Patagonia

The Patagonia we know and love today grew out of a small company dedicated to making tools for climbers.  These efforts remain at the core of their worldwide company, but they have expanded to include much, much more.  Patagonia also offers gear for skiing, snowboarding, surfing, fly-fishing, paddling and trail running – things they call “silent sports.”  They don’t require any motorized equipment and they rely only on the strength, dedication and effort of the athlete.  This connection between a person and his or her surrounding nature is a driving force in Patagonia’s clothing and accessory development.
