FAQs
Are these mitts waterproof?
They are water-resistant and windproof, meaning they can handle light snow and cold wind, but they are not fully waterproof for prolonged submersion.
Can I use these for heavy winter mountaineering?
They are best suited as an insulating layer for moderate cold; for extreme high-altitude conditions, a more technical, waterproof shell mitten might be required.
How do I determine my size?
Since they are unisex, it is recommended to measure the circumference of your dominant hand just below the knuckles and refer to the brand's standard size chart.
Are these machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
What does PURE technology mean?
It refers to 'Produced Using Reduced Emissions,' a manufacturing process Patagonia uses to lower the carbon footprint of their insulation production.
Are these mitts compatible with touchscreen devices?
The Nano Puff design does not feature integrated touchscreen-compatible fingertips.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the outer shell
The DWR coating may have worn off; reapply a standard DWR spray according to the product instructions and tumble dry on low to reactivate.
Mitts feel less warm than when new
Dirt or oils from your hands may be matting the insulation. A gentle wash in cold water can restore the loft and warmth-trapping properties of the PrimaLoft fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nano Puff Mitts, avoid storing them compressed for extended periods, as this can affect the loft of the insulation over time. When cleaning is required, machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water using a mild, technical garment detergent. Do not bleach or use fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-resistant coating. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. To maintain water-resistant performance, consider applying a durable water-repellent (DWR) spray if you notice water no longer beads off the surface of the polyester shell.
