Product Description

Nitrous Down sounds like a variation of a dental drug. The "Rocky Mountain High" (no narcotics required) can indeed be experienced with the right equipment, but it starts with the proper foundation. The Nitrous Down 800-fill goose down mid-weight jacket can be used alone at the beginning of the winter or as a base layer for the times of nor'easter.You might think "DWR" is a fancy scientific term. There is, in fact, a definite chemistry involved with the outside of this jacket. A liquid hydrophobic treatment causes water to bead up and run off the shell. So while you're defying gravity on the slopes, water is complying with it -- right off your torso! Only 11 oz. Quilted construction Micro-Chamois-lined chin guard prevents zipper chafe Elastic cuffs and dual-hem drawcords keep cold out

5.0 out of 5 stars Similar to Nanopuff but down & fits better, February 14, 2012

This review is from: Mountain Hardwear Nitrous Down Jacket - Men's (Apparel)
At 6'1" and 178 lbs the patagonia nanopuff was way too baggy in a large and sleeves too short in a medium. This fits me very well and is about equal in warmth. It is down as opposed to synthetic... But very light and comfortable. Works well so far for additional mid layer in VERY cold conditions (-26) as only mid layer in mild cold conditions (0-15), and maybe as outterlayer for warmer (not sure yet). I have only had it a week so can't comment on durability yet.
