So there you have it, a review of the Patagonia Macro Puff. Thanks for keeping me here at Pack Hacker, your guide to smarter travel.

I own a Patagonia micro puff for backpacking/dayhiking. With repeated stuffing it’s pretty flat now and after research and washing/drying I now know it’s puffed it’s last puff.

You could try Patagonia's Macro Puff (it's often on sale nowadays and of very similar warmth), but I've tried both and much prefer the Atom AR as it's more form fitting. They offer them in some nices blues and reds however, so maybe try one out and see if it fits?. Otherwise I'd try out the Nuclei FL and SV, they're technical pieces but if you don't mind the look they can be super useful in wet cold urban settings.

I stayed warm but not hot, I could feel a bit of air moving in and out, but not anywhere in particular (seams and zippers seemed solid). It was like everything breathed just right to keep me at a perfect temp and not sweating. Storm hood stayed nice and snug on top of my head and around my face (again, with the caveat that I wish I could have snugged it up to my mouth and nose better).

I’ve jokingly started referring to it as my security blanket because I rarely go anywhere without it. I’m constantly impressed at how well it cuts the wind on its own, and it fits perfectly under my rain shell (I live in the PNW so it rains quite a bit). I like having my shell and nano puff as separate pieces because I can use them in a full variety of climates. I’d highly recommend it!.

I have a Patagonia macro puff that looks great, is covered by Patagonia's amazing warranty, is super light, and is warm. It also works as a great midlayer under a more weather resistant jacket.
