Womens Nano Puff Vest

Originally built for climbers, the Women’s Nano Puff Vest quickly earned a spot everywhere else, too. It’s lightweight, easy to pack, and reliably warm, even when conditions turn damp, making it a go-to layer for just about any adventure (or everyday outing).

The women’s-specific fit is designed to move with you, with improved comfort through the shoulders and armholes and a slightly longer length that layers easily. Inside, 60-gram PrimaLoft Gold Insulation Eco delivers cosy warmth without the bulk and keeps insulating when wet. The shell and lining are made from 100% recycled polyester with a water-repellent finish (no intentionally added PFAS) to help brush off light moisture.

Signature quilting keeps the insulation in place while maintaining a sleek, low-profile look that works just as well on its own as it does under a shell. Soft details like the wicking zipper storm flap and chin guard keep things comfortable next to skin.

Two zippered handwarmer pockets and a secure internal chest pocket hold the essentials, and the internal chest pocket doubles as a stuffsack with a carabiner clip-in loop for easy packing. A drawcord-adjustable drop-tail hem helps seal in warmth, and it’s made in a Fair Trade Certified  factory, so it feels good in more ways than one.
