Patagonia Nano Air Ultralight Preview - New For 2025 

Hello! 👋 if you liked the R1 tech face, then you will love this. It’s even light, packs up well. And moves with your body. Love it! Cheers!

That sounds like a great setup, and very versatile! Incredibly light weight too. I am trying to wrap my head around the combo being only 5.15oz.

@@Engearment My combo is a Senchi Wren hoody at 94.8g (this is now called the Senchi Alpha 60 - the earlier version called the Wren was a bit lighter) . My wind shirt is a custom Enlightened Equipment Copperfield in the 7D option which weighs 51.1g a super breathable and, so far, surprisingly durable piece (for hiking though, not climbing!).

@@Engearment I’m guessing the 5.15oz total for both of the described pieces are not men’s XL. I have a Senchi 60, and a Dooy wind shirt combo, both in men’s XL, and the combo weighs 7.22oz (4.33 Senchi, 2.89 Dooy). Still super light and, yes, more versatile than the Patagonia. Even more versatile is my Senchi 60 and Montbell Versalite though. For not much more weight (11.24oz total) it works in wind AND rain. I do really want to see if this is as comfortable as the normal Nano Air though, as it’s my favorite single jacket I own in terms of comfort. I’ll be annoyed by the lack of pockets, but otherwise it should be nice. Does it feel like the Airshed Pro on the exterior? If so, then my Senchi 60/Airshed Pro combo might be preferred over this.

My pleasure! I think you climbers are really going to like this jacket. Thanks for the nice note.

Thank you! 🙏

I had that one! Such a great piece! I can ask Patagonia for you. Classic 😎 Cheers!!

The Nano-Air Light Hoody is by far my favourite piece of outdoor clothing. Period. I regret not having purchased two back when it was still available.

@@ignaciolopezquintas9499 I’ve seen a couple on the Worn Wear store this yeah fyi!

Heck yea! 😎🙌

Great question! I am going to do a head to head video here soon. But basically, this one is lighter, more packable, not as warm yet more wind resistant (in the back area). Making it great for all around use. I think the hybrid will be better for cold 15-30F activity with a pack on. But I will report back on that as soon as temps drop. Take care!

Right?!? Just put it on my tab 😆

Great questions! I agree with the awkward fit on gen 2. And that 60g is a bit much for what I like in the winter (touring). I hope this face fabric stands up. It feels very nice. The inner cuffs might make a big difference on the durability. We shall see… 😎 But overall, I am a bit obsessed with this jacket 😆. Wearing it now at 10,200ft while hiking around. It’s perfect for this. Take care!

Good comparison! I like it! The fit is SO clutch. Glad you can appreciate that too. We will be testing out the Proton here soon.

You are the best, Paul! And great question. I love the R1 tech face too. Such a good piece. I picked up two of them just to make sure I always have one 😆 I like this one as it plays nicely with layers (as it is smooth texture) and packs up smaller. You may appreciate that angle as well. 😎

Thanks, my brother, great info, hoping it comes in January 🙂!

LOL. Well played
