Women's Nano Puff Hoody
I bought two for two different women hikers. Both said “I love this coat!”. The medium is a perfect fit for both ladies. One said she had been looking for a coat just like this in the grey color in local stores, but couldn’t find it. She went on a 6-mile hike in February and said it kept her at a perfect temperature. The other said the elastic hood fits perfectly - keeps the hood on without being too tight or too loose. Her daughter wants to borrow it for a ski trip. After wearing it, both had the same exclamation: “I love this coat!” Apparently, for at least two, and maybe three, women, the Patagonia Nano Puff Hoody is a winner.
The zipper doesn’t work!!
