Voluntary Recall of Certain 50+ UPF StylesFree Shipping On Orders Over $49*
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 love the versatility of this vest. Lightweight, easy to pack, and excellent temperature control. I use it to do just about everything.
Thank you Patagonia for being such a customer service oriented company and most importantly socially conscience
Hey Patagonia please list the chest measurements on all shirts and weather or not the fabric has stretch. Answers to these questions for this one: No give in the fabric, so don't plan on too much stretch. Warm but not poofy which is nice. My biggest body part is my chest, I am a 40DD so it fits just barely over my chest. I can zip it up but I ... Read Moredon't want to gain a pound. As with most clothes the rest is a bit tent like. The vest is longer than my frame needs. I wish American sizes were based on actual measurements. I think that would make things more inclusive. I am a curvy woman and I like this vest for layering.
Hi Rene, thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We truly appreciate this feedback regarding adding the chest measurement in every item description. Don't hesitate to [contact us](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) in the future as we're happy to find that info for you.

Nice light weight vest
First off, the blue is gorgeous. It really is stunning. The vest is lightweight but keeps you warm. Definitely lighter weight than the down sweaters.
I absolutely loved the vest but unfortunately had to return it since it was too long. It would be nice if Patagonia would make their items in petite sizes.
I was looking for something lighter than my down vest to wear in the spring weather. I bought a nano vest a few years ago and they have definitely changed the fit. The small fits true to size where as my other one is a medium. I am a true small size person. I love the dark blue color. I know that I will get a lot of use out of this.
Love this vest! I had wanted a better puffy vest than the old, unbranded one I had been using from Goodwill these last several years- it just didnt have good insulating power. But this, oh baby! Its perfect. Great to layer and keep toasty in the cold, or to toss over a long sleeve on those its spring but not that warm days. Great packability for ca... Read Moremping as well. Glad I made the investment.
This vest is perfect for Michigan weather. So light weight but just the right about of warm for a chilly morning or evening. Easy to pack for a week-end away.
This is a great layer under a ski shell. I ordered a small and is a little big in the chest area. Im a 34A and there is plenty of room for anyone who is a B or C. Like how light it is and definitely keeps me warm on the slopes.
Zippered inside breast pocket big enough for your phone! Yes! Thank you. Zippered side pockets big enough for hands, YES!
High zippered collar is perfect for windy mornings. Love this vest
I love this vest. It fits great , it looks great, and I love the color. Perfect weight for me. Its the 4th Nano puff vest I own. Every one should have at least one.
The feather like feel makes it easy to grab and wear when heading outdoors to be in nature. I am happy I waited for it, the size was on back order for a few months but it was worth the wait! I didnt want a vest that felt too snugged, so I ordered up a size. Thank you for my first Patagonia purchase and I know not my last!
I have the same Nano Vest in black I purchased a few years ago and because it was a great product I decided to get a new one in a different color.

Thanks for letting us know Tanja! This sounds like you got a defective item. Please reach out to our customer service team to get a replacement set up.
I wear this vest daily! It suits so many variables and is super lightweight and warm. I can wear it over different tops and under my shell when needed. It's really perfect for so many situations.
We're so sorry that the Nano Puff® Vest wasn't what you expected. It's a pretty thin mid-layer which can be fluffed a bit by running it through a tumble dryer on low with a few dryer balls. A vest you may find more suitable is our [Micro Puff® Vest](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-micro-puff-vest/84090.html).

Perfect for gardening
Jackets and sweaters get too warm. Their sleeves will sometimes get caught on the plants, causing damage. This vest is just the right amount of warm and plant friendly.
The fit is very feminine, I love to wear it casually during the day or going out at night. And its nice and slim to wear under my ski jacket and its super warm when I need it! This is the second color I have purchased, and there will probably be another one in my closet soon.
I wanted a lightweight vest, so gave this one a try. Unfortunately the fit was not right for me. I'm 67 years old with the body of a mature woman.

I ended up returning this vest. I was looking for a nice lightweight down vest for multipurpose use. This vest seemed to fit the bill.

Weird fit for shorter torsos
I have been coveting this vest for so long. Finally bought one and was so darn disappointed. I'm 5'3" with normal bust/waist/hip proportions and a 17" torso. I have bought several Patagonia jackets in the last year. All size small. And although I've had to accept that they are a bit tight around the hip and a little loose i... Read Moren the chest (mainly because everything is made to fit tall skinny girls with perhaps broad shoulders and busty), it is not acceptable in a vest. The small was way too loose up top, the collar hit my chin (and I have a dancer's long neck), the armpit holes drooped which would let in so much wind, and because of the length it hit my hips, making the vest too tight. While moving it would slide up and bunch up like a sack. I won't bother ordering the XS, it will just be far too tight at the hip. Come on Patagonia, please, ask your designer to stop using his 5'9" skinny busty girlfriend as the sample model. Most of us are not made like that (how I wish though ;)). Please, if you're going to make everything so long, how about setting aside some fabric and shortening your patterns for the petite size (although I do not consider myself as petite...hardly.) I really want this vest. It is light weight, dries quick, and warm. But I want it to fit right. (And i don't think the Micro Puff is any better judging by the reviews of many who have the same complaints as I've pointed out.)
We're sorry the fit was disappointing on this vest, Maria! If you haven't done so already, please reach out to our Customer Service team to return it. We'll be happy to [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) with that, in addition to providing any measurements you'd like for our other women's vests.

Love so much!
I think I got the last one in the country in Navy. Crazy about it. So lightweight and comfortable yet warm. I live in it. Great job, guys! Crazy about Patagonia!
This is the 2nd nano vest I have purchased. My first nano from a few years ago still looks great even after many wears and washes. Its light weight, warm, and so convenient to bring along everywhere.
I love this vest and have 3 colors. My last purchase, about 3 years ago, I bought in a XL. This time I went with a L as the XL was a bit too big in the arm holes. Great for travel, hiking and everyday wear.
I recently relocated to the Northeast from the Southwest and am trying to figure out my winter layering so I can continue to be active outdoors. I am tall and have a large chest, so I had to size up from a M or L to an XL. The length in that size is great. I am surprised by how warm these nano puff products are while also being lightweight. I purch... Read Moreased the matching jacket as well (in a size Large).
I have this vest in three colors. I love it. The perfect lightweight vest that keeps your core warm without bulk and perfect to layer under other jackets when cold. Love the fit! Not boxy and not super tight... flattering.
I purchased the Nano Puff Vest to wear in my office and under my (Patagonia) down coat to get there! It's brilliant! Just enough warmth, no weight, so comfortable. Patagonia does it again!
I own the Nano puffer sweater and love it. Thought this vest would be a great layer for walking / biking during cooler weather without the weight. Perfect for layering up as well. Not heavy, just right weight. I bought medium as I wanted it a little less fitted. Highly recommend this stylish little gem. Definitely worth the money.
Perfect vest for warm weather states. You can wear it from Oct through June. Its adds a little warmth and style to cool evening nights and chilly hiking days.
This is a great mid layer when its heckin cold, and a good solo layer when its only sort of cold. Ive layered it under my rain jacket for some cold rainy days, the extra puff has been very cozy. Also a huge fan of the pocket number and placement. I didnt give it five stars because the fit is a bit off for me (keeping it anyway!!). Im a small-cheste... Read Mored-big-hip girl, and this vest is designed for a little more up top and a little less in the caboose. If it opened up a little more in the hip, I could just size down (Im 56 and a sturdy 160. 34A bust, 41 hip). The extra room up top isnt super noticeable, so Im keeping it. Its cozy, has good pockets, is a great color (grape seed), and layers well. Who knows, maybe the extra space is actually helping me stay warm! I also love Patagonias willingness to fix it if I bust a zipper or whatever. Hoping to wear this for years to come.
Love the latest addition to my Patagonia collection! Perfect to wear around the house with a lightweight base layer on cool days or while out hiking as an extra layer. Based on reviews of a tight fit around hips, I ordered a large, but it was too big around chest and in arm holes. The medium fits perfect.
I love this vest and have it in red as well as white. The fit is great I have a long torso and am busty. It fits perfect.

I have searched the web all over and cant find any crisp white vests with a fur collar.

Thanks!
The vest is light weight, super warm, and perfect for a walk, run, or hike. I've used it daily since purchasing due to it being very cold in my home (no heater) and just for extra warmth. My measurements are 34" bust, 24" waist, 36" hips. I originally ordered the Small but had to exchange for an XSmall for a better fit. I highly... Read More recommend this as a staple for the long haul. It would be nice to have more color variety, but simple works.
Im sure the vest is a nice layer but it looked terrible on me. Im not particularly overweight but it made me look like I have a giant pregnant belly. I have wider hips and its definitely not cut for my body type. Alas, it went back.
This vest is the perfect in-between season warmth. I use it for light hiking, getting to yoga class when it's a little bit cold out, or paired with booties and jeans. The pockets are key for stowing keys and phones!
I love the vest but wish it was a tad bit longer. I am truly in between sizes m and l be decided to go with the medium. Overall I am pleased with the product.
This is a lovely vest, light and warm, but I didn't like the elastic around the arm holes that rode up around my shoulders. I went for the Better Sweater vest instead. It's cozy, warm, and fits nicely. I'm using this vest around the house, not out in the wilderness.
Thank you for the feedback on our Nano Puff Vest. We're sorry to hear that the hip area was too narrow for you. We're always happy to provide you with measurements to ensure you receive the perfect fit on the item you're interested in.

I love this vest
The vest is light, warm, durable. I love the inside upper left pocket! It holds my glasses or face mask where they can be easily reached.
This is my second Nano puff vest.
I now have two of these. I wear one almost daily (sailing Baja and Pacific Coastal Mexico or living in Ojai CA ).

I love down, but this vest is a nice later to wear under another jacket or coat, not bulky and I feel safer should I get caught in the rain. The color is gorgeous and I get many compliments. I wish it were not quite so long, but not a dealbreaker. Cheers!
I love this vest! Being in Texas, we have milder winters and some puffer vests are so thick and insulated, that they are uncomfortable on those days when the temps get warmer. The lightweight vest makes it easy to layer. The blue color is vibrant, and true to the photographs. Size is perfect. I am busty and can still zip it up all the way. It also ...

The navy blue is a beautiful color.
It is slim fitting , thin layer underneath fits best. Slim in hips, larger in bust area. Fits well under a jacket. Pricey- hopefully it will last a long time.
I purchased this vest as a layer for the outdoor winter SoulCycle classes here in DC. Today was my first day wearing it and it was perfect.

I was unsure what size I should order as I have a larger chest (34DDD) and I dont like to size up because then everything is really baggy and boxy everywhere else.

I love the feel of this vest-- it is extremely lightweight and fits well underneath my coat. I said it runs a little large because it is a bit loose, but that means I can fit a thick sweater or pullover undearneath for maximum warmth! Overall, a great product.
Love this warm, comfortable vest! I got the vest in grey. I like to wear clothes that feels good and this vest fits the ticket! Very happy with this vest.
My wife really likes these. Not too warm and easy to throw on inside or out.
She has quite a few and wears them regularly during the winter months here in Va.
I love these vests but I have a hourglass figure. This causes the vest to bunch up a bit around the top because it won't lay nicely around my hip area. For women specifically it might be nice to have slits or something on the sides to allow for us curvy gals.
The Nano Puff Vest is warm, comfortable, and functional.
Just a fantastic product. There was a mixup during delivery and Patagonia quickly resolved the issue. Thank you for the exceptional customer service and experience.

Just Right
This vest is perfect for running on a cool day...it is just right, warm but not bulky!
I am so happy with my vest. I ordered it for my husband to give to me for Christmas. Its very cozy, perfect for running/walking/hiking and city life. I will get the jacket next year.
This is my 3rd Patagonia vest, and I love it as much as the other two. It's the perfect weight to throw over a sweater or flannel, and looks super cute, as well. I am 5'2", athletic build, and the Small gives me room for the layers under.
My order was exactly what I expected from Patagonia, top notch! They continuously sell great products. They may be a little on the pricier side, but they make up for it with the quality.
So light, so comfortable!! And keeps me sooo warm. I got a Medium so its snug to my body. If i need more warmth, I just throw something over it and its pretty toasty without the bulkiness. Must have if youre looking for a vest. Highly recommend.
Beautifully made, very lightweight and a good fit. Long enough to cover hips. Worth every penny! I will order earlier next year so that another color in my size will be available. What a great vest!
I love my Nano Puff vest. I have 3 of them and they are my "go to" for outdoor activity and as a second layer of light warmth under my nano puff jackets. Couldn't live without them! I also like that I can send it back for repairs.
First of all, I love Patagonia stuff, so much so that a neighbor asked if I worked for the company!

Great!
Warm and lightweight. A little big but I like to layer.
I love the added warm without all the bulk. Spring in early fall I can wear The vest alone during the colder months I layer it under jacket. Couldnt be happier with this product. Wish they were more colors
Was a little hesitant about the Nano insulation, because it is so thin an light. I was not disapointed. The inside breast pocket is nice and deep so cell phone and small walet fit in.

The down sweater vests and jackets I have are 8 to 10 years old. Patagonia is expensive, but it is quality and it lasts.
I have been buying Patagonia for years, despite sizing being somewhat unreliable, meaning if I went into a store, I would try on several L vests and pick the one that allows me to layer, inside and out.

Have the Nano Puff hoody (older version) which I absolutely love and is indestructible. Thought the vest will be a nice addition for cooler evenings when the jacket is too much. Will wear it for travel and around town. Looking forward to wearing it soon...now its 110 degrees. :-(
I already have two Nano Puff jackets and wanted a vest. Waited for it to go on sale. Wouldve ordered black but glad I got the happy yellow color!!! Love that these jackets can be stuffed inside themselves for travel. Zipper pockets to make sure nothing falls out of the pockets. Just enough warmth for the core.
I bought this vest to replace another
other brand I had. I was pleasantly surprised by how warm and comfortable it is. Definitely would tell friends and family about it.
I love this vest! its great as a layer under just about any coat or over a shirt for a little added warmth.
I purchased the very cheerful pineapple yellow but a more subdued color would probably be more versatile. The fit is true to size but I can see it being tight over the hips for those that are blessed with curves.
We live in the US mid-Atlantic, where the 4 seasons are known as almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.

The Nano Puff vest is the perfect layer if you just need a little core warmth while in the cold. Because it is a vest it doesn't get in the way of arm movement but it blocks wind so you don't get cold in a breeze.
I had tried this vest on in Vail, though they did not have the color I wanted, so ordered on-line. A small fit perfectly in store, but the small I received from on-line order was too small through the hips. I had to exchange it for a medium.

I am typically a size 0 or 2 (bottoms), and so I've always had issues with Patagonia's sizes as their XS often feels a bit big. I bought the XXS, even though I'm an XS according to the size chart. The XXS is a perfect fit for me as I wanted a more athletic fit.
For reference, my sizing is chest 32", waist 25", hip 35"... Read More. I can wear 3 formfitting (thin merino) base layers under the vest, and my (also formfitting) soft-shell then fits easily over the top. It's the perfect mid/extra layer for alpine touring or resort skiing.

I searched and read a lot of reviews for the perfect vest! This one is great. It makes a nice layering piece when worn over a shirt or light top. It’s more form fitting. For reference I’m 5 ‘ 5 “ 128 pounds and the medium fits great!
I purchased a nano puff vest many years ago and still wear it a lot. I love the warmth while being very lightweight. It’s my “go to” for under layer in winter and outer layer in spring or cool summer mornings. However, I don’t like Patagonia’s colors for women—I don’t like pink, purple, teal... come on pat, why do the men get grey, red, chartreuse?... Read More? When I saw this nano puff in grey for women, I couldn’t resist. The size is larger in the arm openings than my original vest, which means it won’t be as warm, but I’m keeping it because of the color. Thank you Pat. Now work on some other colors—like RED!
I wear it under my down jacket when its super cold, under my fleece when out hiking in the forest with my dog and just around the house. its very comfortable and I love having extra pockets!
I absolutely love this vest. It is lightweight and fits perfectly under my winter coat. I am toasty warm every time I wear it. I am going to buy another one soon.
My new favorite piece. I own lots of fleece pieces spanning 40 years. I love that Patagonia has gone back to this thin soft fleece. It is plenty warm for every activity outside or in.
Patagonia is worth every penny! This vest fits perfectly, has a great pocket inside for keeping my phone dry, and is very comfortable and warm. It is the perfect layer for running in Portland, Oregon.
The fit and styling were great, but there seems to be very little insulation. The nano puff jacket I have has about twice as much insulation. I am disappointed, as I was hoping for a warmer insulating layer.
Hi Heidi, we're sorry to hear you're disappointed with the insulation of this vest. Please feel free to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it if you were looking to do so, but haven't already. We suggest checking out the [Micro Puff Vest](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-micro-puff-vest/84090.html) if you would like something warmer and lighter.

Love it!
I hesitated to purchase this vest for a while now due to the price. But glad I finally decided to go for it. It is a great addition to my winter gear and I find myself grabbing it all the time before heading outdoors! Very warm and true to size.
I love all things Nano Puff. It is lightweight, warm, easy to wash and well made. A piece of clothing that will work hard for many years. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because the fit could be better. I seem to be an in between size where the medium is a little too big in the bust and the small is a little too small in the hips. Not a big pro... Read Moreblem. I still love my nano puff!
Hi Aran, we think that the Patagonia Women's Micro Puff® Vest would offer the best warmth for you. The Micro offers the same vegan insulation, but instead of 60-g of PrimaLoft® the Micro has 65-g of PlumaFill making the insulation loftier, helping to trap more heat. https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-micro-puff-vest/84090.html?dwvar_84090_color=FEA&cgid=womens&isSearch=true#tile-6=&q=vest&start=1&sz=24

So versatile
This vest is great for many reasons. It’s lightweight, very warm when paired with a hoodie, sweaters or any coat and if I get too warm, I can roll it up and shove it in my purse. It dries so quickly that I just hang it when it comes out of the wash. I wear it over a denim jacket sometimes. It’s just an all around great piece. I have every color!! I...

I'm disappointed this was too long and bunched up in the ab and chest area for me because of the length, especially in the chest. It gave me a uni-boob look where it bunched up. The vest did fit fine along the back. It seems a lot of patagonia women's things are going really long, and this is no exception. Other than that, this is such a ...

Hi Darlene! We're sorry to hear you were in between sizes with this item. If you'd like to initiate a return or exchange, you are welcome to do so here. I would recommend checking out our [W's Micro Puff Vest](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-micro-puff-vest/84090.html?dwvar_84090_color=FEA&cgid=root&isSearch=true#q=micro%2Bpuff%2Bvest&lang=en_US&start=1) in a size XL, as the garment measurements for this item are right in between the XL and XXL Nano Puff Vest.

Negative fit
I’m disappointed in the fit. Arm hole is gapping in front. I needed more hourglass shape. Length around lower back. My body shape is wide shoulders, small breasts, narrow waist, wide hips. I’m hoping as I wear the vest, it will conform.
This is my second nano puff vest and I am honestly dissappointed. Something is different- it is shorter than my other, is super boxy. Great color, sadly this is going back.
I got this as a layer for skiing. I love that it packs super small and is lightweight. The colors are great too and I got lots of compliments. However, I find its warmth to be waning. Seemed like when I first had it, it was great. But now it doesn't seem to add much warmth at all. Also, from the beginning the zipper would get caught. It was su... Read Moreper annoying but I dealt with it. Today, I just realized as it got stuck again and I couldn't undo it that it has ripped a hole through the outer layer and the insulation is coming out. I'm very disappointed. I was hoping it would last forever!

We are always looking to ensure your satisfaction so if you decide you'd like to [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return) this back to us, we'd be happy to get you taken care of. Thanks for the feedback on this!
This is the third nano puff vest I have owned. I am a ski instructor and wear one almost every day so appreciate multiple colors. It keeps my core warm, is very light, and looks good at lunch.
Patagonia products never disappoint. I have this vest in several colors to wear when I ski as an under layer or walking the dogs. It is surprisingly warm and lightweight.
This vest fits perfectly on my 5’2” /130 lb. athletic body. Lightweight fill is right for those early morning cool spells. The vest fits close to the body with room to move yet keep warmth close. The armholes are not too high or low. A long sleeved top fits comfortably underneath. The length is right. It falls just below the tailbone. This vest can... Read More comfortably be worn below a heavier jacket. The zipper works easily and the pocket zippers and interior zipper are very useful. The collar leaves room for a turtleneck top and, if not zipped up all the way, the collar can be folded down. This lightweight vest is a great piece to have and the blue color is so nice.
I LOVE the Nano Puff line! I have the hooded jacket and just got the vest. I have a little bigger hips so, the large is snug there, but fits great everywhere else. If you're looking for a down alternative vest, this one is quality and very good looking.

A bit roomy
I am very satisfied with the Nano vest I just received except for one small issue...the shoulder area of the vest is a bit loose and bunches up a little on the top of my shoulders. I wear a small, and was surprised about the fit as I am a kayak instructor and do not have narrow shoulders. Otherwise the vest fits well.
Patagonia’s nano puff vest is the warmest vest I’ve ever owned. Literally no wind going through that thing. Anything Patagonia is good. Can’t go wrong! I love it!!
This is my second purchase of same Vest. The first one (5 years old) is still fine and wonderful but I needed a smaller size . This Vest is so comfortable and light and attractive... it's my go-to for golfing and casual wear. The grey color is lovely but a good friend has a navy and the color is true and terrific!
thank you for the extended sizing for us broad shoulder/big busted gals! I'll take a little bit of extra fabric around the mid-section/hips for a nano puff vest I can zip. I love it!
I haven't had a puffy vest in many years. Love the fabric, it's soft and warm, great mid layer... best of all the fit. I have a larger torso and struggle with the Patagonia fit, this vest has a feminine shape and has enough room to be comfortable with a thicker layer under. I wear it probably too much :)
adore the color combo.
This a great light weight, non puffy vest. I would say it runs just a little big...however, it works out perfectly to have a little extra room for layering with sweatshirts and sweaters.
It’s a great women’s vest - well made with warming qualities and lots of color choices, but not right fit for me. Collar is too tall for my shorter neck. The large seemed to run large. I returned it for a Nano-Air. I love the fit of the Nano-Air.
I have wanted this vest for over a year and I am so excited to own it now. I'm 5'8" and 165 lbs and the Medium fits perfect. Flattering cut, durable material, and warm. I use mine a lot for cold weather running and it performs beautifully. I also will use it for spring ice climbing as well as rock climbing, hiking, and just everyday ... Read Morewhen its chilly. I love this vest!
I’ve never used a vest when running but some other long time runners suggested I try your vest. It has worked great for weather down to 29 degrees so far. Would probably choose something with sleeves for anything colder!
I wanted a thinner vest that would fit under jackets. Already this vest has proven its use -- great for those fall days when you know you need to layer, but it still gets kinds of warm.
I’ve always loved the nano puff vest and have several through the years. I’ve always bought a large and it fit perfect but the last 2 years it is smaller so I had to return. The extra large is so big on the top. So sad to have to send it back again.
This vest is beautiful in color and reliable in the harsh weathers of Northern Michigan. I am very satisfied with my order and the quality of the product.
This vest is a perfect layer for fall/winter. It keeps you very warm. It does seem like they changed their sizing a bit. It is a more relaxed cut than my other small Patagonia vests. I love the zippered pockets and the fresh color scheme. Great product.
I've been wanting a nano puff vest for a while but was hesitant to spend the money, definitely worth the investment. Perfect layering piece for fall, winter & spring.
I want to get off the mountain, whether I'm walking the dogs, skiing or just getting some fresh air and move straight into my next activity, which let's be real is generally après. I love this vest because it can fit under all my layers and then still feels cute enough to go out for drinks after my adventure. 10/10 would buy again.
Love the vest. I had originally ordered the xs but found it to be too big for me. I called customer service who was very helpful and suggested the xxs. It arrived the other day and it fits perfectly. I've been wearing it non stop. It's perfect for hiking in the Fall. I may wear it as a layer in the winter.
This vest is warm and incredibly versatile. I can wear it hiking, running or just running errands. The fabric is great quality, and I really like the quilting of the nano puff. I wanted a vest that was a fitted, so I went with the small. But if I had the need to put larger layers underneath, I would have sized up.
This vest is nice with stand alone or as a layering piece. It is a bit longer, which I like. The cut is not too trim. Looks good with a long sleeve shirt or sweater.
This is the second purchase of this same vest and I love it. Very lightweight but exceptionally warm, can easily be layered over or under a shirt or jacket. I'm 5'6, 125 lbs and ordered a size S.
This vest is a great layer to throw under almost any outer layer or even as a stand alone vest outside a flannel. I like the best of the nano best of all as it provides the extra warmth where I need it most. Also this vest fits well and is true to size.
Unless you have a really long (and probably really straight) torso, this vest probably won't work for you... I am not sure if folks were thinking about women's hips when they designed this vest. I am fairly normally proportioned (or so I thought)... 5'4", 120 lbs, size S or M (depending on if I want to plan for layers). The armh... Read Moreoles are roomy and the fabric is lightweight and warm (I tested this around the house...), but because of the long cut, it bunches in really weird, unflattering, and uncomfortable ways.
Thanks for your feedback, Claudia! We're sorry to hear the fit isn't working out for you. Please note you are welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it if you haven't already. We're also always happy to email you any item's measurements chart so you can feel more confident about your next purchase.

Great Vest
My wife loves this vest. She's worn it almost every day since receiving it ten days ago.
I will get so much mileage out of this vest! Thin, but warm - great combo. It’s longer than I would like (hits at high hip) and I’ve actually noticed a longer length in several recent purchases (what’s up, Patagonia?) For reference, I’m 5’3”, 105lbs, and I got an XS.
Sadly, I did not keep my nano puff vest. I ordered a medium and found that it was just right to slightly small in the hips while it was large for me in the chest. I felt a larger size would be just too big so returned
Love my vest and my granddaughter loves hers as well. Two different ones for mine has the down feathers and she did not want it. But overall very nice.
Went hiking in October in Canada. Was in the low 30s and high 20s. Colder at higher elevations. Mostly wore a wool baselayer and my nano puff vest and it kept me warm throughout my hikes. Also looks great with jeans and boots for a casual dinner out. Have it in 3 colors would have all if I had more money :) 5’8” and about 150 curvy. Medium is perfe... Read Morect.
This vest is a God send for work this fall. It looks great with a blouse, long sleeve shirt, turtle neck.
I'm wearing it with pencil skirts and A-line skirts.
Boots or ballerina flats. LOVE this.
This runs big though :0
If I had been able to try this on first, would have likely gotten the next size down.
Have the Nano Puff jacket, needed the vest for lighter weather and more mobility! Perfect warmth and layering with no bulk. The sizing is different from jacket... no need to size up. Originally I did since was necessary with jacket, but with vest armpits/chest too big and fit was too boxy - not flattering at all. Stick with your true size in the ve...

This is my 3rd women's nano puff vest! After wearing my basic colors constantly, I decided to add a more fun hue. The lighter weight is perfect for layering year round, in our unpredictable, Cape Cod climate. The style suits my body type: tall, narrow hips & curvy on top. I'm
