Old vs. New: Patagonia's Revamped Vision for Iconic Brand Staples

This fall, Patagonia introduced new and improved versions of their Nano Puff and R1 Air lines. These items have been a closet staple for many outdoor enthusiasts and jacket lovers for years. Made with Patagonia's commitment to the environment and product longevity, the Nano Puff and R1 lines have risen to the status of icon throughout the years. These durable items are an investment in quality and functionality, sure to stay in your outdoor gear lineup for years to come!

Maine Sport Outfitters describes these pieces as a multifunctional in-between-seasons item, best for fall or spring but can also be utilized as layering pieces during those cold winter months. 

Nano Puff:

Patagonia's Nano Puff line includes three staples: the Hoody, the Jacket, and the Vest. All three are known for their lightweight packability and incredible performance as a mid-layer or as an in-between-season piece. Each piece is windproof, water-repellent, and packed with 60 gram PrimaLoft Gold Insulation that keeps you warm when it gets wet.The new and improved Nano Puff line boasts a different, slimmer fit that allows for layering underneath without the bulk. It has lengthened shoulders and more elbow room in order to improve mobility. The pieces are now made with 100% recycled ripstop polyester that feels softer to the touch. Durable abrasion resistant thread is used for the stitching to keep the insulation in place within the new and improved quilted pattern.

R1 Air:

The R1 Air line is Patagonia's most breathable technical fleece out of the R1 family. Its fabric is lightweight, highly breathable, and comes in a suite of various styles: the Hoody, the Jacket, the Zip Neck, the Crew, and the Vest. The 100% recycled polyester and hollow-core yarn is moisture-wicking and dries fast and is made to vent out extra warmth you don't need on chilly days.The upgraded line includes wider sleeves and a more relaxed fit in order to improve mobility during activities. The Hoody has a redesigned hood that now layers comfortably under helmets or other hoods if used as a mid-layer piece.
