(86,572 posts)27. I have an extensive winter wear wardrobe...
And at least half of it is composed of Patagonia products, because they are that good. Battle-tested in the winters of Montana at 7000ft years round, I will spend money on their products even at a little higher cost because they last. I have fewer items but what I have is worth every penny. And they were, as a corporate entity, an ally for the causes I was promoting as a lobbyist back in the day.
Hell, I still wear the pullover synthetic down sweater I got over ten years ago, wear it more than half the time I'm outdoors in the winter. The sleeves are getting worn, I think I'll see if I can replace it at a discount.
Patagonia, an ethical company worth patronizing.

Yes, exactly. Patagonia has a higher quality product that I'll invest in.
