I have so many Patagonia jackets that when I was looking for a lighter insulated jacket I tried to find one that wasn't Patagonia. After trying multiple jackets from other brands, I came full circle back to the Nano Puff. It's light, warm and fits well. Because it's thin, it layers well under shells and winter coats. I'll never leave you again Patagonia!

I was pretty excited when I got the bottle. It comes with an instruction booklet that I actually found myself reading! For a bottle! So far it's been working fine, but is it better than any of my other insulated bottles? Probably not. The design is nice and minimalistic. The three included caps are kind of neat. The silver color is actually more of a platinum and in darker lighting conditions, appears almost champagne. I actually prefer non-painted insulated bottles due to the tendency for the scratches to show up easier on the paint. The sipping lid is a simple design which is great for cleaning. A cool feature is that it can hold a can of soda, but that also makes the bottle too big to fit in my car's cup holder. That makes it impractical for my daily commuting mug. Overall it seems to be a well made insulated bottle (made in Japan), but due to the inability to fit in a cup holder and the price, it loses a star.
