The peripatetic climbers and skiers of the world count good high-loft insulation right alongside chili-mac and a working heater as road-trip essentials. The Patagonia Micro Puff Jacket for Women is built with a tough, windproof and DWR (durable water repellent) polyester shell (1.5-oz 32-denier; lining is 1.4-oz 22-denier) that houses 100-g PrimaLoft One, a truly warm-when-wet, highly compressible synthetic-insulation that's quilted so it won't clump, separate or drift. The shell and lining are made with 100% all-recycled polyester. Other features: quilted side panels to add feminine shaping, a drawcord hem, two invisible zippered handwarmer pockets and two internal pockets (one zippered, one drop-in). Articulated elbows. Stuff sack included.

I love this jacket!
After getting the micropuff for my son for 3 years, I finally got one for myself and I love it. I live in Colorado and I use it 3 seasons a year. My only complaint is a little bit of fraying along the cuff. The fit is a more fitted. I am a petite 5'2" and I got the small. Most of my jackets from Patagonia are also small.

great jacket but prefer the nano
I ordered this jacket and thought the appearance and fit was excellent but ultimately returned it in favor of the nano puff jacket. I felt like the micro and nano provided similar warmth and since the nano is way lighter I decided to go with it instead of the micro. With that being said, it was difficult to send back because the fit was great and the color (I ordered the blue) was beautiful.

Yummy jacket
The Micro Puff is great: incredibly lightweight, warm, and fashionable. The sleeves area a bit long but everything else is perfect. I'm 5'2" and under 100 lbs.; the cream color is lovely and it's like wearing "nothing." The diamond-pattern design is attractive and doesn't make me look "puffy," as many down jackets do. I love it. It's expensive, but I think Patagonia is worth it.

Best travel jacket
I am 5'5"/115 and wear a size 2, and the extra small is perfect! I live in Houston, TX , and while it is not extremely cold, the nights can get very chilly and windy, especially when watching my son on a baseball or track field. This jacket is perfect for that! I wanted a jacket that did not look too puffy or "wintery" for our spring nights and this is THE jacket. I am very cold natured, so I would not use this as my only winter coat. I also wanted a nice travel jacket, and this looks very nice and stylish to take me anywhere I choose to go! I loved the jacket so much that I ordered one for my husband--and Altrec sent it in 3 days!!! I ordered him the nano puff as he is more hot- natured, but he, also, has been very chilly through his sweat shirt while on the baseball field.

lightweight warmth
This jacket is very well made, and I love the color. I'm 5'8'', 145 lb, and got the large. It does run large, so I am trying to get a medium. In this brand, and many brands, I can be either medium or large. Need something suitable for travel, and this is both light and compactable.
