Awwwww. And a lot of their products are manufactured out of what? What? I can't hear anything. And their products and the materials to make them are moved how? How is that again? I can't hear anything. And what energy source is used in that process? What? What? Sure is quiet around here.

Their gear is very good but waaay overpriced. Cheaper to get EMS or REI store brands, I have EMS clothing that has lasted 20 years with regular use. MidwayUSA is great for hunting clothing, among other things.

Watch “3 Billion and Counting” to see what the “Environmentalist” have done for the world.

Gazillons of mosquitoes have been spared an awful death by evil DDT. Good for the skeeters.

The vice president of environmental activism at Patagonia says That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about Patagonia.

The 10-million dollars will go to nearly 800 environmental groups around the world. What a waste...
I like their clothing. It's not cheap but it is high quality. And their management has always been environmental loons.

Racist should become environmentalist. They have killed blacks in a quiet genocide.

I’m a me-first kind of budgeter. Living on a fixed income does that. I really object to overpaying for goods, especially from places that produce them with slave labor, and then having the money go for pet projects of the elite.

They’d be better served putting the money back into the design and materials.

Yup. Fixed income will do that.

I had an EMS nylon covered foam sleeping pad for 35 years until mice shredded part of it for their nest.

I remember once back in the 80's I overspent some money on a Patagonia anorak-type shell for cold weather running.
I liked it, but the problem with it was me knowing that people would see that little rectangular "Patagonia" label and brand me as a poseur, which might have been an accurate assessment, at least at the time.
So I sliced that tag off of it and continued to use it for several years. I felt much better about it with the tag gone.

vice president of environmental activismAt Patagonia, the only the position considered more prestigious is vice president of social justice.

I never knew about this company , and so I went to their website. The page starts with you having to watch a video of land threatened by oil.
Good grief.

That is about $825K per ‘charity’. Will probably claim a tax rebate of some kind.
Just another way to redistribute the wealth and also gain some new ideological customers. They may also lose some. idiots
