Is there a compelling story behind the brand?

Patagonia grew out of a small company that made

tools for climbers. Alpinism remains at the heart of aworldwide business that still makes clothes forclimbing—as well as for skiing, snowboarding, surfing,fly fishing, paddling and trail running. These are all

silent sports. None requires a motor. In each sport,reward comes in the form of hard-won grace andmoments of connection between us and nature.
