For the season ahead, Patagonia will continue the brand’s commitment to repair, repurpose, and/or recycle garments at the end of their shelf life. And if your shell is hammered but not ready for the recycle bin, Patagonia will fix it in Reno or they will teach you how to fix it yourself.
Making new clothing is expensive and costly. Patagonia builds winter clothing and equipment to last through a program they call Extended Play.
Worn Wear Party Tour
Patagonia is again taking Worn Wear on tour to your favorite mountain towns. Keeping your gear in use for multiple seasons helps save precious resources and lets you stash more money away for a season pass. Skills such as patching gear, re-waterproofing your shells and fixing zippers will be taught. Patagonia will also be installing Recco reflectors on customer’s gear. All donations from the tour go to Protect Our Winters, the leading climate advocacy group for the winter sports community. Worn Wear tour dates are:
- January 5-7 Patagonia @ Squaw, CA
- January 19-21 Jackson Hole, WY + local retailers
- January 26-28 Sun Valley, ID + local retailers
