Nano-Air Ultralight Pullover

Patagonia is one of those companies that I feel an unwavering trust in. I often find myself browsing their collection of garments, only to stumble upon a strange design choice—a waffle pattern interior or unorthodox pocket size. Almost universally, those choices greatly contribute the product's positive impact on my life. I've worn an R1 pullover almost daily for over 3 years and the waffle pattern does its part to keep me impressively warm. Their "strange" pocket size prevents the glasses of sailors from sliding under the armpit when stowed away.

Their Nano-Air ultralight is no exception to Patagonia's innovative design. Weighing only 218g, the pullover perfectly regulated my core temperature during a brisk hike on a windy, cold day. I run pretty warm and usually find myself shedding layers during more intense exercise—somehow, this wasn't the case with the Nano-Air, which found a fantastic balance between ventalating my core and protecting me from the elements. And if I do need to shed that layer, the pullover is so light that I can stuff it in the smallest of packs, or even a pocket.
