I’ve been sporting a Superstrand this Fall/Winter…. love it.

I’ve had the Torrid and the Micro Puff and I prefer the Torrid. The Micro Puff is a bit less delicate, but I’m pretty gentle with my gear so that’s not a concern of mine. The Torrid weighs significantly less in the same size without any noticeable decrease in warmth. They both fit about the same.

The only synthetic fill jacket I have is the Micro Puff Hoody. Mine is a size M and weighs 9.9 oz’s. I really like it, but JGH’s recommendation is really something I’d listen to given he’s had both. The Torrid’s price is better too.

I am now on my 2nd of both Torrid (added hood on 2nd) and Patagonia closest weight “puff”.  Started with an older “puff” and switched to Torrid when puff became worn. Both my Torrids are lighter and, for me, warmer, and it’s the only one I take on trail now. My 2nd Patagonia is for around town, for keeping down family comments on styling.

Ditto. The Patagonia Micro Puff is a good looking jacket, so I wear mine around town, too.

I own both Micro Puff and Torrid. I would say the Torrid is a bit warmer. The MP packs smallish, is pretty darn stylish IMO and is my go to town jacket. With an R1 Air under its very comfortable static in the 20’s F.
