About Patagonia
The success story
Patagonia was founded by Ivon Chouinard in California in the early 1970s. The company's first products included climbing hooks and clamping wedges, which took the outdoor market of the time by storm. Soon Patagonia expanded its range to climbing clothing and quickly made a name for itself as a manufacturer of functional outdoor clothing. Today, Patagonia stands for high-quality outdoor clothing and outdoor fashion for mountain sports, skiing, beach and lifestyle. The company pays special attention to environmentally friendly manufacturing, fair production conditions and sustainability.
Sustainable, environmentally friendly and fair
Since the very beginning, sustainability, environmental protection and fair working conditions have been key issues for Patagonia. Like hardly any other manufacturer, Patagonia strives to produce products that are durable and repairable in order to conserve resources. The advertising campaign that Patagonia ran in the New York Times in 2011 caused a sensation: The slogan was "Don't buy this jacket". With it, the company promoted sustainable shopping behavior, where you only buy what you really urgently need. A revolutionary approach for a clothing company. The issue of repairability is also of central importance to Patagonia. Under the motto "Worn Wear," a Patagonia bus regularly travels across the U.S. to repair broken equipment and clothing - another sign of how important durability and sustainability are to the company. In total, Patagonia donates 1 percent of total company sales to environmental organizations.
FAQ
What distinguishes the Patagonia jackets?
Patagonia has a wide range of different outdoor jackets in the program, ranging from very technical outdoor jackets for mountain sports to jackets for urban outdoor. Basically, Patagonia divides its outdoor jackets into hardshell and insulation jackets. The hardshell jackets are waterproof outdoor jackets, which are permanently waterproof and breathable with their Gore-Tex laminate and are designed for the highest demands in mountain sports. In the field of ski jackets, Patagonia offers robust and versatile winter sports jackets that combine strategically placed insulation with reliable waterproofing and breathability - for active skiers and cold temperatures. 3-in-1 jackets are also part of the Patagonia range. They combine waterproof and vapor-permeable weather protection with a removable insulation jacket. Both jackets can also be worn solo. Patagonia's insulation jackets impress with their innovative materials and technologies.
What is the Nano Puff technology?
The Nano Puff jackets from Patagonia are insulation jackets with a filling of ultra-fine PrimaLoft fibers. These are synthetic fibers with an extremely high thermal performance. The fibers form numerous air chambers that store body heat and shield cold. Since PrimaLoft fibers are water repellent, they can maintain their insulating effect even when wet. In a Nano Puff jacket, the PrimaLoft fibers are stuck in stitched small chambers arranged in a brick pattern. Nano Puff are ideal as insulation jackets in cool weather or as an insulation layer under a hardshell jacket in cold and windy winter weather.
What is Down Sweater?
Down Sweater is the down line from Patagonia. Unlike the name suggests, Patagonia has not only sweaters on offer here, but also jackets, vests and even overalls for the very young. What they all have in common is the high-quality filling made from species-appropriate 800-goose down with a certificate of origin and the thoughtful details such as a strategically graduated quilting for more thermal performance, a water-repellent outer material made from 100% recycled polyester and a pleasantly grippy ripstop outer material.
Where did the Snap-T fleece sweater originate?
The Snap-T by Patagonia is a now legendary fleece sweater that has remained unchanged in its basic features since its conceptions in the 80s and has many fans due to its retro look. The Snap-T was revolutionary in the 80s. A cozy warm easy-care fleece pullover that could take on any outdoor adventure did not exist until that time. When clothing for outdoor sports was still gray in gray, the Snap-T hit like a bomb with its bright colors. The classic design in two colors with a contrasting chest pocket has remained the same to this day, but Patagonia constantly introduces new variants of the fleece pullover and combines here, for example, down, recycled wool and fleece to many new versions of the classic.
For what use Patagonia manufactures backpacks?
Patagonia backpacks meet the same high standards as outdoor clothing. They are robust, durable and functional. Part of Patagonia's backpack range are versatile top loaders, compact running backpacks, ski touring backpacks and technical alpine backpacks for climbing and mountaineering.
