Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover – Must have for alpine sports.
Wear the Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover jacket once in cold weather and you’ll never regret buying it. The Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover jacket is a light weight, earth friendly, windproof, water resistant, insulated pull over that’s super soft and compressible. This puppy is perfect for just about any alpine related activity.
Featuring high lofting, synthetic insulation, the Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover jacket offers not only exceptional warmth, but great packability. Unlike down, the synthetic insulation wont wilt or clump if it gets wet. This lets you throw on the Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover for any activity without thinking twice.
To make the Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover jacket an even more carefree choice, there is a durable outer shell. This shell is windproof, water resistant, and made from recycled polyester. The Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover is designed to fit comfortable over layers.

Comments
This jacket certainly lives up to its reputation. Very warm, very light and feel great on the skin. It’s going with me anywhere now, camping, trekking, travelling in the winter. It does run 1 size bigger than normal. I followed the recommendation from others on the size and downsizing 1 fits me perfectly. I think if it had been bigger, it would not have been as warm.

I passed Seasons Holidays with a friend in the Scandinavian Snow. Tim had exactly this Patagonia Stuff, I had a Fleece from North Face plus Gore Windshell.
We changed one day equipment - i swear, it was a dream! Light weighted, wind and water stayed outside and it was dry very soon.
