Price per wear is what I use when I purchase more expensive items. When it is classic and wears for a long time, it tends to actually cost less in the long run.

In 1985, I bought a couple of Patagonia Parkas, Jackets, tops, and so on that I would be able to wear in any environment you can imagine from -15 F and above. I'm now 61 and just about everything I bought is still going strong. It's insane to think that I still have them and most people have no idea that they're that old. In 1985, my waterproof goretex H2O no parka cost me $365.00 USD which seemed like a lot then, but I've saved a few thousand by not needing to replace it. If you're smart, you'll choose wisely and buy Patagonia.

their prices have held pretty stable with inflation and patagonia is about the same price as marmot, ll bean, north face, carhartt. It all comes with lifetime warranty and repairs with patagonia though. even their used clothes come with the warranty, and they throw all their end of season stuff and returns on the used website (worn wear). The better sweater wont shrink in the dryer because its synthetic, its not recommended but its totally fine to dry even on high it wont shrink. the better sweaters do pill over time though but can be shaved
@justin12182 жыл бұрын
I just started buying Patagonia stuff because of their warranty. Super satisfied, so far. You’re right about the longevity of better clothing. I have several Marmot jackets that are 11 years old and look brand new. I only bought new ones this year because I just felt like having new jackets. I easily could get another 5 possibly 10 years out of a couple $300 jackets.

Well , I cold wash north face and Columbia gear, and then dry them flat . They look new for at least 4-5 years and are wearable well after a decade. Most people hot wash and throw in the dryer.. The question is if they last after that .

Totally true. I've bought new since 1997 and used through Wornwear since 2018 and is undestructible, durable in quality and in design. I got an Iron Forge hemp jacket 5 years ago and looks great.

Now that I make better money, I've taken the buy once, cry once philosphy to heart. I've used this on a number of occasions and end up saving more overall in product satisfaction for the quality and use of the item and also for the cost-per-wear. Its better to do that then constantly replace the thing or looking for the "next best thing" since you're not completely satisfied with the first item.

Great video, I totally agree with what you say. Have a old black fleece from Northface that I bought in 1999. I was totally miffed that the elastic band gave out last week 😂 but it was the inner rubber not the fabric covering it that had totally gone brittle at several places as happens to old rubber. Having said that, fleece and leather hiking shoes totally last forever. Pants, socks, shirts etc not so much.

I agree 💯 % with you! I also buy Arcteryx. I have a synthetic Patagonia hoody that I think they actually called a sweater, didn’t understand why BUT I’ve had it for approximately 12 years and it STILL has zero issues with stitching, unlike one of my dish jackets always losing feathers which is very annoying considering the price point of my Arcteryx down.

I live far up in the Canadian north. 95% of my clothing is Patagonia, Arctyrex and North Face. My absolute favourites are my Patagonia set. I will only buy Patagonia from now on, especially after reading how environmentally conscious they try to be.
@eirikjarlmikkelborg537Ай бұрын
Patagonia generally offers better quality than Arc’teryx. I’ve owned many garments from both brands. When it comes to shell jackets, the British brand RAB is on par with Arc’teryx jackets but at a slightly lower price. What I’m trying to say is that Arc’teryx clothing is a bit overrated, even though they obviously produce quality as well.

pro tip: a lot of people buy patagonia stuff and don't wear it often because it's "fancy" to them. you can find practically brand new stuff on ebay for waaaay below worn wear prices all the time. i don't buy new patagonia stuff anymore even if it's on sale.
