$300 for a fleece?! I could buy a used car. Or at least a very nice tent. The wallet weeps, the mountains beckon.
They keep talking about saving the planet. Meanwhile I'm trying to save 30% on a down jacket. Priorities, people!
Find an item you love? Congrats, it's discontinued or sold out. Found online for 3x the price by a reseller named "GearGremlin99".
The most powerful statement you can make against a company you disagree with is obviously to mail all your high-quality outdoor clothing to a complete stranger on the internet. It's called Redistributive Trail Justice, and I just made it up.
By shipping your Patagonia items to me, you'll feel the warm glow of protest and save valuable closet space. Win-win. I'll make sure your gear is used in the field, on actual trails, against actual mountains. This is my solemn oath.
* By sending your items, you agree that this is a very real and legally binding protest. No returns. The protest organizer assumes no responsibility for any gear that immediately becomes their favorite jacket. Patagonia™ is a registered trademark of Patagonia, Inc. This page is a joke. A very good joke. Please send jackets anyway.
Take a moment. Breathe. Think about how good that fleece would look on me.
The classic. The legend. All colors. All sizes. Especially large.
Bibs, shells, base layers. The mountain awaits. My mountain.
Daypacks, multi-day packs, technical climbing packs. Room for more protest gear.
Warm protest happens from the inside out. Merino preferred.
Hats, beanies, gloves. Every accessory is a statement.
If Patagonia made it and you're mad about it, box it up.
I sent three fleeces and a down jacket. I feel truly liberated. Also my closet is much roomier now for my new REI stuff.
The protest organizer confirmed receipt of my Level 5 shell. He said, and I quote, "this rocks." I consider that a political win.
I only own Patagonia. Protesting it meant sending everything I own. I now wear a burlap sack. The mountains respect my commitment.
We believe that the mountains don't care what you wear. They also don't read this website. But I do, and I care very much what you wear, particularly if it's Patagonia and you're feeling disgruntled about it.
Every great outdoor journey begins with a single step. And sometimes that step is toward your closet, where your barely-used R2 TechFace jacket hangs, and you think: "You know what? Someone out there could use this more than me."
That someone is me. I am ready to carry the burden of your discarded outdoor fashion. For justice. For the trails. For free gear. Mostly for free gear.
