Our Verdict

Patagonia Womens Nano-Air Light Hybrid Jacket is a soft hooded jacket with a rear panel of technical R1® Air knit that extends round the side panels and down the underside of the arms to just below the elbow. The soft waffle texture helps move heat and moisture from the body. The softshell panels have light insulation and are made from 100% recycled polyester which is air permeable and has four-way stretch helping the garment move with the body and stops the body overheating.  The full length YKK zip tucks neatly under a small soft flap when fully closed making it comfortable against the skin. The narrow hem fits flat to the body without additional adjustment or gathering. It also comes with 2 zipped front pockets, perfect for warming your hands or carrying essentials securely. This is also available with a hood which may be worth taking into consideration when choosing the most appropriate item for your needs.
