Patagonia Micro Puff Hoody wearers: How's the warmth holding up?

See next post (not sure if the first post editing issue has been resolved yet).

By now some including RJ have had their Patagonia Micro Puff Hoodies for a year, sufficient time to get a sense of how the loft/warmth is holding up. Appreciate any feedback on how the warmth is holding up and how often you’ve worn and packed and unpacked it? After 6 months to a year’s use, how many ounce 800FP down jacket would you now equate it to, or could you please compare it to a known down jacket)?

I owned one for a few months last fall into winter and sold it. I didn’t find it very warm. Lighter than my nano puff, but no where near as warm.

No idea.  After the review, I became paranoid about compressing it and went back to my down jacket for backpacking. I wear the Micropuff around town, it is indeed warm.  Just seems to be too fragile to take on a trip because of the compression issue.  Maybe that is the wrong approach, but the down works fine.

I bought one and tried it at home for a bit. It just didn’t seem that lofty or warm. I returned it and got an Enlightened Equipment Torrid hoody in 7d. Lighter, warmer, better. No idea on loft durability for either jacket.
