I had to buy a second one in the same color since I have been wearing mine daily. The first is getting a bit worn, so will be shifting to yard work attire. These vests are the perfect layering piece, wash up very well and are flattering. I also now have 3 nano puff jackets in different colors.
This is my third Patagonia vest, the second one being exactly like this one and the one before that having diamond-shaped stitching instead of boxed. I wore and wore the first one to the point of tiny holes near the zipper. Then I got the second one and have worn that for years also. Still using that one some and just started using the third. It is... Read More light in weight but adds so much in comfort. Glad they are still making it. I just wish they also still made a light weight zip up fleece like the one of those that I have worn for years too.
As with all Patagonia products, this Nano Puff vest is well made and stylish. I ordered a size large, one size larger than normal for me, because the medium that I have is slightly tight, as I've gained weight. I was surprised at how much bigger the large vest was than the medium that I have, in fact it was so large that sadly, I had to return... Read More it.
Even though I'm larger on top and smaller through the hips, this was too tight in the hips and then too large on top. Given how long it was, I knew I couldn't move up to a larger size, so I returned it.
We're sorry to hear the fit wasn't quite right on this one. You're welcome to check with the Patagonia-owned store in your region for any fit questions, returns, repairs or exchanges.

Nice and Warm
The vest is a good fit-Not to loose and keeps you warm. As always, the quality is great!
I really like my read vest. I normally fit into a medium. But I didn't want a tight fit. So I went a size up. It feels more comfortable this way and not snug. Very warm for a light vest.
When I opened this up I was laughing - it seems like it's not filled with anything, just fabric. But, remarkably - it is quite warm! It's not going to rival down or anything, but I'm excited for it to fit in with my gear on a month long trekking trip to Nepal with very limited baggage. This adds almost zero weight, and if scrunched u... Read Morep I can literally hold it in my two fists.
I love the look and the design of this vest. Zippered pockets are well thought out, elastic at the armhole lets you move. Seaming in the back gives a flattering fit. Four stars because the fit is a little too close to the body for my 65 year old body. But Ive been wearing Patagonia for 36 years and Im not going to stop now!
I have two--a winter staple with an R1 zip-neck underneath and Nano Jacket over. Love how they glide on when layering. Little details that would be great are if they came with a few extra zipper-pull tabs. Those seem to frequently break off in the washing machine, and two-way zippers. Also would love to see the Dark Ruby color from Winter '21 ... Read Morereturn, along with more neutral colors and fewer pastel colors.
A staple! Wear it all winter with an R1 shirt underneath, and Nano Puff jacket over. Love that it glides on as an underlayer. Only wish it came with a two-way zipper which I prefer as an equestrian. Would love to see it available in the Dark Ruby color of Winter '21!
Fit is great. Weight of this vest is perfect as the finishing touch to a casual outfit and also a fabulous mid-layer for added core warmth under a jacket.
I chose the small size because I have a slender build but broad shoulders. the medium size was too baggy and large around the torso. the small fit my body but is sort of tight in the arm holes. I have an athletic build and was hoping it would feel more comfortable for doing activities and for just wearing casually. I didn't recognize how tight... Read More the arm holes were until I wore the vest for a few hours. In the store it seemed to fit but once I started to move in it, it just feels a bit too small.
We're sorry to hear this vest didn't fit you properly, Carolyn. Please keep in mind you can [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) anything that doesn't work out for you.

I love Patagonia. I tried
I love Patagonia. I tried this vest and anther Patagonia vest in medium and large. The problem is they are all shaped for very curvy women. On me, they gap around the breast and arm holes. I prefer the shapes from years ago that were flatter. Can't you offer some choices? I can't wear any of your jackets or vests now.
I am 130 pounds and 69 so my middle section is larger than it used to be! That said, the Medium size is necessary to zip the vest. Yet it does not appear too large in my chest and shoulders. The navy is accented with a lovely trim. The vest is warm and comfy.
I bout the jacket too in a different color as I can wear this everyday for various reasons. It is a slim but true to size fit. I wear a small or size 4 in almost everything and this is in that category. Light and so easy to wear. Looks nice enough to wear to work. Warm for layering. I really appreciate the fit, color and warmth! - options, durabili... Read Morety.
Bought this without trying one on because I thought it would fit the same as the jacket which fit me well. It was way more snug than the jacket not allowing for layers underneath. Truly disappointed. Customer service was excellent as far as returning.
Hi Ellie, thank you for this feedback on the fit of this vest; we're sorry it was too snug! When shopping you can always reach out to our Customer Service Team, and they'll be happy to provide specific measurements so you can feel confident about the fit of your purchase. Thank you for returning it, since we want you to be happy with everything you get from us!

Pretty light pink
I have several vests in this style. Living in Maine means wearing layers much of the year. Adds a great deal of warmth. Love!
Love the Nano Puff Vest. Own more than one & just wanted to add a new color. I layer the vest over a top & under a heavier down jacket on a really cold day. Then as it warms up, I can start losing the layers. Great fit. Wish my new blue one was reversible bc the inside is a very cool kinda umbre/tie dye-ish print - that would look really co...

This is my go-to vest when I want a lightweight and easy packable layer for any event or activity. I take it on walks, hikes, travel, shopping, or out for dinner. The vest fits true to size and is comfortable to wear as an outer layer or under a jacket. Love it!
This is a little snug on me, but I still love it. A gorgeous color and very comfortable. I'm motivated to buy Patagonia's products because of the quality and their environmental practices!
This vest is very well made, with several pockets and good materials. However, the fit did not work for me. The vest continually rode up, and seemed to be too loose around the arm holes. The stretchy darts on the sides of the chest area also seemed to be part of the problem.
Hey Linda, thanks for the review. We're sorry to hear that the fit on this vest is not working for you. We advise checking out the [Women's Down Sweater Vest](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-down-sweater-vest/84629.html?dwvar_84629_color=BLK) as an alternative.

I am short waisted
Patagonia, the reason this vest doesn't work for me is because I am short waisted and should take a small but because I am a landscape gardener I am constantly reaching in one direction or another, up to prune semi-dwarf apple trees, down to weed or get something off the ground, outwards to pull a cart full of redwood chips...I need more flexi...

quality not as good as previous vests I've purchased
The vest runs small and is a very snug fit. I have several others that are a medium and they fit fine. The fabric is not the same quality as the other vests either.

Fabulous vest
Once again Patagonia did not disappoint. The vest is perfect for biking in Florida in the winter. Simply love it!
I just love this vest. I could have went with a small also, but wasn't sure what I wanted to wear with it so opted for the medium and it is a little roomy.
Unfortunately I only gave this three stars as it is very unflattering on me. I have a pear shape figure and it is not always an easy shape to find a good fit ie. in an a-line dress I easily fit a size 4, and jeans always a 6. This jacket barley fits over my hip area (could probably use a bigger size here) YET it is too roomy in the bust (I am an A ... Read Morecup) so in summary not entirely flattering. This is of course the drawback to online shopping, had I tried it on in a shop I probably wouldn't have purchased it. Saying that....
It is extremely practical though and so is getting a lot of use! I get very cold very easily especially across the shoulders and neck as soon as there is any draft. This jacket is super light and folds up tiny, easily shoved into a backpack or even handbag. I also use it to sneak as an under layer when wearing something smarter. I had to attend a dressier occasion where I wore a dress, boots and jacket. I wore it under my jacket, with a scarf covering the neck line. As it is thin it is not at all bulky and I was very grateful for the warm layer.
I would therefore recommend it to a friend who needed a light, yet warm extra layer that can fold up tiny and travel wherever you go when not needed.
Much thinner than past nano puff, fit is tight in waist.
I'm so disappointed in this vest. I have a nano puff jacket from a few years ago that I absolutely love, so decided to get the vest. I ordered the same size as my jacket (which fits perfectly), and the waist is SO tight.
Why has the waist gotten so tight in Patagonia with the latest styles? Apparently women with relatively normal hips are not... Read More the model size.
Also, I know this is Patagonia's thinnest fill and the whole thing about the nano puff is being thin but somewhat warm, but it's probably half the thickness of my nano puff jacket. Literally some of the baffled sections don't seem to have any fill at all, it's just 2 layers of thin fabric. Honestly it seems cheap (which it's not, obviously).
Big disappointment. I've been buying the brand for 20+ years but unfortunately end up returning most things any more.
Hi Lucy, thank you for sharing your experience with the Nano Puff Vest. We're so sorry this fit wasn't good for you! And while the vest is thin, it should be warm for its weight. In any case, we're glad to see you're returning a product that wasn't going to make you happy. Please reach out to us if we can help you find something that will work better for you!
I love and own so much Patagonia gear, but the sizing frustrates me. I wear a medium in all other clothing brands but have to buy an extra large in Patagonia because they run so small.
I was really excited to see this vest on sale. I'm always a M in Patagonia tops. However, this vest had such a weird fit - very large in the chest and slim in the hips, like it was designed for a Barbie doll! It's noticeably loose in the chest and I'm not flat chested!

Nice sleek vest, could use some small improvements
This is sleek and nice looking. I appreciate the easy maintenance synthetic. It does run small. I'm a large in Patagonia fleece and could barely zip up the large in this - size up! My main quibble (a minor one) is that the shoulders are cut too far in. I think it gives the shoulder a weirdly puffy look. If the shoulders could come out about 1&...

Very comfortable keeps me warm enough if Im wearing a long sleeved top
when buying Patagonia tops and jackets, fleeces etc I alway have to buy large. In all other brands I wear a small top and a medium jacket. The large in Patagonia wear is just a little to big but a medium just doesnt feel comfortable.
We appreciate your feedback, Patti! The Nano Puff Vest is a regular fit style, while other may be slim or relaxed which could affect which size feels best, depending on layers.
BUT, the large was too small. I must be between L and XL because I have other Patagonia jackets/vests in Large that fit perfectly. The vest is warm but not bulky - very comfortable!

The Nanopuff without sleeves
I always have to size up in women's tops at Patagonia and I am a very average-sized 5'7" female. But their tops run small. I loved my nano puff jacket and thought I would go for the vest as a way to layer on cold ski days. It is great for that! It is so warm and also an easy way for me to look professional at work.
This was a fab vest, but had to return as it is not made for a curvy figure. Too bad. I found another thats Polar fleece thats better, but they definitely cater to taller torsos and narrower hips.
Hey Maura, thanks for the review. We're sorry to hear that you ultimately sent this vest back, we'll share your feedback on fit with our product team.

Light weight and warm
I bought this to wear at home and for outside. When it's very cold out the vest is perfect around the house because it's lighter than a sweater or sweatshirt but keeps the chill away. The same can be said for the outside- a nice extra layer without bulk. I am between xs and s and in this vest the small felt more comfortable with enough ro...

Great all around vest!
This is a perfect mid layer piece. It keeps you just warm enough for those cool but not cold days. It's light and packable; great for traveling or throwing into your day pack.
This lightweight vest is perfect for when it is a bit too warm for my Nano Puff but too cool for no jacket at all. Zip pockets are conveniently located and deep enough to be useful. I love the blue color, too. 5 stars all the way.
Love the vest. I bought it as a gift for a friend who would normally wear a large and while it fit, it didn't allow room for a long sleeve shirt or sweater underneath. Returned the large and got x-large. Very happy with purchase.
Had to return...too tight and no give in the belly.
I ordered the XL and XXL vests, and had to return both. Love Patagonia and everything they stand for, but wish some of the sizing had more "give" the XL was simply too tight on my Winnie-the-Poo shaped torso and then the XL was way too large. If the XL (which I have in other vests) just was a hair larger or there was a bit of stretch buil... Read Moret in to the sides, it would have been perfect. Having that 1-2" variability would likely help a lot of other people too. As it is, this cut is very straight and not great for stockier builds.
I tragically lost my trusted nanopuff vest and ordered this one as a replacement. I was sorely disappointed in it. I ordered a size larger than usual as my small nano puff jackets have been feeling a little snug around my hips. With this vest being a little longer, I thought I should have allow myself a little extra room. For the record, I'm 5... Read More'6 and athletic. I wear a 27 or 28 inch waist pants and am generally a size 6 is most clothing brands.
The fit was awful! The hips were still a little snug, and the chest was HUGE. Why would you do this Patagonia? Why are active women not even allowed to have a little bit of hips? And, why would my chest be two or three times the size of a small?
Returning and looking elsewhere for a replacement vest (while still remaining hopeful my old one miraculously appears).

Perfect fit over my hips.
Perfect fit over my hips. Love the color. Goes well with my puffer jacket of the same color when days are much cooler.?
I like this and have one in a different color. It dresses up my very casual pants and top.
I expected both to be a bit thicker, but since I now live in SoCal, they work well!

I love the color. It keeps my core warm. The style allows me to dress it up for work and also dress it down for casual wear. I love the feel of the material, and it is so lightweight I forget I have it on. With that said, I hope I don't gain any weight as it fits snuggly around the waist, but I still highly recommend this vest.
Love the nano-puff stuff, and own a lot in black. The wavy color is the draw for me in ordering another! My new favorite color in an old favorite design. Bought the sweatshirt in wavy to match!
The vest is very nice. Its fit is a bit tight on me. I own several items by Patagonia, jackets, vests and all of them are size M and all are more roomy.

The Vest given for my mother due to cold weather and she was very comfortable wearing it
I am petite and curvy. I purchased a size small. The length is fine but ches fits snugg but not too snugg. I am going to keep it. I especially like that I stay warm and dont feel like a puffed-up marshmallow.
Worst purchase ever. Warm is the first word in the item description. Its not! I dont think there is any filling. Its like two ply polyester. That is it! Can only wear it under something which makes it not worth the money!
Hey Denise, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that this vest is not cutting it for your needs. The Nano Puff Vest does have 60-g of PrimaLoft Gold Insulation Eco 100% postconsumer recycled polyester with P.U.R.E. We recommend always checking out the "Specs & Features" tab on the product page to give you an idea of what to expect with a product. It sounds like you might be living and playing in cold conditions, where the Nano Puff would not suffice. We're happy to have a conversation to figure out how you were planning on using the vest to help you find a better fit for your needs. Perhaps the [Women's Bivy Hooded Vest](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-bivy-hooded-vest/27747.html?dwvar_27747_color=NESB&cgid=root) would be a better match.

Great vest!
Lightweight, warm, easy care, great style and fit: another excellent Patagonia product. Got the Wavy Blue, love the color - much better in person than it looks online.
I usually wear a Patagonia medium, but this medium felt a little too small on my shoulders and hips - better for someone with a narrower frame. The next size up was way too large. I sadly ended up returning it.
vest is soft and warm and easily layers under or over other layers. zip pockets are roomy. folds down small for packing. I had to size up because I have a deformed back. 5'1" 105 pounds would normally wear a small or small.
I love the colors (I purchased the beautiful wavy blue) and the overall feel of this vest--warm, but light. It fits me great in the shoulders, chest & waist, but I need another inch or two to make this comfortable around the hips. Wish I were a guy, or a woman with no hips--then I could wear this otherwise very cute vest. Sending it back.
I was hoping to replace my old puffy down vest, so was surprised by how thin this is. I don't usually buy XS, but did after following the sizing guide. It was too small in the hips, where I am usually too small, put perfect in the shoulders where I am usually too large. I had to return it, though it looks very beautiful.
Love this product and all the nano filled vests and puff jackets. I have 5 different colors. Love that they pack into a pocket. Fit is small, especially at the hips.
Thank you for submitting this review, Barbara; we appreciate this feedback! We're sorry this vest didn't fit comfortably. We're working on expanding our size offerings, and we will share this feedback with our product designers. We're glad to see you've returned something that wasn't going to make you happy, and we hope we can do better by you in the future!

Comfortable
This vest is great if you need a little extra warmth. My son bought me one last year and I wear it so much I decided to get another color. I wear it playing beach volleyball in the winter and/or out and about.
I love, love, love this vest! I actually own 4 of them in different beautiful colors. It's super versatile. If I want to take it off while skiing or hiking it will stuff in a pocket. It is also attractive to wear. I must admit I'm a vest junkie!
Hi Samantha! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're sorry to hear about the disappointment with the amount of warmth the vest provides. It's not the warmest vest we have to offer and it's meant to be worn with further layers in colder temperatures.

Great, classic Patagonia style
I've had one of these for a decade. Tried lots of others in an attempt to add to my wardrobe. Nothing was right, so I went back to the ideal vest and was thrilled to see it was still in the product line up! So many vests are the puffy style right now; not this one and I know it will last and look good for a long time.
This vest fits perfectly. It keeps me warm. I appreciate the woman's body fit. I love the color. It is perfect for my needs. It is sculpted enough to wear under a warmer jacket, yet it keeps my core toasty warm without. I like the trim at the shoulders helps keep breezes winds out.
This vest is light and so comfortable. I live in Michigan and basically wear it every day from November to March, both indoors and outdoors! If I'm going outside I just throw a coat over it!
I bought this to replace a cheap vest from a different brand. I like this one better than my old one because the Nano Puffness is not too puffy and it doesn't feel bulky. Good worn over a flannel. It's a little loose in the chest for me, but that means I can probably wear it over something thicker.
The fit is a bit snug and long - A two-way zipper would help at the hips vs an interior chest pocket I will never use. The fit from a couple of years ago on jackets/coats/vests worked much better for me.

Perfect vest for everyday activities and outdoor pursuits. Comfy and warm but not too much. At 5 ft 3 in I find the length a tad long.
Its 3 inches longer than my older vests and is more fitted. I prefer my shorter less contoured old vests. The same is true for the jackets!

Hey Susan, thank you for the feedback. We'll share your thoughts on petite sizing with the product team. The Nano Puff Vest definitely works best in moderately cool temperatures. A good general rule of thumb is that down will be warmer than synthetic options, but it will not retain warmth when wet like synthetic insulation can. If you're interested in a down alternative, we recommend checking out the [Down Sweater Vest](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-down-sweater-vest/84629.html?dwvar_84629_color=DUBN).

Patagonia rarely disappoints.
I originally bought this in white. It was like BRIGHT PAPER WHITE. Hurt my eyes. Easy exchange. Back to black. Patagonia products (for the most part) last forever. Big fan.
I own two of these, both size medium, one with this fit and one in the previous diamond quilted pattern. As an hourglass shape gal I appreciate two way zippers for comfort around my hips. I am athletic, 5 5, 155 lbs. 43 years old. I own just about everything Patagonia makes in their most popular pieces. My only complaint is a two way zipper, otherw... Read Moreise this is my go to piece for just about everything. Please Patagonia consider a two-way zipper!
I love this vest! A perfect layering piece. Like others have commented, however, if you have a curvy chest or hips, I would definitely size up. I have large hips and chest, and the vest is tight in both areas, but fine in the waist. Other than that, I adore mine!
This is a great vest however it needs to be made with a two way zipper. I had to get a large to accommodate my hips but the the bust and shoulders are a little to large.
I have owned a nanopuff jacket for several years and it's my favorite coat for winter. With cooler temps approaching I was in the market for a new vest, and ordered this during the recent sale. I can wear both S and M depending on the item and the desired fit, and bought this in M so I can wear it over a thick hoodie or sweater. I love the lig... Read Moreht weight of the nanopuff products -- and this one is a gorgeous blue.
I am not a vest person but I have hardly had a day when I have not worn this. I live in a place with a wide swing in daily temperature and this is a perfect layer, both indoors and out. It is so light you don't know you are wearing it. No suggestions for improvement - maybe more colors?
Third time purchasing this vest, only because I wear it 24/7 almost 10 months of the year. Lightweight, fits easily as layer under whatever you want, never stinks, washes perfectly, tough as anything, best vest ever. I am 5ft8/135 lbs and medium fits perfectly. Loose enough to layer under, but sits close enough to body so doesnt snag or feel too pu... Read Moreffy. Amazingly warm. Windproof and water resistant. Will not keep you dry in solid rain, but great to repel snow. Absolutely no complaints.
Fit, color and overall look are great. Will wait till we get thru thus hot summer before I get to wear it, but I know it will work well for our late October trip to CO to hike.
Love these vests. May run a little small but I like it a little roomy so I go for the medium which is the perfect size for me. I like to wear a light sweater or shirt underneath.

Amazing fit, perfect athleisure wear
I love wearing this vest for morning walks and daily errands. Great for SF microclimates.
There is exactly one thing I do not like about this vest: unlike the micro-puff vests, which had (note "had" -- they've been dc'd, apparently) there are NO interior pockets at all, not a small useless zippered one, not two large highly functional ones. There are just the two hand pockets. If you don't wan't an interior... Read More pocket for snacks and iPhones..., then this is a perfectly great jacket for you.
Hi Elsie! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're very sorry for the disappointment with the lack of interior pockets. Feedback like this is crucial to improving products for future seasons. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Versatile Vest
Wore this climbing early in the morning and then out to dinner. Comfortable, warm, and packs down well. As always Patagonia durable so it will last forever.
This is a great vest. Fits so well and good quality. I have it in other colors and the pink simply wasn't a good color on me. Waiting for more colors to come out. I love Patagonia products!
Looking forwards to experimenting with this vest layer when cooler temperatures arrive. Fits like a glove. Hope it will travel lighter than a jacket w sleeves.
First of all, the fit is true to the size, so please purchase the size you usually wear, and you will feel the magic of Patagonia!!
Well done, beautiful white, the pockets and zippers are what you expect in a quality vest like this
Gorgeous, rich color (dark ruby) that pairs well. Tailored, flattering fit. Ultralight but still warm. Pockets are well placed and spacious. The only negative is the collar, which is not lined and will show the slightest grease from even a few times of wearing. Same problem as observed for the Nanopuff jacket; the collar there is also not lined. Ot... Read Moreherwise, it's perfect and very pleasant to wear.
I like this vest as a good light layer but I ordered the Large which usually fits me well however I had to exchange for a XL because the waist fit small on the L. Got the XL but the upper part around the arms now fits too large. I will still use it but it does not fit as I had expected.
Hey Penny, thank you for the review. We're sorry to hear that it sounds like you fall between sizes with this particular product. We'd like to mention that we're happy to provide garment measurements if you ever need them, you'll just want to reach out to [customer service](https://help.patagonia.com/s/).

Great product, just wish it came in curvy sizes
I love this vest so much (it's great for traveling since it's lightweight and compact), but wish the sizing were more inclusive. I'm petite with curves so I had to size up to an XL. Going up a size made it possible for me to zip the vest up, but now the vest is too long overall and gapes a bit at the shoulders. I'll still wear i... Read Moret but it's a bit awkward. Sigh.
We appreciate your feedback and we're sorry the fit isn't better for you. You might try our [Nano-Air Vest](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-nano-air-vest/84277.html) which is "slim" fit but has stretch in the fabric. In addition, you may find a different vest that is a better fit when our Fall 2022 product is released. If so, you can trade your Nano Puff to Worn Wear for some credit! Please reach out to our Customer Service team if you have any questions. We'll be happy to guide you.

Super Versatile
I love this vest! It works with casual attire and work attire. it is cozy and yet light weight and totally classy!
Thank you for submitting this review, Theresa. We're sorry this vest wasn't what you were looking for, but happy to see you've been able to return it. You might like to check out our [Women's Down Sweater Vest](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-down-sweater-vest/84628.html?dwvar_84628_color=CNY), which has a little more loft to it, though it's still very light. Please let us know if we can be of any help!
