Patagonia

Patagonia grew from a small company that made tools for climbers. Mountaineering still remains the heart of the business. Patagonia also has collections for skiing, snowboarding, surfing, fly fishing, mountain biking and trail running. These are quiet sports. None require an engine; nor do they rarely deliver the cheers of a crowd. In each, the reward comes in the form of hard-won grace and moments of connection with nature. Nothing is more important than taking care of our planet, which is why the brand's mission statement is "We are in business to save our home planet". Interestingly Patagonia is the only brand in the world to donate at least 1% of sales to help hundreds of local organisations around the world. All products are designed to be as durable and useful as possible to minimise environmental impact. And if that wasn't enough, the brand's range also includes plenty of items made from recycled materials. A Patagonia sweatshirt or t-shirt is the perfect addition to your outfit!
