the subject line says it all. I'm assuming my nano-puff if warmer. Both the nano and smart wool come in at about the same weight on my scales. I'm taking my nano-puff instead of my smartwool on a trip tomorrow unless someone gets back to me asap that the reverse is true!

my nanopuff keeps me warm down to 40 sitting around with with a light baselayer underneath.
the nano is much warmer
May 1, 2012 at 6:34 pm #1873271Thanks Adam; that's my first opinion too. However, either my nano or the smartwool will be worn after hiking around camp as a layer beneath my shell, so wind won't be a factor. Now what say you?
May 1, 2012 at 6:47 pm #1873279The Nano puff, no question. (And I do have both.)
May 1, 2012 at 8:30 pm #1873329Thanks, Sumi. Nano it is!
