While Patagonia is expensive and definitely I only buy at good sales. It isn't just the environmental impacts they minimize but also the conditions of the workers that make their clothes. Fair wages, safe working conditions, etc.
Sure, you can get way cheaper clothing but most of it is from sweatshop factories that employ children and have awful conditions with low wages.
They also repair clothing and encourage people not to keep buying new. You can sell back their stuff to buy something else used or new.
So, while I can't afford a closet full of their clothes-the stuff I have has lasted years and they've repaired stuff to give me more years.
Just because some people make it a type of status thing-the price of their clothing is going to improving and sustaining employees in developing countries and not just making the rich richer. Too bad other overpriced brands don't do the same but still cost an arm and a leg.
meh.... still way too overpriced
similar or better quality stuff from Mountain Hardware with far better sales earlier..
they need to juice it up with additional 40-50% off sale prices b4 id bite
I only have one jacket...a soft shell...by mountain hardware. Does anyone find the fit around the shoulders on the tighter side? Feels like im wearing a sport coat whenever i have to lift my arms.

I used to buy MH because it was the cheaper option, but man it doesn't last for more than a couple of years. Not all Patagonia clothes/gears are great of course, but some of the ones I have last and the material is just better than MH IMO

Idk why big companies make ugly colors. You think the creators say - what's the ugliest color combination?
