Update more places have them on sale, but heard through a retailer who deals mostly in Patagonia clothing that the Micropuff is likely going to be discontinued.

The Micropuff is back but looks like it gained some water resistance.. and a little weight. Think my last years version was 8 oz in the hoody and now I’m seeing 10 oz in the new specs. Well the new may be better for bad shoulder season weather (just for my last year’s soaked).

I replaced my "museum grade" Micro Puff with a Macro Puff. I am 15 years older and need a bit puffier for three-season Rockies mornings. Warning, the Macro Puff is hideously overpriced. I got mine in Patagonia Worn Wear about half new, $200 US. too lazy right now to look up the correct fill name a the time of it's construction. It is 75 grams heavier and a bit longer. Makes a decent winter layer under a parka shell.

I've been looking to upgrade my midlayer insulation with breathability in mind, did some research, and found the Patagonia Men's R1 Air Zip-Neck at 30% off (limited sizes & colors). The link above is Patagonia's website, but I purchased a Men's XL Alpine Blue online from REI because the shipping is free. Delivery is expected this Thursday, and I hope to put it to good use soon. |

I just purchased a Rab Xeno 2.0 jacket on sale at REI - $118.00. Fit is perfect and it has a hood which is pretty much a must for me. It has Primaloft fill and looks to be warm, but I have yet to real give it a real test in the field. I purchased it to replace my TNF synthetic jacket which met an untimely demise at the hands of the camp stove. It'll be interesting to see how this jacket performs. I've heard nothing but good things about Rab products.
