You're being downvoted but i find their message really weird. Their technical gear sucks and have been crap for a long time now (not just my opinion). They charge arcteryx prices for north face quality. And even if they were positioning themselves as a brand for climbers and hardcore skiers those aren't exactly the environment-friendly crowd (even if they think of themselves that way) and thousands spent on heliski trips are receipts for that. Now that leaves basically college kids and yuppies sporting their $500 700-down jackets on bay area hiking trails, half of which they are now alienating with their anti-yuppie stance. I'm having a hard time figuring out who this brand is really for?
- mthoms 3y agoI’d disagree about your assessment of Patagonia quality and point out that most industry players where I live (Coast Mountains BC) don’t agree either. At least that’s been my experience working in the outdoor industry for two decades. This is Arc’teryx country for sure but Patagonia is very highly regarded and is known to have quite low return/warranty rates. You’re entitled to your opinion of course but don’t present it as anything other than that.
