Patagonia just updated its Nano Puff Jacket. Here's how it compares to the original
Season after season, the Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket continues to be a staple for outdoorsy folk since its 2009 debut. It's made with a warm insulation that easily packs down for travelers. Good news for loyalists: The brand just updated the timeless outdoor gear staple. Designed for hiking, climbing or backpacking, the outer layer brings more of the same that our editors loved from the earlier iteration — like warmth without the weight — but with minor tweaks. Patagonia Nano Puff Insulated Jacket Patagonia most notably changed the fit with its reimagined Nano Puff. It offers a streamlined silhouette, along with changes in its trims, while tapping a new, soft liner fabric. The reinvented Nano Puff debuts in nine colors for both men's and women's styles, including classics like black and grey to colorful reds and blues. Much like the original, the Nano Puff Jacket update adopts a lightweight, packable and windproof design. Both feature the brand's 60-g PrimaLoft Gold Insulation and water-repellent finish as well as a drawcord waist, a pair of handwarmer pockets and a hidden inner pocket. The two also pack down into themselves for easy travel when you don't need the extra layer. Combined with its quilted pattern, the latest weaves in a durable, abrasion-resistant thread to help keep its insulation in place. The previous jacket flared slightly at the hip to give more room for layering. This slimmer build opts for a more flattering look that you can still layer under, but without the bulk. It also lengthens the shoulder and gives more elbow room for better mobility. It replaces the recycled polyester with a recycled ripstop polyester that feels softer to the touch. The relaunch brings a welcome update to the classic, which we'll add: retails at $10 less than the OG's retail price. If you prefer a more tailored, flattering fit and enjoy adding the latest to your repertoire ahead of chillier weather, the new Nano Puff is a solid investment. However, it's also worth noting that this latest drop simultaneously brings down the price of the OG to $168, marking a stark $61 difference. Snag the discount if you're looking for a frills-free, reliable option. Either way, you can't go wrong. Patagonia has long been a favorite for its packable, insulated jackets, like the Patagonia Micro Puff. When we pit Patagonia vs. Arc'teryx, it edged out the competition when it came to sustainability. Patagonia Nano Puff Insulated Jacket If you'd rather pay less upfront, the OG Nano Puff just got more affordable alongside the new launch. It's 29% off in all nine colors across men's and women's styles.

Has Trader Joe's Made It to London? Only as an Accessory.
Before his trip to New York this year, Christos Paphiti, a lawyer based in London, considered two stops on his itinerary to be essential: the Whitney Museum of American Art and … Trader Joe's. His visit to the grocery store was the culmination of months of longing. Mr. Paphiti, 29, had for about a year seen more and more people in Dalston, his trendy East London neighborhood, sporting Trader Joe's tote bags. 'Seeing people in their cute fits wearing them, I was like: 'What is Trader Joe's? Where can I get one?'' he said. Mr. Paphiti left New York with seven tote bags for himself and friends. 'Everyone was super touched by it,' he said. 'I was like, 'Sweetie, it was $4.'' Though Trader Joe's does not have a single location in Britain, the chain's large cream and navy tote bags can be spotted all over London these days. Their popularity was clear on a recent sunny afternoon in East London, where the bag swung from many a shoulder. 'I think I've seen more of the Trader Joe's tote bags in London than I have where I live in San Francisco,' said Hannah Tyldsley, a 27-year-old who works in consulting and was in the city visiting friends. Some have expressed confusion at the bag's seemingly sudden ubiquity in the city; others are questioning why a Londoner would want to sport merch from a midrange foreign supermarket chain. 'It feels a little bit overdone,' said Annabel, a 24-year-old in London Fields who declined to give her last name, because of where she worked. 'It's such an American thing, which is weird because I feel like America is not cool at the moment.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
