Help! Which is the better deal? The Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover for $99 or the MontBell U.L. Thermawrap Action Jacket for $75? I'd rather have a Cocoon UL 60 pullover, but I can't afford one.
Feb 11, 2008 at 12:01 pm #1420143The Thermawrap is my most used piece of insulated gear, very lightweight and layers well with my other clothing. I would start with the Thermawrap unless you plan to spend a lot of time in colder weather, say <30 degrees. Then the greater warmth/weight ratio of the Micropuff might prove more valuable to you. It depends on your needs, they are both really fine jackets.
Feb 11, 2008 at 12:59 pm #1420147Andrew, I would use it almost entirely from late spring to early fall, mostly in the Rockies and Tetons. I want it to pull double duty supplementing a synthetic quilt, e.g., a BPL UL 180 Quilt or Fanatic Fringe Ultralight 30 Deg Quilt.
Feb 11, 2008 at 1:13 pm #1420148Fit might be another factor to look at. The Thermawrap parka is cut a little tighter in the hips than the MicroPuff parka. I don't know if the fit is the same in their vest lines.

They just sold out at the US Parks :( for the $99 ones
but they do have the newest ones only in the XL in green and XL in Spark on sale for $109 till Feb 12 only!
Feb 11, 2008 at 5:54 pm #1420205FYI you can get the micropuff direct from patagonia for 82$ + shipping. Promo codes might be available if you take the time to google for them
Feb 12, 2008 at 8:08 am #1420279Where is the $75 one at?
