Patagonia Nano-Air Light Vest - Men's

Light, breathable Nano-Air Light Vest delivers active warmth for everyday wear and movement

The Nano-Air Light Vest is built from recycled ripstop polyester with a DWR finish made without intentionally added PFAS, so warmth doesn't rely on a chemical shortcut. FullRange insulation, also made from recycled polyester, delivers lightweight warmth that breathes instead of trapping heat as conditions shift.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I feel the ripstop dump heat the second I push the pace, then hold it again the moment I slow down to catch my breath. The insulation stretches with every reach on a scramble, so it never feels like it's fighting me."

Inside The Nano-Air

Match The Weight To The Day

Nano-Air's FullRange insulation comes in three weights, 20 to 60 grams, matched to how hard the day is working the body.

Durable Water Repellent Finish

Resists light moisture, without intentionally added PFAS.

Lightweight Features

Tuned For Comfort

FullRange insulation holds body heat while letting excess heat escape through the outer fabric. A microtextured liner pulls moisture off the skin and dries fast, keeping the layer from feeling wet or clammy through changes in effort.

Nano-Air Light

Steady warmth for cold-condition days spent moving at a steady pace. Twenty-gram FullRange insulation under the arms manages heat where the body runs hottest, so the layer stays on through changes in effort.
