- This is the probably the warmest, lightest down alternative jacket in the world. And, I do get cold easily.

Excellent review, camera work and video editing. Good shot of the novel Pluma Fill synthetic insulation, something other RUclips reviews omitted. Thanks, especially for the real world winter shots and the intelligent layering demonstration.
I own this jacket. The only one I hiked with in 2019, great for ultra light back packing. Got on sale from REI in march on their anniversary sale. $230. It's worth it!!!
love mine too spring summer early fall jacket great for layering
wow. great video. exactly what i was looking for. i appreciate you adding the layering example.
I bought one today and I'm wearing it now as I'm watching this review!
Cold inside?
ooooooooooooooooo !
Great video. I love my nano puff vest. Probably going to invest in this jacket as well.
The price is pretty steep but I think the features make it worth it.
i love my micro puff. i feel its noticeably warmer than my nano puff. great visuals btw!
Great production quality video bro. Nice jacket too. I love their business mindset.
"If you're looking to wear just a t-shirt and a jacket in winter, then look elsewhere" HAHAHA CRAZY MAN!! 😂😂
This will be my 3rd fall/winter w the micro, it lost a noticeable amount of loft over time and of course the DWR was shot long ago. I gave it a warm soak in dr bronners, hand washed & rinsed it, and sprayed it with a few coats of nikwax from REI. The wash and dry puffed it right back up, and the DWR is back to new, or better. The macro I ordered last week should be here shortly, it’ll be interesting to compare/contrast the two
I have the Nano Puff, which is pretty much the warmer version of this and it’s similar in warmth to a thick hoodie. It’s designed for ultra light backpackers. It’s great because it’s lightweight and can be packed into its own pocket and turned into a small pillow. Great as a backup jacket for those just Incase situations. There are many “off brand” jackets that are similar for a fraction of the price. I have a UNIQCLO that works pretty much the same. Doesn’t feel as soft and the zipper kinda sucks but for the money, it’s fine.
I just bought it today. Thank you for the information.
Thanks for comparing it to the Uniqlo jacket, no need to upgrade just yet. Good review my mannn
Thanks for helping me save money! I actually have a Better Sweater and a uniqlo hooded down jacket. I'm surprised you didn't say the Micro puff was warmer than the uniqlo jacket.
Awesome video... Hope to see more outdoor gear reviewed. You earned a subscribe.
I love mine too! I’m a vegan so this is a great option using synthetic material. I plan to get a Gortex shell jacket and use this Patagonia puff as my main mid layer for mountaineering.
Great review. Thank you!
I love this jacket she is a great jacket!
Great vid! I recently bought the latest version of this micro puff and look forward to trying it out in the winter! Could I ask what is the grey? fleece sweater that you are wearing in this video? Thanks 👍
so thats what you were filming in the storm lol dope jacket and dope vid!
Thanks so much!!!
I wear your products and” Love”them!🇺🇸
he said " leaves the geese the hell alone" lol, hahahahahahaha
Крутая куртка Патагония 👍
They went from nano to micro when they should have gone pico. Still, nice features. If my nano puff goes bad, this would be the replacement to get.
I've used this jacket in mid 20 degree temps (f) with a t shirt and light flannel and was comfortable.
That,s an novel theory you have there about the stitching patern. ( a 40 s ) : " it allows for heat to move freely within the jacket..." That,s the last thing you want from your insulation.
What such a patern does; it reduces "cold bridges' between the inside and outside, improves the loft of the insulation and i can imagine it will improve movability of the jacket.
But I don,t know the construction of the jacket. It is possible that there is a layer of insulation stitched to the outside and another layer is stitched to the inside. That will reduce 'cold bridges' to next to nothing , although where the filling is compressed by stitching, warmth will move freely (....)
better said
Improving loft improves heat retention. I think you Do want the heat to move (rise) under the jacket... maybe not within the insulation itself but otherwise. Stay safe.
Great review; helped me decide if it was going to be the right jacket for the temperature range we usually see here. Sounds like it will be! By the way, which fleece jacket are you wearing in the video?
The Better Sweater full zip by Patagonia
@@MrParticular what colour sweater is this please? I can not that match on Patagonia website?
Thanks
It’s the performance better sweater jacket in industrial green. Not sure if they carry the color anymore.
Great vid bro . Keep it up

I purchased this coat. I am very satisfied. But I cant believe it is 2oz heavier t hgv an the EE torid or the MH ghost whisperer. But caught an REI sales and saved 80 bucks off retail. REI had this jacket in stock, the other two had to be ordered online . The higher front pockets to allow use with hip belt on is great. The two inside pockets are huge, gloves, beanie and maps fit well. The DWR finish and the new fill seem like a great match if it gets wet out while hiking. So far in past 30 days, it's a great jacket.
And here's my California ass feeling cold when I'm wearing their down "sweater" which is really more like a jacket and their fleece better sweater in 40 degree weather lol. After living here for 6 years after winters on the east coast, I've become soft. Maybe I need to learn to layer better.
fuck u man ㅗㅗㅗㅗ
Let me tell you something if u are watching this video to buy it: If you are buying the MICRO PUFF for autumn or cold summer nights or maybe to go climbing, its nice. But believe me , do not try the MICRO PUFF in winter time. If you are looking for a warm jacket for winter you should buy the DOWN SWEATER hoody jacket or the down hi loft hoody jacket. Plus they do not have the elastic at the bottom of the jacket, very uncomfortable. Down its going to be cheaper and warmer. I bought the micro puff because it was the most expensive and thought it was better but boy I was wrong, go with the down jacket. I bought the down jacket 6 months ago and its great for winter

I’ll never pay that price. I have a UL down parka with a hood. It’s awesome. And yes I layer with it. Just beware it’s not a rain jacket, it’s water resistant. But I just layer on top with a bigger rain jacket. After that, it’s just a matter of taking care of the legs and feet.
Depends. If you are talking about walking out your front door every day and back in that night a down parka might be fine but it's a different story when you are living away from the house. A puff is way more functional than a parka year around.
How does it compare to arc'teryx cerium
I wouldn't like the hoody but I wear my Micro Puff almost every day. With both a moisture-wicking sleeveless tee and long-sleeve shirt the Puff will keep me warm "enough" temps above about 35 degs. while riding my ebike at between 15 to 25 mph. They pack down well, wear comfortably, have zip pockets that can add additional warmth... if you aren't riding a bike anyway. The hood would be great in the right situations but unless it is removable it would be in the way for me most of the time. They do need a rain skin of some kind... you don't want them to absorb much water. They may be better than down but they aren't magic, keep it dry and it will keep you warm.

@@valentinpons9191 It's just one layer out of several in hard winter weather.
@@brianbassett4379 where are you from, how is the temperature?? you know what I dont like about my micro puff? elastic band on the bottom and how lightweight it is. I bought it because it was the most expensive and thought it was the warmest. im from argentina and we have temperatures that goes down to 0 degrees Celsius, my micro puff can't resist that. that's why I bought the down jacket and been using it everyday
@@valentinpons9191 The reason I choose the Micro Puff is that with synthetic insulation it is better for wetter climates. Down is great in a cold dry environment but doesn't do well in wet locations. They are pretty clear on their site of what the advantages and disadvantages are to both down and synthetics. I am on a bike for extended periods of time and the Puff has its place in my layering system. What I wish is that it had pit-zips to better vent it.

Stay safe.
@@brianbassett4379 i didn't know about the wetter climates thing. So , you are telling me that if Im going cycling (which I go everyday because of the quarantine, only sport allowed) and it's raining, micro puff its going to be better in that climate because it won't get wet, and my down sweater will get soaked?
omg i want this
Patagonia, the jacket for the man who is cold even indoors
Do you think anyone is going to interrupt your comment as you intended it? I don't wear mine indoors but have worn it for about 500 hours or more.
Great video!
Did you say $300!?! Oh Hell Naw!
"Leaves geese the hell alone."
Creepy vegan...
Actually I'm a vegetarian, but even meat eaters can appreciate the down-alternative material. :)
*someone starts having a heart attack* Person: "Is anyone here a doctor?" Vegetarian: "Actually, I'm a Vegitarian".....
You eat Dcks so you’re not vegetarian.
So natural materials are in unless they’re feathers?
Good review and yes it's supposed to be the best synthetic insulation jacket on the market at the moment. One thing I don't think you mentioned though is that synthetic insulation in more fragile than down and typically only lasts for 1 - 3 seasons before a very noticeable reduction in heat retention. The fibers break quite easily compared to down and so lose their loft. Even though this insulation is great just keep that in mind. You can prolong the longevity by not packing it tightly and if you have it in a backpack keep it near top so it does not get crushed.
Did NOT know THAT !!!
Thank You MUCH for POSTING !!!
thanks for the information.
i will buy a down jacket.
What do you base this information on? Where did you find this? I haven't heard anything like this. Thanks.
@@joshd2861 a bit late but here it is: ruclips.net/video/wHF4qnKfcLI/видео.html
What size are you wearing in the video??
Can we compare this with Columbia Omni-Heat models?
Great video. What color is the sweater you are wearing underneath the micro puff?
Industrial Green
Hi this jacket good for a visit in the city's of europe in the winter?
Great review. Subbing. I am tempted to get this. However I walk in the forest in France and it can be narly. Brambles everywhere. I fear the shell will rip after a couple of hikes. Darn.
Yes, you would need a more protective outer shell along with this jacket, which kind of defeats the purpose.
I stopped as soon as i heard "$300 price tag..."
It’s 149 has I speak so act fast
What brand and model is your first layer and second layer
I snagged this bad boy on sale at REI for $125, worth every penny
I don't think that could be considered a shell. Treat puffer jackets how you treat a sleeping bag and don't get it wet (if you can)
I just bought a new one for $180 I had an old Nano puff that was really warm and wish I would have kept. The micro fiber feels so thin like a windbreaker. And there is no pulleys like on the nano hoodie, why is the micro $299 and the Nano puff $249 I think the nano puffs are a lot better than micro.
But did they fix the fact that zippers are constantly getting caught on the fabric?
I haven't experienced anything like that with mine.

What’s the name of the jacket u are using inside the micro puff?
Can you wear a waterproof shell over the top? How does it compare with the Marmot featherless hoodie
You Have to wear a water skin of some kind over it in the rain.
Is it warmer than the nano? and also how it will be with just a shirt under around 45 average?
To me, it’s less warm than the Nano-which is fine because I like to layer anyway. As for wearing with a t-shirt, I guess you could do it but I would be uncomfortable with the puff against my bare forearms when I get hot indoors.
Another awesome video! But I have to ask what gloves are those?
Thanks! Eddie Bauer Chopper gloves
Good QUESTION !!!
Anyone know what the name of the Patagonia under jacket he was wearing? Great review btw! Thanks 🙏🏻
invisiblekid69 It looks like better perfomance sweater jacket. It is warm and very comfortable. My father and husban’s favorite! Zip 1/4 is better to wear under jacket.
Biola Pzt yes! Thank you so much for replying! Going to see if I can find one here in Scotland. Appreciate that Biola 😊
How tall are you and what size are you wearing? Not sure if I should get a small or medium being 5'9 with slightly long arms. Leaning towards a small though
I'm 5'8". If I were you I'd go with a medium because of the layering you'd eventually do.
that voice though ... quite something
right... who the hell talks like that lol
Sounds normal to me
Ha, I thought same. And is model voice one and the same?
Serrie Lu that’s what I asked my boyfriend and we couldn’t figure it out lol.
3 bills for a “layer”? Insane...
And that's ALL it is a layer. With that in mind, it's a good layer. It would be close to "perfect" if it had pit-zips but then they would have wanted $375.00. I prefer synthetics to down on everything but over me when I'm sleeping.
What's the name of the Patagonia fleece sweater you got on?
Better sweater
I’m more interested in your fleece jacket!
Find both a tank top and a long sleeve shirt made from a good moisture-wicking material rather than a fleece if you do any camping/packing. Stay safe.
I just got the Micro Puff hoody! Now I’m questioning the size I got haha. What size are you wearing (medium?) and how tall are you? Thanks!
I’m 5’9” and I wear a medium.
I have the L and I’m 6’2. It’s definitely a layering jacket.
Thanks! I’m wondering if I should get the medium. I’m about 5’ 8” and I got the small and with the hood up it feels like the shoulders of the jacket are too tight.
Definitely get one size up as you’re bound to layer with sweaters.
Always go larger for layering , et al
There’s nothing like down..
There nothing like wet down either. Synthetics still provide heat retention when they get wet, they just don't mat down like feathers do, and they dry ricki-tick. Down makes great comforters but isn't the answer for wet climates.
Anyone know where to find one of these in a small for under $100?
Patagucci
Is that jacket O.K for spring weather ? like 5-10 degree.
I’m still wearing it when it is under 55 degrees Fahrenheit here in NYC.
Do these puffy jackets actually keep u warm?
The Malay-American Guy yes I own one and it’s surreal with how light it is. Any down or synthetic will be warmer than another off technology out there.
If you got money, want to layer and if you don’t have a jacket.
Yes
If you already have a jacket, no(unless you want to donate/sell the one you have rn) save the environment by not buying the jacket.
Daves a frugal boy. But is works really well as one of my layers. - photos.app.goo.gl/JpWUQ7vRAw49CeAB7
What’s that fleece from Patagonia?
Its the Performance Better Sweater Jacket
Actually ,in japan, high tech is just status .
what do you think about it?
High tech Can be just status... but it can also be reaching a new level with an old product. Compare Dyneema fabric with canvas... or any other material for waterproofness. Compare a flintlock and a "high tech" sniper rifle. "High Tech" earbuds are status... especially when earphones can be so much better. Sometimes it is simply better.
Does it stink if soaked in urine?
Don’t get a hood if you’re using it for layering under a shell!! Having multiple hoods is super annoying
It’s nice to have with a water/wind proof outer layer that has a hood too though. The hood isn’t really that annoying even when my outer most hood is on
If you have a hardshell jacket with helmet compatible hood you can easily fit another hood inside
scotthunter4 yes but that only works when its not raining or snowing with wet snow. Water on down jacket is no bueno
The micro puff hood is so compressible sometimes I often forget it’s even there, but if I need a cozy plumafill insulated hood it’s always handy.
In Germany 229€... Not so cheap
how does this jacket behave in rainy, but still cold conditions?
GREAT QUESTION !!!
It's water resistant but not waterproof. Any considerable amount of moisture will soak the jacket which is why it's recommended to use a proper waterproof hard shell in rainy conditions.
Poorly since it isn’t a raincoat
What kind of cap is that?
Brooklyn Brewery
Is that a scarf you're wearing throughout the video to cover your mouth? What brand might that be?
It’s a merino wool Buff neck gaiter.
Got one .irs a 🏆 for Patagonia.love it💝😁
Even the cheep puffers use the same fill.
Only 9 oz of weight how much $300
did you mention fit ? or did i miss
typical somewhat boxy patagonia fit imo. Don't get me wrong, I think the jacket looks stylish for outdoor gear, but it's not "slim" fit. When I'm in between a medium and a large, medium fits great.
NORTH FACE GUYS 😆
I’m from Minnesota where below zero is common. Micro puff is a waste of money. I wear t shirt, better sweater and nano puff in -20 degrees. Get a real jacket from Patagonia if you don’t like the cold.
Super expensive.
The website shows a 6' man wearing a size medium. So to layer, would I need to get one size larger?
Its a classic fit so it should have enough room if you stick to your regular size.
Buy it on eBay. Save a few bucks.
Are they not fake?
Just buy from a trusted seller@@madalinnicolae5594
@@madalinnicolae5594 Also, buy used on ebay and still take advantage of (not abuse) their repair/replace policy. Love this company.
what size is it?
medium
I have no problem even dropping $900 on a coat but this is ridiculous
Looking at buying a Patagonia, are they made in china?
The jacket is made in Vietnam and the sweater is made in Sri Lanka.

Thanks for the reply.
Its a jacket and no hoodie
Money aint a problem. But damn 300.

3 season not 4
Summer nights in the desert perhaps..? But you're right, its only 3 seasons.
really uncomfortable to wear pressure on armpits
Pretty sure repairs aren’t free they just offer you the potential to repair you have to pay for it still
It’s completely free at any of their retail stores that have repairs.
too expensive.
Had one for a year the plastic zip is shit
Ah - interesting !
havent patagonia made good onnit ?
Agree, a lot of Patagonia zips are shit, real shame. My shell jacket takes about 5 goes to fasten sometimes
Kinda funny that the hardcore outdoors people don't wear northface, Patagonia, marmot etc. Those brands are what you see at the lodges of ski resorts.
Loved it until the stitching came apart right below the logo. I only had it for 2 weeks.
Never buy another one.
