Apparently, the Patagonia Nano Puff is lighter but I have not had one for myself to compare. The lightweight build of this jacket is a triumph of design and synthetic engineering.
The only other jackets that I have ever come across that feel as light are waterproof kagools (you know, the plasticy ones that blow away in the wind). Honestly, I have worn this around my waist when out walking and hardly noticed it and I have chucked it into my backpack and it does not seem to add any weight whatsoever. The men’s jacket weighs just 9.5 oz (270 g) which feels like nothing. This jacket feels light as hell to wear, and to carry in a backpack.
