What temperature is Patagonia Micro Puff good for?

What temperature is Patagonia Micro Puff good for?

35-50 degree
While the warmth to weight ratio is very high with the Micro’s synthetic 65-g PlumaFill® polyester insulation, it ultimately didn’t keep us quite as warm as the Nano’s 60-g PrimaLoft® polyester insulation. The Micro wears most comfortably in the 35-50 degree range—though you will work up a sweat if you’re on the move.

Is Patagonia Micro Puff waterproof?

Insulated jackets are never going to perform as well when they’re wet, but the Micro Puff still insulated well. Getting the insulation entirely saturated was difficult, but it’s not intended to be used as a waterproof jacket, and if you do use it like this it will eventually wet through.

Does Patagonia Nano Puff run small?

The jacket is form fitting but I felt that the sizing ran small when compared to similar medium sized puffy jackets. I would have preferred to layer sweaters underneath for additional warmth but the medium did not allow it. So if you want to layer clothing under it, I recommend you order a size up.

How do you clean micro puffs?

Machine wash polyester in warm water on the ”permanent press” setting. Use a mild laundry detergent (nontoxic, biodegradable types preferred) and dry it on a clothesline if possible. You may also use a dryer on a low heat setting, just make sure to remove it from the dryer quickly to prevent wrinkling.

What is PlumaFill?

Synthetic insulation comes in many different forms, but PlumaFill is unique: it’s made up of down-mimicking polyester fibers that are secured together in one continuous, fluffy line. It’s a far cry from the wall insulation-style fabric sheets of the early synthetic jackets. The same can’t be said for down.

Is Patagonia Micro Puff discontinued?

Should I size up in Patagonia?

Patagonia sizing is mostly true to size. However some items – notably shorts and trousers – are cut larger than a usual size, so if in doubt consider going a size down.

Can I dry Patagonia Nano Puff?

If you want, run it through an extra rinse cycle. Best to line or drip dry but you can tumble dry on the lowest heat setting and take out while still damp. Synthetic insulation dries quickly. Originally Answered: How should a Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket be washed?

What is the difference between Nano and Micro Puff Patagonia?

The Nano puff is more durable but heavier and less packable (bear in mind that it’s still very lightweight and easily stuffs into the crevices of over-packed bags). The Micro Puff is lighter — it tallies 8.3 ounces compared to the Nano’s 11.9 — but less durable with a shell that’s roughly half as thick.

Is the Patagonia micro Puff the right insulation for You?

Is the Patagonia micro Puff the best lightweight synthetic jacket?

How much does a Patagonia Hoody weigh?

The women’s model weighs in at 8 ounces (and on our scale, the men’s hoody in a medium size is 9.2 ounces), which frankly is pretty amazing. For reference, Patagonia’s popular synthetic Nano Puff Hoody is 10.8 ounces, and their top lightweight down jacket, the Down Sweater Hoody, checks in at 13.1 ounces.

What kind of insulation does the micro puff Hoody use?

Like the other Micro Puffs, it uses 65g PlumaFill insulation but, compared to the original Micro Puff Hoody, it has a roomier cut, helmet-compatible hood, two-way zipper — and is barely any heavier!
