Patagonia Micro Puff Pants Review By the Everest GearGal

The lightweight shell fabric is manufactured using 1oz 20x20 denier mini-ripstop nylon; it is durable with reinforced knees and seat (1.8oz, 40x40 denier dobby-weave). The shell is windproof and water-repellent due to the Deluge® DWR finish. It won’t keep you dry during a down poor but the Polarguard Delta high-loft insulation will retain it’s warmth even when wet. However, it is best to have a base layer underneath, as the nylon will get clammy if next to the skin.

The Polarguard high-loft insulation is soft and compressible, it is like wrapping your legs in a summer weight sleeping bag. Other features include fully separating, two-way side zips, articulate knees and cuffs and a zipper fly. The waistband is elastic with gripper elastic in the back accompanied by hook and loop adjustment tabs.

This is a great lightweight and easy to store, insulating layer. The Micro Puff pant fits into any backcountry expedition, from backpacking, climbing, riding to a warm-up layer at base camp. We also recommend the Micro Puff Pullover by Patagonia, all the same great features in a jacket.  

Built to handle a myriad of different climbing pursuits, the Ultralight Universal is our best selling crampon. This crampon lives for trekking, glacier travel, or steep couloirs and snowfields. Totally adjustable Zytel straps make this crampon durable and easy to use. Fits everything from moon boots to flip-flops, our lightest crampon available. Weight: 590g Points: 10. See more here.
