The Patagonia Nano Air UL is one of the lightest insulated jackets available, offering a fun mix of breathability and warmth for those high-output days. It's become a favorite of the Better Trail testing team for shoulder season running, mountain movement, and climbing, sometimes even replacing the wind jacket in our kit.
