Patagonia is in business to save our home planet. Founded in 1973 by climber Yvon Chouinard, Patagonia has always sought to protect our wild playgrounds whilst responsibly building the clothing and equipment to enjoy them with a minimal footprint. Still owned today by Yvon, Patagonia continues to experiment by building innovative products, searching for solutions to the apparel industry’s footprint, and supporting grassroots environmentalism. Because of this, it’s no surprise that many products in our Patagonia clearance section also meet one or more of our environmental criteria.
