Sizing ChartPatagonia Men's Micro Puff Vest
Too many alpine shiver-fests can leave you mumbling incoherently and sporting a thousand-yard stare. Worth more than its weight in gold for core warmth and cold-weather sanity, the Patagonia Micro Puff Vest for Men is a high-loft vest that provides such ultra light, compressible warmth, you won't think twice about throwing it in your pack. Its durable, supremely efficient synthetic insulation (now 100-g PrimaLoft® One) traps heat even when wet, and the DWR (durable water repellent) 100% all-recycled polyester shell (1.5-oz 32-denier; lining is 1.4-oz 22-denier) blocks wind and sheds snow. Pockets: two handwarmers and one interior zippered chest that doubles as a stuff sack (with a carabiner clip-in loop).
- The water-resistant, windproof Men's Micro Puff Vest is superwarm, highly compressible and ideal as core insulation or outerwear in cold climates
- Shell: 1.5-oz 32-denier 100% all-recycled polyester with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish
- Lining: 1.4-oz 22-denier 100% all-recycled polyester with a DWR finish
- Insulation: 100-g PrimaLoft® One
- Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program

john griffin - 2010-02-06Quality Vest
Well made and warm. Runs larger than some--I have about a 41 inch chest and tried a medium in a couple of other brands, but they were too small. Zippers and construction are top-notch. I have a couple of natural down jackets but was glad to get this vest with synthetic loft for better wet weather performance. All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great jacket. Fits true size. Everything Fantastic.
Bridget Reilly - 2009-12-07Good looking vest
I bought this vest for my boyfriend for Christmas and the color is great (I bought the grey) and it fits perfectly. He loves it. It's also very warm and comfortable, he says.
Anonymous - 2009-06-28Excellent build and comfort
The patagonia micro puff vest is light and can be easily packed without taking much space. Yet it is warm enough to wear in Texas winter and not too warm for a chilly spring or fall night.
Anonymous - 2009-04-04Great Vest
This vest is really versatile and works over all 4 seasons. You can layer it and it compresses really well for either travel or backpacking. One of my favorite pieces of outdoor clothing.
Anonymous - 2009-03-30Great everyday vest
I haven't had a chance to get this onto the trail yet, but I've really enjoyed wearing it for everyday purposes. It is super light, and very warm. I love the inside "stuff sack" pocket. All three of the pockets are huge.
Anonymous - 2009-02-08Quality product
Material is warm and light, still insulative when wet. Great choice for packing as it compresses really well. Fit was true to size and zippers/seams/sewing were all top notch. Get it!
Katie Callaghan - 2008-12-29Runs a little wide
I really like this vest. Bought it for my husband - he usually wears a XL but I think this vest runs kind of wide. It seems true to size in the length. I exchanged it for the L and both the large and x-large seem about the same in the length. Hope that is helpful!
mohsen khodayari - 2008-09-29Light weight, well made and warm
It is a great layer for cool windy days for hiking and other outdoor activities.
Anonymous - 2008-03-24Patagonia Micro Puff Vest
An awesome vest! Super light and pack into the inside pocket to about the size of a grapefruit. Really warm, you can layer it with anything......over a flannel shirt around town or a baselayer for active sports. Highly recommended and it's "green" with pretty much all recycled materials.
Nick - 2008-03-04The Perfect Vest?
I am fully satisfied with my purchase here. The vest is great. Its warm, packs down small, semi-windproof, and looks great. I have been wearing a fleece, the vest, and a shell for skiing. I plan on using it in the summer for backpacking, because it packs down to the size of a can of fuel.
Anonymous - 2008-02-26super warm, light and compressible
I skiied in sub-zero blizzard conditions with nothing but a base layer and this vest and I actually had to open the pit zips on my shell at times because the vest kept me so warm. I would recommend it to anyone.
Nick F. - 2008-02-22perfect layer
Lightweight and compressible for stashing in a pack. Provided excellent core warmth.
Anonymous - 2008-02-13patagonia micro vest
Excellent warmth! This is my second one and I wear them anywhere with just a light fleece under and stay warm.. highly recommend, great for outdoor sports in the midwest
Marc Garlett - 2006-09-19weight to warmth ratio can't be beat
I purchased the Micro Puff Vest for a hike across England along Hadrian's wall. I never needed it. It was my extra (and essential) layer of core warmth in case I got stuck and had to spend the night on the trail. It was security, really, and the lightweight made it well worth it -- the large weighed in at 7.4 ounces. I layed over in Iceland for a few days on my return to the U.S. The temperatures were much colder and I wore the vest each evening while exploring. I had a base layer and 100 weight polartec fleece under the vest, and a waterproof/windproof shell over it. It did the trick and I stayed nice and warm. I am a bit of an extremist when it comes to weight. I try to leave at home anything that is not absolutely necessary on my backpacking trips. I do believe, however, that an extra (emergency) layer of core warmth IS necessary (you may never need it... but if you do, you'll be damn glad to have it). The Micro Puff Vest serves this function well, weighs in at only a couple of ounces more than my capaline base layer, and packs down nice and small. It is now an integral part of my gear list for even the simplest hiking expeditions.
Anonymous - 2006-08-21crazy small and lightweight
what can I say? small, compressible, lightweight, warm... it's all been said before... great vest!
John Beckman - 2006-05-17great little layering piece
lightweight, compresses very small; great to carry as an extra layer for mountaineering, lift skiing, or whatever
Sandra Shilling - 2005-10-19Yeah Patagonia
I have several patagonia puffball vests -- this one I bought x large to fit over jackets and such -- it is wonderful -- stuffs into its on pocket --- would love to get it in another color.
Sandra Shilling - 2005-10-18light and warm
I love all patagonia products -- this is just another excellent vest -- very light weight and warm -- dries quick and keeps you warm even when wet. Stuffs into its own pocket -- a must have

Anonymous - 2005-05-29Featherweight Warmth
I thought the box from Altrec was empty. Inside was a puffy powerhouse of core minimalist warmth. This vest is the design I was seeking - no frills torso cold protection for wearing under my shell jacket. A pullover with no pockets or zippers-just a few snaps-it stuffs beautifully into it's own built in stuffsack...just the insurance I needed for cooler nights.
Manuel Ceja - 2005-05-27Light weight, breathable, good warmth, & great fit
The material selection is great, it is a very lightweight ripstop nylon, which makes it very breathable.
I've used it at base camp in high 30 deg F weather, with on ly a long sleeve shirt on and was toasty warm.
The front has a deep V-neck with 5 snap buttons, and there is an inside napolean pocket that turns into a reversible storage pocket for the vest.
The fit is just right. It is form fitting but generous enough to allow for a base layer and a low pile insulation layer. The vest itself is not very bulky and should layer well with your outer shell.
The vest material is super slick so it makes taking the vest on & off a breeze. It has a long hem so it provides good back coverage, with a snug elastic hem that will not ride up your back.
I use it everywhere: in the house, around town, at work - It is a great investment - designed and built with Patagonia's top notch quality, and warranty. I highly recommend it.
chadri Chinalai - 2009-12-21great vest but issues with size
It is such a shame to me because in so many ways, this is the perfect vest. unfortunately i am right in between two sizes, m & l.
I bought a large and i was floating in it. I returned it and bought a medium and it's a bit snug. the main problem with the medium is that it's way too short. I am bout 6'1" and relatively thin. i wish the large catered to a smaller size group.
anyway about the vest. It's awesome. Warm when you need warmth and light when you're comfortable. I wear it outside with layers and i wear it around the house all the time. Great overall product. i wish i could have one custom made for me!
Adam Champy - 2009-07-05Fits great over layers, needs stuff sack
The long sleeve version has another stuff sack - which makes it much more convenient to pack in my view than the pocket. The vest is warm though, but it could be warmer - not nearly as "puffy" as down - it dries quickly at least in a strong alaska summer sun
John McKee - 2008-04-12Overall very nice
Light, warm, packable - a lot of flexibility. My only issue is not too major, but the vest does not fit very close - a bit baggy. Overall still happy with the purchase
Anonymous - 2008-01-20Light and warm
Warm for its weight but fragile fabric.
GRL - 2006-04-07Good light weight body core insulation.
Very light weight. Compresess into small pocket. Good weight to warmth and bulk ratio. Has a regular, non-athletic fit so that can wear over other layers easily. Not as warm as the Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover. If looking for more warmth in cold environment, try the Pullover.
