Earlier in the fall, Patagonia refreshed its editor-favorite Nano Puff Jacket with a new edition for 2025. Aside from a changed fit that offers a more streamlined silhouette and some new colors, the improved version of one of CNN Underscored’s favorite jackets doesn’t do much to reinvent the wheel. That means when a sale lands on the original version — like I just spotted at Patagonia — it means you’re not missing much by opting for last year’s version of the Nano Puff Jacket at 40% off with this outerwear deal.
Best of all? Patagonia offers expedited shipping to ensure that the Nano Puff arrives before Christmas, making today’s discount a notable option for a last-minute gift.
This may not be the newest edition of the Nano Puff Jacket, but it is the piece of Patagonia outerwear that our editors have tried for themselves. In testing, we loved its warm, lightweight and water-resistant build that kept our editor protected from the elements. Today’s offer matches the best price of the year, originally set back in January.

The women’s version of the Nano Puff Jacket delivers on all the same weather-shielding features as its men’s counterpart. It comes in a few on-sale colors that are still available in several sizes, each of which is comprised of the signature puffy exterior that gives this beloved jacket its name and a synthetic insulation that provided ample warmth in testing.

It has been quite cold here on the East Coast these past few weeks, making winter coats like the Patagonia Nano Puff essential pieces of clothing to wear when trekking out into the world. When our editors set out to test the best packable jackets on the market, they named the Nano Puff a runner-up in the premium jacket category. While it didn’t bring home the trophy, we were impressed by its warmth-to-weight ratio and built-in stuff sack, which made it an excellent choice for those looking to travel with it.
Alongside its packable design, Patagonia’s jacket also features a windproof exterior and water-repellent finish filled with the brand’s 60-gram PrimaLoft Gold Insulation. Other additions like a drawcord waist, a pair of hand warmer pockets and a hidden inner pocket make it a versatile addition to your winter wardrobe.
I’m constantly tracking price cuts across multiple online storefronts to ensure the deals are as good as the retailers say. The rest of the deals team and I dive into each product’s price history while cross-referencing reviews and guides from other CNN Underscored editors to determine if it’s worth your cash.
The best thing about these Patagonia Nano Puff deals is that they arrive before Christmas. If you’re looking to wrap up some relief from winter weather for someone on your gift list, today’s offer should arrive in time to land underneath the tree. That also means that it arrives just in time to wear yourself as you handle the first day of winter and beyond.
The deals team at CNN Underscored offers a unique perspective in the service journalism field by covering every stage in a product’s life cycle. That means our senior deals editor, Rikka Altland, follows a product from the moment it’s announced through testing it herself and then circling back once it begins going on sale.
Our goal here is to save you money, and by considering the entire journey of a product, we can offer better insight. Altland has been doing just that for nearly a decade, and that kind of experience extends to the rest of our deals team. Being an advocate for buyers to make sure we’re only recommending the best prices on the best products is what we’re all about, and that focus comes across in our work.
