You don’t actually need a lot of stuff, you just need good stuff that you like

I got this jacket like in 1992, can’t really remember more exact then that. It’s still a favorite. Although it’s worn out and leak I use it as often as I can when I go fishing. On days when it’s not poring down with rain, that is. This SST jacket has been to lots of places, from Montana to Mongolia, Norway to New Zealand, Sweden to South Africa, Argentina to the Arctic. It’s taken me through lots of bad weather days, as well as just plain sunshine. I have caught a lot of nice fish when using the jacket - but probably lost even more.

Worn Wear® Stories | Presented by Patagonia

Happy Black Friday.....

Running a hundred miles in the backcountry, surfing perfect waves around the world, climbing a world-famous skyline for the first time ever—experiences like these require well-made gear that performs in the toughest conditions. In this short video, Tommy Caldwell, Keith Malloy and Keira Henninger share stories about their favorite things and why they’d rather keep using and repairing those things instead of replacing them with something new.

A low-impact alternative to the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping frenzy, Patagonia's Worn Wear program is an invitation to celebrate the stuff you already own.
