Stop wearing down that dies when wet.

Cheap fleeces or faux-down jackets lose loft after a wash and fail in rain. Patagonia's Primaloft insulation stays warm when damp and packs tiny.
The Buy-Once Math
A $50 budget jacket lasts a season and looks baggy. The Nano Puff lasts years, backed by Patagonia's free repair program—you'll pay less per wear than any disposable layer.
