# Patagonia Nano-Air Light Hoody

**Verdict:** A breathable, stretchy insulated hoody made for stop-and-go aerobic effort and iRunFar's top winter running jacket this season; the lighter fill should suit running better than earlier, warmer versions, but it's pricey and not weatherproof.

- **Best for:** Very cold, mostly dry runs and long trail or mountain outings where you want warmth that still vents moisture.
- **Not for:** Wet weather or runs much above freezing, where it is likely to feel too warm.
- **Downsides:** Expensive at about $300; Not waterproof; relies on a DWR finish; iRunFar had not finished testing the new lighter version

## What reviewers say

- Named it the best winter running jacket ($300). The new version cuts FullRange fill from 60 to 40 g/m², which the reviewers expect to suit variable-pace running; they found the earlier version comfortable from about 20°F down to -20°F but sometimes too warm above that. It fits in a hydration vest and layers under a shell; full testing of the new version was still pending.
