Is Patagonia Worth It? | Why Is Patagonia So Expensive? | Sustainable Living

Are you already a Patagonia customer? Tell me in the comments.

In this video, I talk about one of my favorite brands and companies, Patagonia.

Patagonia is the brand I wear the most of and absolutely love their gear and their business philosophy.

I have people tell me that they think it's expensive. Well, it's not that simple. And to determine if it's worth it... there is a lot to consider!

Join me as I explore how I have come to the understanding that Patagonia is not expensive, and why it is worth it.

Chad! You hit the nail on the head: "every single dollar I spend is a vote for the kind of world we want to live in" Excellent observation! Congrats on your channel

I love how you’re helping people think about their values & the way we live our lives in a video about clothing. well done, sir.

I haven't given it much thought when choosing clothing. If it looks good and priced right I get it. I used to just buy the cheapest stuff but I've shifted from that mindset in recent years. I want comfort and style and I'm usually ok with paying for it. This was very informative and will influence me to try Patagonia. Thanks Chad!

Patagonia is lot more reasonable for those of us working outdoor recreation. As a ski patroller I get 40% of Patagonia twice a year! Having such access to really high quality gear is amazing.

Everything from patagonia that I've purchased has been very good quality and lasted a long time

Been debating on buying a jacket from Patagonia due to the large price. After I watched their documentaries and watched many Patagonia reviews. I've decided to buy the jacket and I'm very excited about receiving it in the mail!

All of my favorite pieces of clothing are from Patagonia. The only thing I get frustrated at is when you really dig a particular piece and need to replace it and they have changed the style or cut. I am dreading the day when my pair of pair of really old Patagonia short finally give up! Great video!

As an Outdoor educator, I need clothes that perform well, and hold up. I have used other brands that didn’t cut it. But Patagonia works, doesn’t pick up odors and lasts longer than other brands. For me, it’s an easy purchase.

I have a long sleeve black shirt made from recycled materials but high quality and warm. Simple Patagonia name at front in white and colourful large logo at back. Hands down my fave shirt and got heaps of compliments.

Got an Patagonia Fleece, which my dad worn ( is that correct English) already more than 30years ago, when he was doing alpine tours. its the best fleece I have in my wardrobe! perfect quality then and now!

Damn this video was pretty well made, I genuinely thought it was made by a large channel. Good job and very informative.

[khabibpogosyan]

I like Patagonia, I would love to see other eco-friendly brands if you had already or will make in the future new videos.

I love Patagonia for their quality gear and clothes, although I do have to disagree with the whole world hugging image.. Not many people know that Patagonia is a major contractor that manufactures combat gear for USSOCOM (United States Special Operations). The truth is that Patagonia's hidden product line is being deployed in combat zones all over the world. I'm cool with it and find it kind of amusing, but peope should do their research and make their own call.

Nevertheless this is something that Patagonia has decided to stay completely quiet about.

Love the channel man! I came across you during your interview with Ben Hartley a few weeks ago. Really like what you did here. I love Patagonia and I didn't know they have a used section on their website. Will definitely be checking that out!

[christophertherealone.]

Thanks for the video! I just bought a Patagonia jacket and I have to say. They are my favorite brand hands down!!! Worth every single penny

[dgentry]

Love Patagonia and they are starting to pave the way in how products should be made. Even Adidas is starting to come round with there Parley collaboration

[fabriciomantovani]

I love Patagonia. I live in Argentina by the products are very expensive. I understand the importance of your message. for that reason I decide to invest in their products. (Argentina is financial inflation. The average income of an employee is US $ 250/300)

[mwear]

I don't own Patagonia, but I sure love this video.

[BillyD]

Yes. I have an R1 quarter zip for fly fishing PA winters and a button down wool flannel. Love em both.
