@@Engearment sean I was living in Westminster but moved to FL for a bit (I’ll be back. CO is my love ❤️ and FL is SO boring 🤣) Enjoy yourself out there for me please!
Hey Sean - appreciate the 100 day review, looking forward to this when it’s available. How would you compare / contrast this with the R1 Tech Face? I use this piece all the time backcountry touring, mostly as a mid layer over my baselayer and Nano Air vest. Curious as to your thoughts how this new jacket would fit into my system. Thanks, my friend!
Hello my man! I really like the R1 techface. But this one seems to breath better. Yet have more insulation in the torso. Probably like your vest. It’s really versatile. Hope your adventures are great up there!
Did you use a backpack directly on the R1 fabric on the back and did you notice some wear and tear? I had jackets which showed significant damage in a short amount of time at the lower back were my backpack is rubbing against. Therefore I use more robust jackets but they are not breathable :/
Hi Sean, any chance you'll be doing review on the updated Nano Air hoody? I can't decide between the new nano-air or the micro Puff because they're both priced at $329. I only saw two reviews on Patagonia's website from a user in August as well as another user earlier this month of October. Thank you.
Hello! I was just chatting with our contacts at Patagonia and I believe we will have the new Nano Air soon to review. I saw it in person last spring and it is very nice. Keep you posted!
This reminds me of Black Diamond’s new Vision Hybrid Hoody, also with a different fabric on the back. It is interesting and nice trend for me because I tend to sweat so much on my back. Comparing Atom, Proton, Nano Air and Black Diamond’s First Light Stretch Hoody for active insulation, I have to see the First Light wins the game. However unfortunately BD discontinued that jacket (why?????). It’s the best jacket I have ever had for hiking uphill (sweaty bad) and staying warm on top of the mountain when I stand still resting. Atom and Proton and Nano Air just don’t provide as much warmth and fabric durability so that it’s not enough for resting on top of mountain and I am kinda nervous when using a rough backpack. Do you by any chance review the new Black Diamond Vision Hybrid Hoody? Although it’s not a direct replacement of the First Light Stretch Hoody, it is the closest new jacket from BD. Again thank you for your review and I am grateful that I found your channel. Greetings from Taipei, Taiwan!
Hello Mr. Sean, thank you for the review, I purchased a OR Vigor sometime ago (microgrid fleece, trim fit) and I didn't like because it is very effective pulling sweat out of the body and getting smelly in the process, which means it cannot be used multiple days in urban environment or when travelling. What about this Patagonia hoodie?
Hello! Thanks for the nice note! I am with you, I can not do much activity in any microgrid fleece without it quickly stinking. I can live in the Nano-Air light for weeks and not have the same level of stink. I think the synthetic insulation on the front does such a great job of breathing.
Heck yeah buddy! It is a cool company called MADE. Couple of former arcteryx peeps Forbes it. We have a podcast episode with them as well as a detailed review on the custom jacket. I love it. Thanks for the good question!
How would you compare this nano air light hybrid to the standard R1 hoody (use would be resort skiing and occasional backcountry skiing with a Powslayer outlayer). Particularly in terms of warm and breathability. I currently use the R1 hoody for that purpose (for the past decade or so) and am at the point where I will need to replace. Just wondering if I should wait for this particular jacket to come out. Of note, I did try an R1 Air hoody and I think it is bulky (and hotter) compared to the standard R1 as a midlayer so I've nixed that one off the list.
@@Engearment awesome! Seems like a cool jacket no one really reviewed the product other than some reviews on the product page or like a couple people on Reddit giving their opinion on the jacket not much else on it no videos on RUclips on it
Thank you! Yes, there is in the arms. Feels about that same density as the torso. It’s a nice, even distribution of breathable insulation. Heck, I am wearing it right now! 😎😆
Great video!! This convinced me to buy the jacket that is 50% off right now! Thanks so much
Happy to help, enjoy your new jacket!
I have the old one that I layer under a light hoody. They’re both some of my favorite pieces. Thanks for showing the new one!
Right on! Stoked you are stoked! I had the OG one as well, so good. Take care!
The mid-layer-mullet is back!
Great insight.. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Looks fantastic!
Thanks for the nice note! It’s a really great piece. So happy with it.
What part of Colorado are you in?!

Enjoy yourself out there for me please!
Been looking forward to this since your first preview - had the first version that came out in 2018 and stoked for the update.
Thanks Brian!
I had that one too. Loved it!!
This one is even better. You will absolutely love it. It’s even better with the R1 Air material.
Is it warmer than the current Nano Air? I suppose it wouldn’t be due to the back fabric but still have a tiny little hope for it…
@@clairehsu5915 interesting, I would be curious to get @engearment take on this as well.
Can't wait for its release... cheers!
🙌🙌 cheers my friend!
Nice one mate could be exactly what I need for snowboarding as well under my ak shells
Oh ya! It is excellent for that. Cheers!
Wish it had a napoleon pocket big enough for a modern iPhone plus size.
That would be excellent!

Where did you get a custom neoshell jacket, if I can ask?
Heck yeah buddy! It is a cool company called MADE. Couple of former arcteryx peeps Forbes it. We have a podcast episode with them as well as a detailed review on the custom jacket. I love it. Thanks for the good question!
Can you say how it compares to the Arcteryx proton fl?
Hey! Just found out we will have the Proton coming in to test. So we will get a comparison for you 🙌
How would you compare this nano air light hybrid to the standard R1 hoody (use would be resort skiing and occasional backcountry skiing with a Powslayer outlayer).

were u wearing wax red color?
Is the hoody worth it over the jacket version?
Hoody is nice for hiking. Jacket is great for all around use.
Have you tried the Arc’teryx proton hybrid yet?
I have not. I will reach out to them and see if we can get that going.

@@Engearment thanks! :)
Thank you for thanks for the review. One question: is there any insulation in the arms?
Thank you! Yes, there is in the arms. Feels about that same density as the torso. It’s a nice, even distribution of breathable insulation. Heck, I am wearing it right now! 😎😆
I have a gift card for $160. What would you suggest that I buy? I will be moving to the South East in a year or so
