 They both are windproof to an extent with the shell and also can repel water due to the Dwr finish. Now let's look a little bit more in depth at the differences between the two jackets. Starting with the shell fabric, the torad apex here has an ultra light nylon fabric that features a Dwr finish so it can repel water to an extent. Now, the tord apex is actually pretty unique in this regard in that you can customize the denier of the jacket so you can go 7 to near, 10 to near or 20 denier on the outside

 The one here that I have is the non-hooded version, but this jacket is popular amongst avid backpackers as well because it is synthetic so it does well in wet conditions. but it also provides one of the best warmth to weight ratios that Patagonia makes out of all their jackets. Looking at these two jackets, we do find a lot of similarities between them. They both are lightweight and compressible

 Today we are looking at two very popular ultra lightweight puffy jacket options for hiking and backpacking. The first one being the Enlightened Equipment Toured Apex jacket, the second being the Patagonia Micro Puff. Both these jackets are super popular for hikers. They're also ultra lightweight

 It does a better job at actually reflecting out that wind so it doesn't penetrate through, and so if you have sheets of insulation throughout and so it keeps you nice and warm and toasty even when you're sitting still at the campsite. Now, let's consider the cons. The first con for me is that this is a little bit bulky of a jacket. It's not the slim fit or the trim fit like the micro puff can be

Enlightened Equipment Torrid Apex Vs. Patagonia Micro Puff Jacket Battle | Gear review

Cheap Fleece: Eddie Bauer 1/4 zip Cloud, its like $40-50 and 5.5oz. Puffy: Torrid Apex for 7-9oz, extremely warm for its weight.

**Location/temp range/specific trip description:**

PCT starting May 10th at Campo. Heading NOBO to the Canadian boarder.

**Goal Baseweight (BPW):**

I don't really have one, just looking to cut down as much weight as possible within my price range.

**Budget:**

$1500. Ideally I'd like to be well under this budget but I understand that quality lightweight gear is often expensive.

**Non-negotiable Items:**

A stove for warm meals

**Solo or with another person?** 

Solo

**Clothing Options:**

I still need to buy most of my clothing for this trip. I'd appreciate some budget friendly options for all of my clothes but especially the following:

* Fleece Hoodie
* Puffy Jacket w/ hood
* wind/rain pants

**Additional Information:**

* I already own the items marked with a green star, I'm open to replacing them with lighter options but I do not have a ton of money to spend.
* I've heard that some people have durability issues with the CNOC Vecto 2L, I've used it on a few short trips and it has worked great but I'd appreciate feedback from someone with more experience.
* For backpacks I'm debating between the Osprey Exos 48 and the Osprey Levity 45. I've used an Osprey backpack for a long time and have loved their fit and warranty. I'm open to non-Osprey suggestions though.
* I'm going to use a long sleeve hiking shirt in the desert for sun protection but I'm not sure about how to best protect my legs. Wind pants maybe?
* This is my first thru hike and I'd appreciate any advice you can give me.

2021 PCT Shakedown Request

I've been looking at the new EE Torrid Pullover (inside 7d, outside 10d). Seems to make sense in the weight department and also for layering with the visp.

Switchback Travel

As we touched on above, down wins out in warmth and loft, but synthetic insulation breathes better, dries quicker, and is cheaper. One of our favorite synthetic-insulated vests on the market is the Nano Puff from Patagonia, which also comes in a very popular full jacket version (as do most other vests on this list). This Nano Puff Vest is sleek and versatile: It’s decently warm, light, packs down small, and looks the part for both casual and active use. It’s also less expensive than a comparable down vest and noticeably lower-profile.

What are the downsides of the Patagonia Nano Puff Vest? The PrimaLoft Gold Eco insulation is pretty darn warm but not to the same degree as down, so this vest isn’t built for frigid conditions (it’s ideal for fall, spring, and as a layering piece). And the current model is slimmer than past versions, so you may want to consider sizing up if you’re on the border or plan on wearing the vest over bulky layers. But for an active vest with tons of everyday appeal, you can’t beat the Nano Puff.See the Men's Patagonia Nano Puff  See the Women's Patagonia Nano Puff

 I'm doing some climb in with some kids coming up from. Mount Vernon in a bit I'm actually waiting for them now and excited to shoot this video and supposedly 80 degrees by the time lunch time comes around, so it's a good pass you wear this in the morning I set up the climbing equipment in the back that's wearing this in the woods and for the rest of the day when it gets warm, this thing stops right into the chest pocket there and I'm not wearing my climbing harness but if I was I would clip this to my climbing harness. So after my students leave and I'm braking on the climbing site and it's after dark. whatever

 I could just put this back on or whatever so it has a little Clippy thing if you clip it to your harness. I'm not wearing my climbing harness now but comes out real easy. Just like that it's super lightweight. Two things: Don't even wait more than a few ounces so it's really lightweight

 It's not bulky at all and it's really, really warm. Today it's like 60 about 50 degrees in the morning. I'm doing some climb in with some kids coming up from.

 I know best like best items like these, you get like the big armpit hole where air or a cold air could get in. But what I like about this as well is that it's thin enough to layer underneath something that's bigger and it doesn't. It's not bulky at all and it's really, really warm.

Patagonia Nano Puff Vest Reviewed!

*Comfort: Good stretch. The cuffs are nicely designed to form a tight seal while allowing some extra fabric to hang over, which adds to the casual style. 

*Warmth and range: With a midweight long sleeve shirt underneath, I'm comfortable in the high 30s/lower 40s (F), and with a fleece underneath, you can go much lower. I live in northern New England and was able to forgo my heavy winter coat for this combination for most of last winter. On the flip side, with a t-shirt underneath, I'm comfortable in the low 60s (F).

It’s pieces like this and the Shelter from the Storm that keep me invested in the brand and motivates me to write a nearly 3000-word long manifesto about some jacket that I like to wear for internet randos to read.

 I had planned to stay the weekend in SF and was already going to fly there that day, but I would be needed in Boston next Tuesday and of course I didn’t have anything packed for the cold...

Putting it on for the first time in months last fall when temperatures finally reached the 50s and 60s after a hot and humid Georgia summer felt like coming home to a warm hug. And that’s what really stands out to me most with the jacket: the

Of course all this tactile comfort would be a moot point if the jacket was too warm/not warm enough to comfortably wear in a variety of situations, which is where the zips come in (you can see all the zips in action [in this clip here]([URL REMOVED] All the zips coming together make the normally very warm jacket surprisingly comfortable in a wide temperature range, which is essential for my use cases.

Patagonia® Men's Nano Puff® Vest

What are your experiences with the durability of this jacket? I care for the things I own but I don’t believe I should have to baby the jacket for the price of it.

The problem - I question the durability of the outer shell. I’ve already got abrasions on the pockets and at the bottom of the jacket somehow the edge has worn through and some fill is coming out.

 I also down graded one star for lightweightedness. I have had nano puff's in past and they had more volume.

I'm 5' 10" and weigh 175.  I have had loads of Patagonia jackets and vests. This is the first one I am returning for size.  Medium was tight

Nice look but runs small

 So We do have a little bit of elasticity on the arm ports there. They are just going to help to seal in that warm air and keep the drafts out while still allowing you to move very freely. And We do have a draw cord hem as well,, so on the right hand side we have got a little draw cord toggle here. And You can cinch that hem down so the vest won’t ride up on you if you are climbing, if you are backpacking or anything like that, so nice fit enhancements there

 It is the lightest weight and most compressible insulation of-fered by Primaloft, so it keeps you super warm without weighing you down. To Stabilize that insulation. We have got Patagonia’s iconic brick quilting, so the Nano Puff here has really good insulation and it stays throughout the entire piece, so it keeps you nice and toasty warm. Some Of the other features on the vest include two hand pockets, so we have got two zippered hand warmer pockets, pretty sizable pockets, you can store some items in or just keep your hands warm if you are not wearing gloves
