Love this! My costume for the current play, Doppler, is actually Patagosh fleece and shirt.. Worn the fleece for a month and a half..

I've had a love affair with R2's for years. The top three are all over a decade old and still totally fine. R1s are a good mid layer for a hill day but the R2s are perfect in urbania

A little chilly today in Compton, but we are dry out here!

@Giles Those bibs are awesome! I have a few items from the same era. I worked a fly fishing shop that sold Patagonia and spent too much of my pay on discounted items!
I’m still very loyal to the company and have a few friends that have worked for them through the years. They are generally the first place I look to for outdoor gear. -
Those colors are something else! And the wrist cuffs look ready for another few decades!

I first started wearing Patagonia in the late 80s/early 90s. Loved their flannels at the time. I bought this fleece Jacket in Japan around 2001/2002. Doesn’t get much wear now, but just got inspired. The most recent piece of theirs that I bought was a Triolet hard shell/rain jacket. It’s been great so far. Love the title of this thread

Paula's main ski jacket. I'm guessing from early 2000's. Just a brilliant pice of kit. The waterproof membrane is failing, so I have just filled out a repair request.....

just went through a very similar issue where the membrane on one of my jackets totally failed and it was only saw maybe 20-30 days of any use. It was a jacket i specifically reserved for travel to ensure it would always be up to the task of keeping me dry.
The one sales associate was a little resistant saying it was my fault and that i needed to wash it more (you could still feel the factory DWR on it) and said maybe he could give me a little credit if i wanted to pick out a new one.
Somehow I found a different associate when browsing, him not knowing my situation, he helped me pick out a jacket that would be durable, and effectively gave it to me when we walked back to the register after seeing the jacket I brought in. Turns out that one was notoriously bad for failing.
I'd suspect they may ask if you've washed it first and then would likely give you a similar jacket or offer you a healthy credit towards a different model.

it's common advice to refresh DWR, specifically to use a tech wash solution and to do a low tumble dry.

@Denman-John RAD in every way

@sabergirl I do two cycles of nikiwax (detergent and spray on water proof) at the start of every season

I agree, Patagonia makes some great stuff, most importantly,I appreciate the founders business ethos. Luckily, I live near the Patagonia outlet store In Santa Cruz, CA.
