VENTURA, California. (September, 2014) – Patagonia
announced the breakthrough Nano-Air™ Hoody and Jacket with FullRange™
insulation – creating an entirely new kind of insulating garment for
Fall 2014 that’s unlike anything ever seen before. Offering excellent
temperature regulation and four-way mechanical stretch, the Nano-Air
Jacket can be worn continuously during aerobic, stop-start activities in
the mountains, and mitigates the need to adjust layers when the body
heats up.
The jacket’s nylon face fabric has a DWR finish to repel
precipitation, making it the ideal outerlayer or midlayer. The Nano-Air
products are incredibly breathable, allowing airflow up to 40 CFM (cubic
feet per minute) while still maintaining stretch and warmth, due to the
exclusive combination of FullRange insulation and nylon fabric.
“As soon as we started field testing the Nano-Air Hoody, I knew we
had something special on our hands, and lab testing confirmed it,” notes
Jenna Johnson, Patagonia’s business unit director for alpine. “We’ve
created an entirely new category of synthetic insulation with the
Nano-Air products. The feedback we’ve received from our ambassadors has
been incredible – you put it on and leave it on. It’s already hard to
imagine climbing or skiing without it.”
“This piece has changed the way I think about dressing for the
mountains,” notes Mikey Schaffer, Patagonia climbing ambassador. “With
previous insulated jackets, I’d constantly be putting the jacket on at a
belay and then taking it off before I started climbing. None of that is
necessary with the Nano-Air Jacket. Having such a breathable jacket
nearly eliminates the chills you get after sweating hard. The Nano-Air
is definitely one of the most versatile jackets I’ve ever worn.”
FullRange Insulation is a multi-denier synthetic fill insulation
made from several different types of polyester fibers, developed by
Toray Mills in Japan. It’s built in much the same way as traditional
fill insulation, but has a proprietary element that gives it added
stability against fiber migration, and allows for great stretch and
recovery. Nano-Air garments use a 60-gram insulation weight for
versatility in a wider range of temperatures. Utilizing a blend of
hydrophobic fibers that repel moisture, FullRange insulation will
maintain its warmth and loft when wet, and dries fast.
The Nano-Air Jacket and Hoody are available for both men and women, and can be purchased here.
