What are your thoughts looking at the specs here? Looking for an insulation layer for AT thru hike and thinking about abandoning the nano puff for this. What experience do you guys have with insulation layer with fleece gussets on the side…pros, cons? Thanks!
Patagonia also just released a new synthetic jacket, the Nano-Air
both of those pieces are more like "next generation" fleeces…designed as midlayers in active (and cold) situations.
not really the use case for the a.t
i imagine you'd want a more traditional insulating piece for when you're around camp/sleeping.
that could be down or synthetic, but everything that's been on the market up to this point is going to provide better warmth to weight performance.
Go for the Rab Xenon. They have the Xenon X (20D) now, but my Xenon is the one with the thinner Pertex Quantum GL (10D IIRC ) and medium comes in at 10oz, with 60 g/m2 Primaloft One. It has no quilting so very little sewn through seams for heat loss and the insulation retains maximum loft.
