It seems like those unseasonably warm, sunny days towards the end of winter have arrived, whew! It's put us in a serious outdoor mood and for it there's no outfitter we turn to more frequently than Patagonia. We've shouted out Yvon Chouinard's environmentalist brainchild when talking about best backpacks, best packable down jackets, and best duffel bags to name a few.
But what is it that makes Patagonia a granola mainstay? As much as its good gear, the environmentalist ethos has us hooked too. Ethical down, recycled cashmere, and recycled polyester are just a few of the must-haves we recommend and they show up in this article. The brand also supports One Percent For The Planet, and there's a full Take Action platform on the website.
As brands go, Patagonia is as ethical as they come. So if you're looking for a good brand, Patagonia is your best bet. So buy what you need. Fill up the cooler. Throw on some hiking shoes, and get the hell outside. With Presidents' Day Weekend sales already in action, you can shop these steals on discount right now.
