PATAGONIA
Started by a band of climbers and surfers, Patagonia’s vision of creating functional clothing with ranging use, from casual excursions to ascents in the unknowns of alpine environments, has taken them to increasingly higher levels of performance, while developing their outstanding commitment to doing things sustainably, like none other.
Their way of creation and innovation is done in a combination through the extremes of product performance and highest possible regard for people, environment and with sustainability in mind. Products that are made with materials of outstanding capability to endure cold, wind and water during the toughest conditions, are designed effectively to accommodate for all different types of movements, while still being sourced and created with as little harm as possible to ensure the protection of nature and people's rights. PATAGONIA is at the very forefront of this approach and way of dealing. As a wearer of their garments, one can feel as comfortable knowing that care and sympathy have been a part of every process in making it, as one actually, physically feels traversing through different elements and varying landscapes while staying warm and dry.
Not only creating in kind ways, PATAGONIA are actively supporting communities and people across the US, to protect, revive and revitalize land and water as well as to support resistance against climate change.
With this in mind, the ability to create pieces that facilitate comfort, performance and resistance at the highest possible levels becomes increasingly impressive. PATAGONIAS commitment to doing good rightly gathers the praise they deserve. Still, it is when taking into account how it does not restrain them from creating the high-quality equipment that they do - that their praise should be cause for an even further increased praise.
In relation to providing great technical performance, PATAGONIA also does not fail to deliver long-lasting garments with high durability beyond providing a second-hand market to ensure a longer-lasting life for all products.
PATAGONIA garments come in many different forms but all pertain to the idea of providing the wearer with the right protection. Their BETTER SWEATER provides warmth while being made from 100% recycled polyester and being certified FAIR TRADE sewn. You can find their DOWN SWEATER VEST - a lightweight and windproof vest with an outer shell made from recycled fishing nets. Their HOUDINI JACKET is exceptionally light while maintaining protection - made from 100% recyclable nylon. Their INSULATED ORGANIC COTTON MW FJORD FLANNEL SHIRT casually adds warmth as a heavyweight overshirt while being FAIR TRADE sown and made from ORGANIC COTTON.
For wind and water resistance, the NANO PUFF® JACKET uses highly compressible 60-g PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation with 100% post-consumer recycled polyester containing P.U.R.E.™ (Produced Using Reduced Emissions) technology and provides the wearer with considerable protection. It is also available as the NANO PUFF® VEST. Their FAIR TRADE sowed POWDER BOWL JACKET is made from 100% recycled GORE-TEX for wind and waterproof abilities while allowing accommodating proper warmth and breathability. PATAGONIA’s R1 TECH FACE JACKET makes for a great layer of warmth having been made from waterproof fleece. A STORM RACER JACKET turns things up a notch by providing protection in all weather conditions, keeping you warm and dry. With 3-layer H2No® Performance Standard protection through a 70% recycled stretch fabric for movement suitable to back-country snow pursuits. Similarly, we store Patagonia’s STORM RACER JACKET that shines in protecting the user from water and other elements despite physical endeavors. That one is particularly made for running.
Whether one seeks comfort, movement, protection, breathability, sustainability or fair conduct, one no longer needs to choose, but can actively embrace all of these aspects, as they all neatly combine in PATAGONIA’s product range.
