Micropuff vs an 800 fill power down would be a more realistic. Again you could compare them, but they are so differently designed, the comparison wouldnt mean much. It is warmer than its breathable competitor, the Patagonia Nano Air (60 g/m2. The Micropuff would be the user who is slower paced and not expecting to break a sweat while wearing it. Save up to 80 or more on used Outdoor Research Uberlayer Womens Synthetic. Do you have experience with Alpha not being durable? The Nano air would be for the user who is moving faster and sweating. I’ve not noticed my fleece layers losing loft. First, how do you think the OR Ascendant hooded jacket would compare in this review?Īnd, you state that PolarTec Alpha insulation is not durable? Can you please explain why? I thought that since Alpha is basically long-pile fleece, it would not break or lose loft like short-fiber, loose synthetic insulation fills having very small fiber diameters. So Max, I have two questions if you would be kind enough to reply. And according to Max’s review, the Uberlayer is the same warmth as the Proton LT and Nano Air. Our Top Picks and other award winners dont make. It's the third heaviest jacket in this review behind The North Face ThermoBall Hoodie and the Hyper Puff. At a time when many folks are transitioning from fleece to active insulators like the Patagonia Nano-Air Light Hybrid Hood and the Outdoor Research Uberlayer, the Deviator shows us that theres still room for a fleece mid layer (albeit hybridized with Polartec alpha) in our closets and our packs. Arc’teryx makes some of the top jackets and shells on the market, and the Atom LT Hoody is perhaps their most well. What we don’t: Breathability could be better. Insulation: Coreloft Compact (60g) What we like: Great mix of warmth, mobility, and comfort.
Killer jacket.-130+ship Would consider trade for Pata Down Sweater Hoody- Med Black in good cond. Arc’teryx Atom LT Hoody (259) Weight: 13.2 oz. Outdoor Research Uberlayer Hoody-Hot Sauce-Size Med-Worn a few times. I am surprised how warm it is as it seems thinner than the Nano. The gear cubby is getting tight and I need to pay for school. I have the Nano Air Hoody and the Ascendant Hoody, and I think they are fairly comparable in terms of breathability, the Ascendant seems a bit more wind/weather resistant.
Weight & Compressibility Weighing in at 17.8oz for our size small test model, the Uberlayer is over 5oz heavier than the Nano-Air. Follow topic: Email Notify on site Post Reply. The Ascendant uses the same weight of PolarTec Alpha insulation as the reviewed Uberlayer, so I assume they would both be the same warmth. We found that the Uberlayer 's hood seals in warmth well and it fits over a helmet if needed. The OR Ascendant hoody weighs a claimed 13.0 oz, which is a whole 1.4 oz lighter than the top-recommended Arcteryx Proton LT.
