This jacket fits very well and is very warm. The hood fits nicely and could fit under a helmet fairly easily. The best feature is it's weight. This jacket is super light, I don't go anywhere without it.
Took this from the Patagonia site because I had the same question and I thought I would share."If you are going to be in cold, dry conditions, the down hoody is the hands-down choice. When it's dry, no other insulator can match down for warmth per ounce.But the key word is "dry." If you are planning to be out in wet conditions, it's the Nano, again hands down; the synthetic insulation is not nearly as compromised by wet as down - which is worse than useless if it gets soaked."and that's why I got the Nano Puff Hoody

Amazingly warm for a such a thin layer, but not too warm. You can use it in any environment, so It's better than the down version. At night, I use it as my pillow.
The thing is absolutely windproof, and melting snow drips off easily. Mixed snow gets it a little wet, but I've never soaked it through in some pretty intense storm, and it's never lost its warmth in the wet. The hood adds like 20 degrees of comfort instantly, but it is on the small side. That makes it insulate well with no pockets or dead spots, but if you have a long neck like me, you look like a turtle. But if it keeps me warm, it keeps me warm, so I wholeheartedly recommend it. Oh, and light. Sooooo light.
I'm 5'8, 150lbs and got a small. Fits perfectly. Wore this snowboarding in Heavenly, with merino wool t-shirt and longsleeve underneath, and a shell on top. Temps ranged from 40 (in the lift line and in the sun) to about 20 (on the mountain with wind chill - winds were probably about 30 mph). Absolutely incredible warmth for the weight and bulk. Doesn't even weigh ONE pound! It's so light that you'll forget you're wearing it, and takes up very little space when packed down. Hood is a little small, but it might fit well under a helmet. Zipper goes over my chin when zipped all the way. This is my new snow staple. GET IT!
Loved this thing. Kept me warm with nothing but light base layer underneath. Cuffs were very comfortable and just loose enough to make rolling up the sleeves easy when you need to reach for something and you don't want to snag or get it dirty. Thought the hood was a lil tight but appreciated the close warmth when the wind came with the chill.
What makes this jacket amazing is that you get fantastic warmth and ditch the bulk. It's great for throwing on under a ski shell or when you're walking around town and don't want to look like you're wearing a trash bag!
"Epic. Will get you all the girls, shield you from freezing cold, make others gaze on you in awe."

This jacket is arguably perfect for any cool conditions. Super light weight, this thing packs down to nothing and layers like a champ under shells. Given its weight and size, it is miraculously warm in cold conditions- but wearable even in warmer ones if left unzipped. Minor issues include a rather small hood, which can be tight on big heads if zipped all the way up. on the plus side, this means it fits under most helmets nicely. Neoprene wrist cuffs can be somewhat annoying, but this is a small price to pay for the benefits this jacket brings.
