What temperature is Patagonia Micro Puff good for?
35-50 degree range
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.
How warm is Micro Puff?
It’s always difficult to assign a temperature range for an insulated piece, but we found the Micro Puff kept us reasonably comfortable into approximately the mid 40s Fahrenheit with a thin baselayer underneath.
Is Micro Puff or Nano Puff better?
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 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.
How do I clean my Patagonia Micro Puff?
In general, washing your gear in cold or warm water with mild laundry soap (non-toxic, biodegradable types preferred) and drying it on the line are the best ways to clean Patagonia® products.
Do Patagonia jackets keep you warm?
A jacket like the Patagonia Nano Puff which has synthetic insulation is great in all weather because it not only keeps you warm but can also get wet. You see, synthetic down may take a little longer to warm up, and be a little heavier than down, but if you get caught in the rain – no problem! It stays warm.
What is PlumaFill Patagonia?
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.
Can Patagonia go in the dryer?
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 immediately to prevent wrinkling.
Can you wash Nano Puff?
Is The Patagonia Nano Puff Machine Washable? Yes, these jackets can be washed in washing machines, and it’s best to use specialized detergents and front-loading machines for the purpose.
