Just when you thought Patagonia couldn’t get any more revolutionary, the outdoor lifestyle brand releases the Fall 2014 Nano-Air.

Available in jacket and hoodie variations, this breakthrough design features exclusive FullRange insulation that is guaranteed to change the way you think about active  outerwear. We’re talking temperature regulation, four-way mechanical stretch, and a shit-ton of breathability—all simultaneously offered with this never-before-seen material. And if that wasn’t enough, the garment’s nylon face is also coated with a durable water repellent, making it the perfect item for layering.

“This piece has changed the way I think about dressing for the mountains,” says Mikey Schaffer, Patagonia climbing ambassador. “With previous insulated jackets, I’d constantly be putting the jacket on at a belay and then taking it off before I started climbing. None of that is necessary with the Nano-Air Jacket. Having such a breathable jacket nearly eliminates the chills you get after sweating hard. The Nano-Air is definitely one of the most versatile jackets I've ever worn.”

Check out the Nano-Air design below as well as a short video breaking down all its epic features. You can also head over to Patagonia’s online store to cop one for yourself.
