can't comment on the running stuff specifically, but i find their normal clothes to fit rather generously
Sizing for these capilene t shirts are small so you’ll need to upsize.
too late, already bought :o
Received my size small and it fits. Slim fitting…
Bruh, running shorts for $60 after 40% discount…
but they donate a whopping 1% of their profits to the climate change or you know, whatever….!
Don't ignore their sustainability and ethical employment practices. The whole supply chain is a lot better than most retailers, and to me that's worth giving a damn about.
People will still write it off as virtue signalling, greenwashing, a marketing strategy, etc.
I am very cynical of corporate practices, but at the end of the day I figure it's worth celebrating small victories
Whatever Patagonia's motivation is, I'd rather a company that puts some effort into sustainability than one that doesn't bother
@beltdrive: The owner of Patagonia bought up and donated an absolute crapload of land in Chile to ensure that it became permanent national park. The company isn't just talk.
Didn't know they made running gear, and imo running gear can be almost anything, but the brand isn't corporate Nike BS like some of the detractors would like to think. They also make seriously good cold weather gear and not the stupid TNF retro puffer jackets for wearing around the city.
Totally agree. The founder is actually pretty remarkable.
"A half century after founding the outdoor apparel maker Patagonia, Yvon Chouinard, the eccentric rock climber who became a reluctant billionaire with his unconventional spin on capitalism, has given the company away."
"Rather than selling the company or taking it public, Mr. Chouinard, his wife and two adult children have transferred their ownership of Patagonia, valued at about $3 billion, to a specially designed trust and a nonprofit organization. They were created to preserve the company’s independence and ensure that all of its profits — some $100 million a year — are used to combat climate change and protect undeveloped land around the globe."
@smifter: Yeah, that guy was one of the pioneers of climbing. He started out as a Yosemite dirtbagger living out of a van, making his own climbing hardware that he sold to other dirtbaggers. Turned it into a billion dollar business.
The gear that his company made (Chouinard, which then morphed into Black Diamond) makes seriously kickass gear that people can rely on in life and death situations. I do think there's a bit too much yuppie crap associated with the Patagonia brand, but they're still pretty legit and make stuff that you would take into serious winter alpine environments.
So to all the people who have to signal about how clever and cynical they are, about how it's another big evil corporate- disregard them for being jealous and proudly ignorant.
@rumblytangara: I didn’t know that about his roots - does that mean he was in the same group of climbers as the guy who founded Gramicci?
I tore a small hole in a Patagonia puffy jacket (poly filling) last week. Took it into their Collingwood outlet store and they fixed it on the spot at no charge. If the repair doesn't hold up I was told they will send it off and replace the torn section, still at no charge. Yeah I paid more than a similar jacket from Kathmandu/Macpac/etc but I'd rather buy something that the company will stand behind.
Lol non profit? They are a clothing company I don't think they claim to be non profit. They just try to do some good along the way whether it's not creating huge amount of waste in fast fashion or paying their workers well. Not to mention their products actually work.
@squanchy: thus fake
all the charitable nonsense is just marketing to make them sound virtuous to justify the overpriced gear
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-62906853
"The billionaire founder of the outdoor fashion brand Patagonia has given away his company to a charitable trust.
Yvon Chouinard said any profit not reinvested in running the business would go to fighting climate change".
Throwing rocks at genuine charity while supporting grifters like the bloke in your link is funny.
have you actually listened to the whole vid?
My guess is you haven't listened past the 6 minute mark
The one company that actually tries to do better… and people still come up with this crap
It's an easy way for some people to feel better about themselves.
people will really whinge about anything. chronic moaners
TIL Patagonia make running gear..
The Cool Capilene shirts (both long and short sleeve) are great. Don't usually see them for sale so I grabbed a few.
Nothing to see here… Another gimmick to make more money.. $75 for a pair of shorts…
bUt It$ PhAtAg0nYa
are you proposing they sell them at a loss or something?
its a premium brand.
That are made in China or Bangladesh from slave labor for about 2fiddy…
….bathed in the warm glow of the labels progressiveness!
Except they are provably not. Read the text here:

How much should a pair of shorts cost?
I bought the ones I'm wearing right now from K-mart for $20. They're cargo shorts, not running shorts.
Ah yes, Kmart is known for their sustainability and high quality products..
Why should they cost that much? Clothes are only that cheap because they are mass produced overseas on the back of taking advantage of poorer countries.
Thats not the 'normal' or 'right' price. Fast fashion leads to people expecting clothes for much cheaper than it would be to actually make them ethically and sustainability. Not saying Patagiona is that, but people on here would say the same things if they were.
@ScruffTheJanitor: I'm just reporting a fact, not stating an opinion. Obviously a bunch of people are sad that I buy clothes at K-mart.
Literally everything is mass produced overseas to take advantage of poorer countries.
@trawg: I asked how much they should cost and you replied with that. So unless I missed something, thats how much you tihnk they should cost.
And thats false. There are clothing lines that are not produced overseas, they are just expensive because they don't do that.
@ScruffTheJanitor: You're putting words in my mouth to get angry at me about!
I was just mentioning a price for reference so there was something to compare the advertised shorts to. Asking a vague question like "what should shorts cost?!" is impossible to answer because there are many different kinds of shorts, and I was trying to highlight the fact that comparing K-mart shorts to high-performance running shorts is not a good comparison that can be reduced to a single pricing point. Perhaps I was too glib in my post.
Can you point me towards a clothing line that is made in Australia that makes nice shorts? I would buy them tomorrow if they have the features I want.
You would be hard pressed to find a good pair of running shorts for much under $50. You need shorts that are lightweight, the seams (or lack thereof) are extremely important, breathable, well ventilated, do not soak up the sweat, some have liners, the pockets need to be well placed so things dont bounce around or rub when you are running. They are fairly specialist items of clothing and if you get it wrong then the chafing half way through the run will quickly make you realise that you shouldnt have bought the K-mart version. Its like socks - you dont want to run in $3 cotton socks from Target, so yes that $25 pair of socks is worth it.
Of course if you waddle around a 3km route once every fortnight it probably doesnt matter. And whether there is any difference between the $50 pair of shorts and the $75 pair - thats up to the individual
i guarantee u you can find those non chaffing shorts for half the price and the $25 socks for much less
textile industry isnt electronics hardware. theres a small 1% when it comes to synthetic fibres being engineered with new and cool technologies
but the rest is the same thing we've been doing for hundreds of years just more refined. So your points around stitching and seams are an example where its the same methodology, fabrics and technology but more innovative in terms of designs and use case
but takes zero effort to manufacture and clone
if you want good socks, one trip to the store to physically compare the $3 rags vs higher quality ones will help you steer away from the cheapies, but also make you realise the $10 ones from best and less are just as good as the $25 nikes
Cotton socks of any price suck for running. End up wet and soaked and you chafe and get blisters. Best and less do not make non cotton socks. Find me some good socks for $10 and I'll buy them.
as to 'where its the same methodology, fabrics and technology but more innovative in terms of designs and use case', thats the 'IP an design is worth nothing, products should be sold only for materials cost' argument that makes no commercial sense.
Appreciate your wit. However, 98% buyers do not think or reason like you while buying a mere pair of shorts. So you're the 2% that makes Patamoniyas customer base. I live in Canberra. I run often and no I don't sweat like babe (piggy). So no I won't by the $75 shorts. That should be the retail price and then mark downs from there.
I also live in Canberra and I run and not sure how you dont sweat in summer.
I never said $75 was a good price, I said its hard to find a good pair of running shorts for under $50. which is not $75. Anyone wants to provide me with a link to $10 shorts please go ahead. I use UA shorts, about $50. Happy to go cheaper
Everyone is built different but, personally, the benefit of running apparel is felt when I train or run longer distances (for me >15km). When I run in my running gear, I don't notice the little annoying things like feeling sweat dripping everywhere, chafing, or heaviness of the material as the training session goes on for longer.
When I'm running in my gym gear, the first thing I notice is the heaviness and sweat the further I go. My biomechanics change a bit too when I get uncomfortable which can lead to injury. I'd rather pay a bit more to get gear that works for me and keep me injury free.
~$50 is the starting point for most decent running shorts. You can get some cheaper when on sale depending on the brand but ~$40 is the lowest I've paid.
It's mostly people who do bugger all running or exercise talking garbage about the value of good exercise gear. You don't know your stuff is crap if you hardly use it. Thanks for chiming in with information that is actually useful.
Totally spot on. I've been pushing distance lately and you really find the limit of some kit (limit of my tolerance anyway!)
Pathetic-gonia
lol!
There's never been a made up word, in history, more annoying than "pattagucci" 😫
Pradagonia
are non climbers allowed to wear patagonia?
No. The worst thing is when I go to the bouldering gym and see a guy in a Patagonia shirt only being able to climb a V0. What a poser! I can't believe he would don himself with the regal Patagonia to only climb blues.
/s
Their $55 beanie will make you smarter 🤣
meanwhile all ozbargainers purchase their clothing from Anko and then complain of quality issues.
Dude I was so impressed with the last pair of K-mart shorts I bought I went out and bought four more pairs (I'm wearing a pair right now).
I typically run 50-70k a week. I run pretty much solely in the Strider Pro 5". There are two pockets either side that perfectly fit a standard sized smartphone without making it feel like it is jumping around. It is way more comfortable than using an arm band or running belt. The other two side pockets are smaller, but I can still put in glasses/earphones comfortably because the pockets are elasticised and will stretch around. The rear pocket is zipped so I can put my keys in it and run trail without stressing about losing my keys forever.
My oldest pair of shorts has lasted me over 1k km's at this point and the lining doesn't seem to be noticeably giving up.
I haven't found any other running shorts that will survive the abuse and is objectively as functional for my needs. I really hate having my phone jump around in pockets and also don't want to wear anything extra just to take my phone.
One thing to note though - the shorts don't have much give on the waist. It makes sense because they are for running and you don't want your shorts to drop each step, but… not much margin for error especially with a no returns policy.
I have also rarely had chafing, but this is a highly personal thing (IE everyone's legs are a bit different), but it is more from when I was unprepared for sweaty conditions and probably would have happened regardless of shorts choice.
I wear Lululemon shorts for my runs and run 600km a year, walk 600km a year, gym for past three years. No wear at all.
Bought Kmart and new balance shorts and no comparison.
I own Patagonia down sweater and so slim fitting.
patagonia is the uniform of a inner city corporate (profanity) that has too much money to spend.
This sale is crap, but I do like Patagonia´s winter stuff. Their jackets, if you get them at the right price, are amazing.
Sadly, this isn't a ozbargain material for me :(
Stack with SUNSUPER15 code for extra discount!
Patagonia is the company where the founder "donated" the company to the earth. Thus avoiding a $700million tax bill for the sale and the family avoids gift taxes for when he dies and the way the trust is setup the family is still keeping control of the company ensuring that they have ongoing future incomes while not having any of the debts………
Taxagonia: Artful Dodging of Taxes
The do gooders on here will neg you for that, don’t hurt them with the truth.
They only own 2% of the company and are only entitled to 2% of the income (and paid $17.5m tax to keep that 2%).
Do they fit true to size? Hate it when they say No Returns, Exchanges or Refunds. Also have to spend over $150 for free shipping.
