I pack my nano vest in my carry-on bag when I fly. It has been a pillow, a lumbar support and a toasty vest on a cold overnight flight. Great under a blazer or over a tee shirt in your hotel room. It is my most versatile piece of clothing. It does everything but turn on the coffee maker!
This jacket will keep you warm in all weather in the BayArea and it is so compact that it is my everyday day. The price is excellent especially if you get it half price which I always do but the product is worth every penny of it even at its regular price
I have been wearing Patagonia products for >30 years, and have spent thousands of dollars on Patagonia apparel, from socks and caps to parka 'systems'.
I have loved my Patagonia down vest for going-on 10 years, but unfortunately it's nearing replacement time.
I got greedy and cheaped out on a Web Special version of this Nano P... Read Moreuff (?) vest. My disappointment is immense. It's like wearing a scrap of nylon.
Remember kids: You get what you pay for. Cheap becomes expensive.

Got it for my partner
Got it for my partner for St Valentine. He likes it and wore it a bunch. Used to a bit thicker feel of a west and lacking a breast pocket or two per my partner. Overall is a nice functional piece.
I like this vest a lot, its just a bit snug for what I usually get when I order XXL it'll just be an excuse to shed a few pounds to get the fit I like.
I have 2 of these vests. Very light and warm! The inside zippered pocket is great. Wish the hooded jackets had these inside zippered pockets. I also own 2 nano puff jackets.
I can wear a hoodie, this vest, AND my hooded Nano Puff jacket (also a large). This is great for layers as I was hopping this would all fit. Even with my beer belly...ha ha. Seriously light weight, packs small, and warm for a small light vest. I love absolutely it! Great for quick walks with the dog, hiking, chopping wood...anything!
The nano puff vest has become a staple piece of shoulder season running gear for me. All in all, theres little to nothing I would change about it that wouldnt be hyper specific to running. The only general design aspect I believe could be improved upon is how the collar lays in the zipper area. I also frequently wear the down sweater, which is stit... Read Moreched in such a way that the collar wants to flare open as its unzipped. I believe something like this would greatly benefit the overall user experience of the already great nano puff vest, as Ive found the collar wants to collapse in under the chin and into the throat area of the user. That being said, the piece as a whole performs wonderfully, and I look forward to putting many more miles on it.
This vest is perfect for a casual look and comfortable fit. It is light, yet warm, and the vest does not feel overly bulky like others I have owned. I would definitely buy another Patagonia Nano Puff vest.
First, I have a nano puff jacket which I love. The usual Patagonia high quality and great style. It fits perfectly. I bought the nano puff vest to wear as a mid layer for skiing. I have no doubt it would work well for this however it is so tight across the belly, I can not wear it comfortably. I am a 5 foot 9, 165 lbs guy, I have a standard, relati... Read Morevely athletic dad body. Not sure why the jacket fits but not the best.
Hey Craig, thanks for the review. That is odd they didn't both work considering they're both a regular fit. We double checked on the garment measurements though and it does look like the vest runs slightly smaller, overall by about half an inch with the garment laying flat. If you need garment measurements in the future, please reach out to customer service and we'd be happy to provide those to you. We think a size up should solve this issue for you, to begin an exchange, click [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Warm
Great vest! Bought a medium at first which is my normal size but it was too small! Exchanged for a large and this fits perfectly !
Perfect example of Patagonia quality, style and functionality... definitely supports the important "layers" approach to outdoor wear... tou won't be disappointed...
This was a replacement purchase of same style but different color and size. I purchased with same style long sleeve, in gold. The combination is great for changing weather patterns.
I am generally a fan of Patagonias designs, and have another of their vests that I like very much. I wanted a puffer vest and bought this one and one from a competitor. The fit was just fine. When I had them side by side, the quality of this vest felt inferior for the same price. It was thinner than I wanted and the material didnt give me confidenc... Read Moree that it would stand the test of time and wear. This one went back, but Ill keep coming to Patagonia for other items.
Hi Jeffrey! Thank you for writing us a review. We're really sorry to hear about the disapointment with the vest. Our Nano Puff isn't the warmest vest we offer so it's better suited for Spring and Fall weather. If worn in the Winter we encourage our customers to use it as a layering piece. If you're interested in a warmer options we'd suggest our [Men's Down Sweater Vest](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-down-sweater-vest/84623.html?dwvar_84623_color=APBL&cgid=root).

Great for Tavel!
Excellent layer around the house and travel. Great color, fit, warm and easy to pack.
Bought my husband a Nano Air Jacket about 15 years ago. He still wears it regularly, he loves it! Went back for this vest, and we were so happy to find it. He prefers the Nano Air without all of the vertical stitching and the shiny finish. This one was not perfect, but worked out for him. I also bought him 3 new Nano Air jackets, 2 black and one gr... Read Moreeen so he has some variety! I wear the Nano Air jacket and vest as well, and I love them. I wish that the jackets were LONGER for women, I sized up for length. The warmth of the patagonia jackets without all the bulk is our favorite feature!
I held back on ordering this, just not a vest guy really, but when they were on sale I snagged one and so glad I did. It's super lightweight and perfectly warm, especially under a jacket on blustery days. All of this while feeling soft, looking great and seems durable. I love it!
I just bought a second color after buying my first nano puff vest and kept wearing day after day. Its a perfect piece to keep you warm and yet not to warm compared to wearing a long sleeve nano puff pull over. I first thought it was to tight but actually fits perfectly with a trim fit and no problem with hindering movement while riding my bike or g... Read Moreolfing. I wear a medium with being 5 ft/8in and weighing 160lb.
This fit as expected. Perfect for work and fits well under a coat on chillier days. Bought for my husband who has somewhat broad shoulders & it fit perfectly.
This is the second nano puff vest I have purchased. I went for a bold color to go with my basic black one. Gives me more plans just more fun. This is my favorite thing to wear. It goes with me everywhere.
I thought the XL would fit as I had an xxl from another brand of vest and it was too big. I think the xxl would be better for me in this brand. Great best though. Would recommend in highly.
Living in Whitefish Montana a warm vest is often needed whether working or layering during ski sessions or mountain peak bagging during summer. As a Patagonia Books Ambassador I give countless presentations on Path of the Puma and wildlife habitat conservation and this is my working "ride for the brand" uniform when I speak. Jim Williams....

This is my second Nano Vest. It seems to fit a tad snugger than the previous version I ordered (I ordered both a size S) but it could just be the older one is stretched and worn. Does have a more tapered look to it than my pervious. If re-ordered I would probably size up to a M but love this vest for the weight and size and warmth it provides!
Very comfortable/warm, a great packable travel item
I purchased the nano puff jacket ( Tidepool Blue) and wore it on a recent trip to Europe, (Jan 2023) it was all I needed in Vienna, Prague, Budapest, and Salzberg. When I got back, I had to get the same nano puff vest in the same color (Tidepool Blue).
We're sorry to hear that this vest is fitting smaller than previous purchases. We did some revisions for it in Fall 2020, but the changes focused on earth-friendly materials rather than sizing. We'll be happy to assist with a return or exchange and will reach out to you by email. Thanks for taking the time to review it, Jason!

Great mid layer
This is a wonderful mid layer.
It keeps your core warm while allowing excess heat to dissipate via your arms and arm pits. While not quite as warm as natural down, the ability to get it a little wet without loosing its heat trapping capability is worth the trade off.
Cheers!
This vest hits the spot for exactly what a vest should be. It's super light, warm, packable, and still looks sharp over a flannel or henley. Seems durable enough to last a good while.
Hi Larry, we're sorry this vest didn't fit you well! The Nano Puff Vest is actually designed with a Regular Fit, but it sounds like this was still not right for your needs. Please feel free to start your [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) at any time as we want all of our customers to be completely satisfied with their Patagonia products.

Great vest!
Love this vest. Have been wanting it for awhile and finally jumped on the winter sale deal. Fit is a little small compared to my nano puff hoody, but it still fits. Im 6 feet tall and around 220. Keeps my core warm while letting everything else breathe. Love it and glad I finally got it.
Patagonia offers variety of garments well designed for men and women. I have purchased Nano Jacket and vest. Jacket is true to size whereas vest runs little bit smaller. I would strongly recommend Patagonia for anyone looking for well made garments all year around.
This is a great piece for core warmth here in southern TN. It goes well either by itself or under a jacket and is not bulky when layered. Very happy with the purchase.
this was a gift for my husband--5'7" 185lbs...he is always cold ...he is so happy with his nano vest...wears it to dinner like a dinner jacket...I purchased another for him and while I was at it one for me too...we love the company and the products
I love this vest, I have wanted one for quite some time. I got it to layer under shirts and jackets for every day wear, summer hiking and fly fishing in the cooler months. I am normally an L (long) at Patagonia (and other manufacturers), but the waste could probably use another inch to be perfect (for me). It is a little snug but just around the bo... Read Morettom (part of that could be me, but still L is normally my size..). I am going to stick with it, (it reminds me to slim down a little), as an XL would be to big for me. Other than that, it is everything I wanted it to be. Thanks!
This is my third nano puff vest, the functionality and warmth provided makes this vest one of the best ones you can buy. It stows away easily in a backpack, they are by far one of my favorites.
This vest is your standard feel of polyester material on the outside and is 100% recycled content on the shell. The fit of the body was good (not loose and not tight). However, the vest was short and most shirts I wear show below the bottom of the vest. For reference, I ordered a size large and I am 6'1" 200 lbs (athletic build). I also w...

I love my nano puff vests of old, but the fit of this most recent is not the same - I probably will not buy again and it kills me becuase I wear my old ones 5 of 7 days per week!

We ordered this vest in "navy blue" for our son for Christmas. He loves everything about this vest & he wears it all the time when he goes out. He has now ordered this same vest in "black" & "gray".
My husband didn't like the original color I had purchased because the zipper color was different (gray) from the color of the vest itself (blue) so I traded it for a different shade of blue. The exchange process was seamless and they processed it so quickly--excellent customer service. I also love the fact that they don't use oversized bo... Read Morexes from a sustainability standpoint. I will definitely purchase from Patagonia again.
A gift for my son to layer during long school days and nights camping. He loves the warmth, minimalist style, and comfort. He is especially pleased to have a hypoallergenic down alternative.
I am pretty thin (130lbs) and this fits snug....so if you generally wear a small and you are much bigger than me you'll want a medium. Nice vest. Great Patagonia quality.
I work this everyday we hiked in Zion National Park in Utah. We went mid January. This nanopuff vest along with the coat offered extraordinary warmth with the bulk witch is SO important when hiking! I highly recommend this product.
Warmth without the weight! Fit is true to size. Perfect for all outdoor activities. I love to support the sustainability of Patagonia. I highly recommend their products.
Ive tried numerous vests over the years. Some are too bulky, some too thin, but the Patagonia is honestly perfect. Just the right weight to give warmth without sacrificing flexibility.
This is my second Nano Puff vest from Patagonia. It's lightweight, packs small, and provides the perfect level of warmth, despite the thickness. It's a great vest.
I bought this vest for my husband to run in. We live in California, and I wanted him to have some thing, light weight, good quality, and warm enough but breathable.

Read Moreves it so much he didn't even want to wear it for running because it it was too nice! Super versatile as he can wear casually and to work as well.
My husband needed a bit more warmth than he was getting with a hooded sweatshirt on our daily morning walks. This has been perfect and he hardly takes it off.
Great mid layer under a shell for alpine skiing, great outer layer for light hiking on cool days. Without a shell its thermal benefits are limited, similar to a sweatshirt. Very comfortable.
I bought this vest for my son, who lives near Alta UT and skis constantly. I decided on Patagonia because of its reputation and reliability to deliver what it promises. He has been using it for the past 3 week and states it is perfect!
Bought this vest for my husband for Christmas and he wears it all the time both around the house and out. The fit is perfect and the color combo is really nice, navy blue with tan contrast zipper. Love it!
I have wanted this vest for years and my wife surprised me with this for Christmas. The size and length are perfect and the thickness is just right. I have worn it multiple times already.
Got this vest for my husband to wear around casually. The delivery was incredibly fast. The vest itself is outstanding quality. However! It is so long. My husband is 5'10 and the vest was mid-butt on him. Keep that in mind when ordering.
Basically I haven't taken the vest since I got it. I love it. Great to have a size L fit my 6 foot 2 body as it should. Great look, great pockets, would highly recommend as part of your layering system.
Excellent, except for the zipper. My best to serve me well for the past three years and I use it quite a bit so the zipper is a little bit worn out and hard to fasten properly. The same thing happened with a heavier duty vest from Patagonia that preceded this nano vest. Id love to return them both to the company and replace them with a more durable... Read More zipper.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review and we are very sorry to hear about the zipper issues you've encountered. Please know you are always welcome to send your Patagonia items for [repair](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) so we can get those zippers fixed for you.

Comfy as expected
This vest fits well. Im 6 ft 1 in athletic build with broad shoulders and I purchased an XL
I absolutely love this vest. The fit is great and the weight is perfect as well. I wear it with wool layers and it's just right for most outdoor activity in 35F+ temperatures. It makes me wish I had the full-sleeve Nano-puff jacket for days when I need something more...for now, though, it's my preferred outer layer.
This nano vest is the perfect lightweight layer to use over a flannel shirt. Then under a heavier jacket. Its very comfortable and looks great. Well worth the price and the quality is top notch.
So this is my favorite casual vest for ath-leisure wear. If you are normal build (not skinny) then I would go with your normal shirt size. I wear large shirts so a large fits best.
The essential Alaska mid-layer for a broad range of conditions
Whether it is in the pack for a summer mountain hike, over a sweater any time of year, or under a parka while winter camping, this vest extends comfort across all temperatures and seasons in Alaska.
Having been used to wearing the XL better sweater fleece vests it was surprising when this one felt so snug around the waist. I love the way vest looks though and it is better in the wind/rain than the fleece version, so I ordered another one in XXL so that it would fit more comfortably while sitting.
I have prior experience with this vest in another color. It is thin, light and warm. It is useful in 3 of our 4 seasons. It packs into almost no space. Nice pockets. Just a consistent, dependable vest that fits nicely over a base layer and under a shell. My bet is that most folks already know all this!
Years ago I bought my first vest to use hiking. I was amazed by its versatility. I have bought two more since my first purchase and recommend the vest to all my friends.
Hey Matt, thanks for the review. Our Nano Puff Vest actually uses synthetic insulation, so there is no down included. If you were looking for a down alternative, we recommend checking out the [Men's Down Sweater Vest](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-down-sweater-vest/84623.html?dwvar_84623_color=NENA).

It's a replacement for an older Patagonia vest.
So far, so good...ask again in a few months.
I have owned the nano puff vest and nano puff hoodie for several years.
They are both comfortable for three season wear here in Montana.
Both have gone through many washes with almost no sign of wear.
The vest is quite stylish for country casual. I feel comfortable wearing it anywhere with jeans and a flannel shirt !
Hey Jessica, thanks for the review. You're correct that the Nano Puff Vest is thin and lightweight, but it still provides a substantial amount of warmth! It works well with a layering system, but it does have synthetic insulation. If you were wanting something similar but warmer and thicker, we recommend checking out the [Men's Down Sweater Vest](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-down-sweater-vest/84623.html?dwvar_84623_color=APBL).

Short in length
Loved this vest, but ran shorter than any of the other vests we own from Patagonia. Wish it was 2 inches longer in the torso. Returned it because it hit the waist at awkward spot.
We appreciate your feedback and we're sorry to hear about the difference in length for this vest compared to previous products. We'll reach out to you by email with some additional help. Thanks for the review, Jen!

Runs small
Virtually all of my clothing is in a size medium, including a Nano Puff vest that is 2-3 years old. So I ordered a new Nano Puff in a size medium, and it's definitely smaller with a tighter fit than my other Nano Puff. Why the inconsistent sizing???
We're sorry to hear about the sizing on this one, as we haven't made any changes to the cut on our Nano Puff Vest in recent years. You're welcome to return it to a Patagonia-owned retail store location or to our service center under our [Ironclad Guarantee](https://help.patagonia.com/s/article/Ironclad-Guarantee). We'll be happy to help!

Great for fall and spring cold
Works great in winter as inside layer. Always a fan of nano puff jacket. Light weight and easy to pack.
This is my second name puff vest. Great fit, weight and warmth for where I live in the Smokies. Also wear it in Athens Ga in the winter months. Looks great on and comes in fun colors. The best likecall Patagonia gear.
The nano puff vest is fine if you are looking for a way to jazz up your wardrobe. It does not add much warmth as it is very thin and more of a shell/clothing piece than a vest to provide warmth/insulation. I also found that it runs a little smaller than most Patagonia jackets and vests.
