probably got caught on a tree twig or branch.
My husband loved the nano puff vest - light-weight warmth in chilly house and layering for outdoors. It runs a little small but exchange was easy and very quick. Your customer service people are great.
This was a gift to my grandson. I love the Patagonia brand because I can depend on receiving an excellent product that wears well and is a perfect compliment to my grandson's casual wardrobe. If it is "Patagonia", he's always happy!. Also, thanks for the fast and efficient shipping.
We purchased this for our brother-in-law and this has become one of his mainstays. For wearing around the house, taking the dog on a walk, and just general errands--this vest is warm, insulating--but still not too hot that it becomes stifling.

Great for layering while golfing. Even in San Diego, our weather just turned cold so I wore it over a Patagonia R1 pullover.

Keep it up, and I'll continue to shop Patagonia knowing that your products will serve me well.
Nice vest! I like it a lot. I've returned a few previous models, due to problems; the fabric pilled and discolored on one, the other was due to a bad zipper. I'm hoping this is more durable.

Thanks for having the product that my husband has been looking for several years He was very excited, he wore it all Christmas Day also you have a great service department who helped me thank again for me
Man I get stoked about vests in general but this Nano Puff is mad cherry. The fit is spot on for a lanky noodle like myself and it's equally great for work or chilling. One of my favorite Patagonia purchases ever.
Fit is comfortable and fits over a base layer tech shirt and mid-layer (thinner) flannel with out feeling constricting at the chest or mid torso. Chest measurement is 48.5" with just the tech shirt on for reference. Will likely purchase another one size larger to wear over upper body protective gear.
Tried numerous other trim
fit vests, most only available in Small, and they still leave too much room and have a tubular look. This one leaves enough room for the down to be effective but is closer to a tailored fit and can be worn under coats without bunching up, generally allows for better movement. I would prefer if these were available with a t... Read Morewo way zipper though for versatility.
Its probably my own fault for being a little wider around the middle, but this vest definitely sized a little different than some of my other Patagonia vests and jackets. It is exceptionally warm and is great for layering for those really cold days.
Im 5ft 11in, 180lbs, and typically take size L in Patagonia, but wanted a snug body warmer primarily for cycling use (road/gravel) that is light, packable, and stays warm when wet. This offers all that and then some. While snug, I find no binding/restriction when layered over my cycling jersey. It also layers well over my 20-year old Patagonia flee...

Can you make this color in the womens vest? I tried the Mens XS but didn't realize how fitted they are for each gender, so had to return it. Just a suggestion! Love the mustard yellow.
Hello Courtney! The Nano Puff is the least warm and the second lightest out of our insulated vests, so we do not recommend it in temperatures below 40 (this also depends on your personal preference). If you'd like a warmer vest that is also light and can pack down, we'd recommend the Down Sweater Vest or the Micro Puff Vest.

Extremely Functional
I live in Northern California and I like to hike year-round. My challenge is that when I hike I tend to sweat, even in the winter months, so I was looking for layers that breath well yet keep me warm even if a little wet.

This combo wicks moisture away from my skin, and the zippers allow me to regulate warmth and moisture evaporation very well. I also wear this jacket is great to wear casually and find it very comfortable.
I was on the fence for a while about purchasing one of these before finally getting around to it. It has that extra warmth that you cant get with a fleece vest.
NIcely constructed but not warm at all. I was trying to find a vest to replace an old down vest for around the office and walks in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Nano Vest really didnt provide much if any warmth. Maybe if your more active, but for walking and around the office no.
Hey there, we appreciate the feedback on our Nano Puff Vest. Needs really vary from person to person, some run hot and others cold. It sounds like you may run on the colder side, and in that instance you'd want to stick to down insulation as much as possible. Down will always be able to retain more heat than synthetic insulation, but there are some perks to synthetic as well! For example, it stays warm while wet, so it's great as a technical piece. It sounds like this didn't work for what you were planning on using it for, and if that's the case, please feel free to give us a [call or chat](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) so we can discuss your options!

Perfect For All Occasions
My wife and I have had these in the past and loved the many ways we used them. They are simple, warm and good looking.
Love the product; but sadly the company more. They stand behind their items adhere to environmentally friendly processes. Most companies are wear and toss. Not Patagonia! They do not need advertising because their product quality does it for themselves. All I can say is thank you and I look forward to future business.
Bought this as Christmas gift for husband who tried on early... L is his normal size and it is perfect. Love the bright blue color and seems well made with great pockets.
I have purchased many Patagonia shirts, sweaters, jackets, etc. and have found them to run large so I normally purchase a small. I get mediums when purchasing similar clothing from other companies. I ordered a small Nano Puff vest but had to return it for a medium.
I have been using Patagonia since they were Great Pacific Iron Works. My closet is filled with their products. They make good stuff in a sensitive manner and sell it at a fair price. I have never had a problem with a Patagonia product and this vest keeps my string of satisfaction intact.
Very high quality. This vest replaces my 20 year old fleece vest. So I'm still getting used to the slight rustle this fabric makes compared to fleece. I wear it inside late fall to early spring as we keep our heat 68F/20C in the winter. I also wear it hiking in the woods, observing wildlife.

from my winter heart
I have bought two of these vests for my husband. He wears one every day- in the summer and winter in Montana, Really. He likes the light weight and the pockets. Will definitely by another this Spring
Ordered this and the Micro Puff to see which one I liked more... I went with the nano puff. Arm holes just right, and I preferred the lower pocket position. I did like the big inside pockets in the nano, but the nano was just a little off for me. Micro will be just right. The easy thin layer that adds a good amount of warmth without bulk.
I bought the green one because I loved the gray one I bought last year so much. I'm 5'11'' 170lbs I like the fit of the large but I think I medium would have been ok.
Patagonia shirts and sweaters that I have purchased run big so I bought a small vest because it is described as a regular fit. I weight 155 and normally buy medium clothes (except Patagonia).
This is the third one I have purchased and it is a spare for when one of my other Patagonia vests dies.

The construction is on par with the rest of Patagonias jackets.

Ive been wanting this one for a while and refused to buy a cheaper vest. Im not disappointed.
This is my sixth Nano Puff purchase. I liked the color.
Re the size: historically have selected a medium and I have lost ten pounds since my last purchase. This medium was too tight in the hips.

I like this jacket a lot. Light weight and perfect fit jacket. I love Patagonia products. However I love Patagonia but I am not satisfied with their customer service. They should improve their issue escalation mechanism and provide timely responses.
I travel to SE Asia 7-8 times a year... this a great travel vest for those long plane flights... plus Im a climber and mountain biker... its warm and light and eco friendly! Great job Patagonia!!
Keep up the great work!!
I use this as a base for starting out on a morning hike. When I get warm, I stuff it into the small spaces of my backpack. Paired with a Houdini windbreaker - Perfect for hiking!
Liter than the down vest and just another tool in the kit closet for days in between balmy and cool when down is too warm and a simple shirt gives the chills. I believe my clothes line is complete!
I bought this for my husband on sale for Valentines and the fit is perfect! He loves it wears it in the house or under winter coat to add extra warmth!
I ordered a size L (5-10, 185lbs) - fits well. The one measurement they don't specify in the sizing information is the circumference around the buttocks. This vest has a slight athletic fit that drops down over the buttocks and should be OK for anyone with a measurement up to ~ 43- 44". The other nice aspect of this vest is a slightly hig... Read Moreh collar. When zipped all the way up, it comes to just under the lips (may vary person to person) but compared to other vests, this collar is a 1/2 or more higher than others. The arm holes also have a slight bit of elasticity to them. Both of these features really help seal out drafts. Ultra light weight warmth without much bulk!
Lightweight vest that you can wear with anything. Got it for a gift for my spouse and he loves it. The best runs true to size. Can be worn athletically or casually. Wind resistant, breathable, warm, and comfortable.
