Patagonia Men's Micro Puff Vest

Ultra-light, compressible and warm, the Patagonia Micro Puff Vest is your most valuable weather arsenal for keeping your core firing and maintaining your cold-weather sanity. When it comes to alpine shiver-fests and incoherent mumbling, it's a no-brainer to throw this high-loft vest into your pack to ward off the zombies. Designed with durable and amazingly efficient 100-g PrimaLoft One synthetic insulation, the Puff Vest traps heat even when wet, while its DWR (durable water repellent) 100% all-recycled polyester shell (1.5-oz 32-denier; lining is 1.4-oz 22-denier) blocks wind and sheds snow. Two hand-warmer and one interior zippered chest pocket that doubles as a stuff sack (with a carabiner clip-in loop) offer convenient storage for essentials. This Patagonia vest is recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

staken - February 7 2012

If you are familiar with Patagonia sizing, this is what I would call a slim fit. Some of the reviews were miss leading to me. This fits more like a slim fit R2 fleece. As for warmth, I believe it's on par with if not warmer then my 800 fill down sweater. Typical with Patagonia light weight gear, the zipper is light duty, meaning that unless the zipper is fully seated before pulling up, the zipper will split open from the bottom. Not necessarily a problem but somewhat annoying. My R2 zipper has done this dozens of times but still works fine if I zip it up correctly. The Micro Puff seems to be the same.

Love it
I bought this for my husband and he loves it. It's light weight and very comfortable. He is 6', 160lbs and the medium was a perfect fit for him. I would definitely recommend this product.

Ideal Gift
I purchased this vest as a Christmas gift to my son-in-law, who is 27 and physically fit. He typically wears a large in shirts, coats, etc. so I purchased a large in the vest and it fit him perfectly. He told me he especially likes the inside pocket for his I-phone and money safety as well as the non-bulky layering that he is doing in the winter here in Northwest Indiana. He loves the color brown I chose, and the warmth it provided when he wore it without an over layer. We are going skiing soon and his luggage will be lighter having this vest than any of his other brand vests, so he will definitely take this one for its compact packing too. He is very happy with his gift!

Lightweight yet Warm
In comparison to the North Face ACONCAGUA vest, this vest is much more comfortable and lighter in thickness. This vest also is a little shorter in the length and fits better. I'm 5'11" tall and about 180 lbs the large size fit perfectly. I wear the vest by itself or overall a sweater. Overall, I'm pleased wit the fit and quality.

Great vest
I bought this vest for my husband who commutes to work in the cold northeast weather. He loves it and says its also suitable to wear in the office. It fits true to size and it does not look too bulky on him. It keeps him warm while looking good at the same time!
