Summary

The Nano-Air Light Hybrid Hoody blends 40g FullRange insulation at the front with breathable R1 Air fleece on the back and sides for exceptional mobility and breathability during high-output activities. It isn’t especially warm on its own and offers limited weather protection, so it shines as a breathable midlayer for cool, dry conditions rather than a standalone warmth piece.

Pros

  • +Exceptionally breathable and mobile.
  • +Sleek and athletic fit layers easily under harnesses and shells.
  • +Purpose-built for active use in cold weather.

Cons

  • -Not enough insulation for hanging out in cold temperatures.
  • -Poor weather resistance due to exposed fleece.
  • -Does not stuff into its pocket.

Summary

The Nano-Air Light Hybrid Hoody is a lightweight, highly breathable insulated layer intended for high-output activities like running and uphill skinning. It excels in breathability and mobility as a layering piece, but isn’t very warm or weather-resistant as a standalone outer layer.

Pros

  • +Extremely breathable
  • +Lightweight and compressible
  • +Excellent mobility and stretch
  • +Fast-drying waffle-knit back and sides
  • +Great as a layering piece under a shell

Cons

  • -Limited warmth
  • -Poor weather resistance for rain or wind
  • -Not a stand-alone jacket; needs a waterproof layer
