The Micro Puff Hoody: Patagonia's lightest, most packable insulated jacket ever.

It all adds up to nothing.

The Micro Puff™ Hoody is our lightest, most packable insulated jacket ever.

It took us nearly a decade to reimagine insulation, but we're pretty happy with the result—a jacket as impressively warm, light and packable as down, but that stays warm even when wet.

  • The best warmth-to-weight ratio of any jacket we've ever created
  • More compressible than any synthetic jacket we've ever made
  • Feels like down
  • Insulates even when wet
  • Shows exceptional resiliency and loft retention after washing
  • Unique construction prevents shifting, clumping or cold spots for the life of the garment
