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.
