Patagonia is an outdoor brand founded in Ventura, California, in 1973. Founded when founder Yvon Chouinard began selling climbing gear he forged himself to his friends, the brand has expanded into the fields of climbing and outdoor wear. With a mission of "We are in business to save our home planet," Patagonia is characterized by its commitment to balancing environmental protection with business, choosing materials with minimal environmental impact, employing Fair Trade-certified factories, and designing products with an emphasis on longevity. Patagonia actively uses recycled polyester, organic cotton, and RDS-certified down, and promotes repair and reuse through its "Worn Wear" program. Signature items include the brand's iconic fleece, the Classic Retro-X, the minimalist rain jacket, the Torrentshell, and the lightweight, warm synthetic insulation, the Nano Puff. On this page, we sell Patagonia fleeces, shells, insulation, and bags as used outdoor gear.
