Review: Patagonia Nano-Air Hoody

Patagonia's Nano-Air Ultralight Full-Zip Hoody might just be the creme de la creme of ultralight jackets for high-output activity. This coat has it all—it's featherlight, has comfortable stretch, and boasts breathable insulationm, all with a semi-fitted style that keeps you at the right temperature and stays put without restricting movement. It packs down small, taking up almost no space in your pack or running vest. Add on a durable material with DWR finish, sizable pockets, and a quiet hood, and you've got the jacket that makes you forget you're wearing a jacket. Available at patagonia.com; $249.
