My obsession with synthetic insulated puffy jackets goes way back.
I received my very first Patagonia Nano Puff back in 2011 and have been hooked ever since.
Then I came across the L.L.
BeanPrimaLoft Packawayand my world was flipped upside down.
Bean PrimaLoft Packaway Hoody is on sale for 15% off in both mens andwomens styles.
For those, it’s possible for you to wear it as an insulating layer under a heavier jacket.
A perfect dupe for the Nano Puff, L.L.
As a bonus, both garments double as plush little neck pillows when packed down.
On a normal day, the L.L.
Despite the lower cost, youactuallyget more out of the L.L.
Bean model than the Patagonia.
The biggest difference is the formers inclusion of a secondary chest pocket located on the outside of the jacket.
These details may sound small but they add up to a slightly more lovable garment.
What else makes this class of jackets so extraordinary?
Bean even got some help from NASA with the design of the Primaloft.
Theyre also chameleons of the layering world.
The choice is yours!
And with proper care, that could easily surpass a decade.
