Ultra-light, compressible and warm, the Patagonia Micro Puff Vest is your most valuable weather arsenal for keeping your core firing and maintaining your cold-weather sanity. When it comes to alpine shiver-fests and incoherent mumbling, it's a no-brainer to throw this high-loft vest into your pack to ward off the zombies. Designed with durable and amazingly efficient 100-g PrimaLoft One synthetic insulation, the Puff Vest traps heat even when wet, while its DWR (durable water repellent) 100% all-recycled polyester shell (1.5-oz 32-denier; lining is 1.4-oz 22-denier) blocks wind and sheds snow. Two hand-warmer and one interior zippered chest pocket that doubles as a stuff sack (with a carabiner clip-in loop) offer convenient storage for essentials. This Patagonia vest is recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

It is warm though is thin
The first impression to this vest of me was very light and was thin. So, I was worried whether I was able to keep warmth by this. However, it ended in imaginary fears. Because this vest is not bulky even if it puts on the jacket and the coat under, it is very useful. I am convinced that this vest can be worn long.

solid purchase
I've used this product mostly as a midlayer or over a long sleeve t-shirt. It is warm and breathable but not too hot. The fit is true to size - I had tried the Patagonia down vest but the fit was too tight. Seems to be very durable but I have only worn it for a couple of months. I have other items from Patagonia and they have all held up very well. Very happy with purchase - would highly recommend.

Great versatile jacket
This vest is warm, but breathes. Since it is not too thick it is great for layering and keeps your core warm. The fit may slightly big, it was a little bigger than older medium jackets I have from Patagonia.

Great Vest
I love this vest, got it to replace a standard fleece vest. Nice performance fit even though it's says regular fit. I think it is somewhere between regular and a climbing fit. I'm 6'2 185 and large was right on, and long enough. Zips into it's own pocket for easy packing. Very warm for it's light weight. Appears to be good quality. Only concern with any outerwear of this material is durability, I can see it easily getting picked or torn on something sharp. Overall, awesome! and the bonus was I caught it on sale!

Equipment not clothing
This vest should be sold as gear, not clothing. Since I got it, I've worn it constantly. We have had a cold winter so under a windbreaker it is perfect for cross country skiing. Since it is windproof, it is that much better. Under a shell it is just right for some added warmth on the slopes. Feather light, you hardly know it is on. As a bonus, the fabric doesn't stain; it washed out well. Take my word for it, don't forget it is on and work on your car. I can't say how long it will last but the few other Patagonia items I own last for ever.
