Responsibly made outdoor clothing
One of Patagonia’s most popular products, the Better Sweater Fleece Jacket, is a full-zip sweater-meets-fleece combo made with a low-impact process that significantly reduces the use of chemical dyes, as well as energy and water compared to other conventional dyeing methods. The fabric used for this iconic jacket is certified Bluesign approved and Fair Trade sewn, with a contoured shape and fit, raglan sleeves, zippered hand warmer pockets, and an interior drop-in pocket.
The fashion industry is notorious for its ethical shortcomings and deplorable practices. As one of the largest polluting industries, it’s important to buy apparel from ethical producers. Patagonia is an industry leader in the production of ethically-made outdoor gear and apparel. They utilize a high percentage of eco-friendly materials and processes, and create high-quality, long-lasting products manufactured using responsible, sustainable methods.
As a certified B-Corporation and supporter of 1% for the Planet, Patagonia also promotes fair labor practices, safe working conditions, and environmental responsibility throughout their entire supply chain.
