DESCRIPTION
The Micro Puff Hoody from Patagonia combines ultralight Pertex Quantum shell fabric with PlumaFill insulation, resulting in the best warmth-to-weight ratio of any jacket they've ever created and the highest compressibility of any of their synthetic jackets. It is your go-to insulation piece for mixed (and possibly miserable) cold conditions.
The ultralight, windproof Pertex Quantum shell is made of NetPlus - a 100% postconsumer recycled nylon ripstop that's made from recycled fishing nets to help reduce ocean plastic pollution. With a PFC-free DWR finish (durable water repellent coating that does not contain perfluorinated chemicals) to keep off the rain.
Inside, revolutionary lightweight PlumaFill insulation replicates the structure of down in a continuous synthetic insulation material, offering the warmth and packability of down but with the warm-when-wet performance of synthetic insulation. Its innovative quilting construction complements the insulation by stabilising and maximising the loft of the PlumaFill strands with minimal stitching.
The centre-front zipper has a storm flap and zipper garage at the chin for next-to-skin comfort, the pattern provides high mobility, with a backpack- and harness-compatible fit. Two welted, zippered handwarmer pockets and two internal drop-in pockets - and the left pocket doubles as a stuffsack with a reinforced carabiner clip-in loop. Helmet-compatible hood construction is light and simple and elasticised cuffs and adjustable hem will seal in the warmth.

PROVENANCE AND ETHICS
Patagonia was founded by Yvon Chouinardin 1973, the company's roots are in clothing for rock and alpine climbing, but they now produce a diverse mix of apparel targeted towardsskiers, snowboarders,surfersand climbers. Patagonia are a world leader in creating ethical, sustainable clothing.
NetPlus: To help reduce plastic pollution, Patagonia are finding new ways to turn previously discarded forms of plastic, like fishing nets, into clothes that can be worn for generations. Their partner Bureo collects and transforms these nets from local fishers off the coast of South America - which helps protect wildlife, provide fishing communities with extra income, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels used to make plastic.
Recycled Polyester: Polyester is a naturally water-repellent material that can withstand the elements. Using polyester fibre made from mechanically recycled plastic bottles reduces CO2 emissions, and Patagonia are working toward eliminating all virgin polyester in their products by 2025.
Fair Trade: Patagonia now use more than 20 Fair Trade factories that specialise in the production of outdoor clothing, paying a premium for every Patagonia item that is made in a Fair Trade Certified factory. They actively encourage other brands that do business in those factories to join them in the Fair Trade movement, ensuring living wages within the supply chain.
