About Patagonia

Patagonia’s designers know that the best gear lasts long enough to pass down a whole lot of stories. From kids’ fleece that survives generations of hand-me-downs to durable, go-anywhere duffle bags, Patagonia outdoor gear is built for the long run. Their commitment to durability is matched by a deep dedication to sustainability and ethical manufacturing practices. Patagonia continually retools classic designs using 100% organic cotton, responsibly sourced down and as many recycled materials as possible, working to reduce the environmental impact of every product they create.

Pushing the boundaries for sustainability

For almost 40 years, Patagonia has supported grassroots organizations developing initiatives to solve the environmental crisis. They donate to groups addressing the global climate emergency and recently made a groundbreaking move by converting the business into a trust with the express goal of saving our home planet. Choosing Patagonia clothing means supporting a company that prioritizes environmental conservation and social responsibility at every level.

Durable for a lifetime of wear

Beyond building gear to last, Patagonia backs every product with their Ironclad Guarantee. If a piece of gear doesn’t perform to your satisfaction, you can bring it into a Patagonia store for repair, return or exchange — no timeline, no hassle. To keep their Patagonia outdoor gear going even longer, Patagonia provides repair resources for normal wear and tear, helping you extend the life of your gear with a little care and attention. They also offer the Worn Wear program, where you can trade in gently used clothes for credit, keeping good gear out of landfills and in action.
