American rock climber Yvon Chouinard’s outdoors brand is rooted in the beauty of America’s natural landscapes across both the northern and southern continents—the brand’s iconic logo is a silhouette of Mount Fitz Roy, a mountain the South American region from which the brand takes its name. Patagonia’s distinctive quilted jackets, fleece sweaters and technical jackets have been a mainstay of American outdoors life for decades now, and in recent years they’ve taken that role seriously, working hard to improve the sustainability of their products. They endeavor to ensure as much of their product as possible is ethically and sustainably produced, and they restructured their entire supply chain to reduce the impact of their manufacturing. If you’ve ever spent a day near a lake, mountain, river, beach or national park, you’ve probably encountered Patagonia, and they’re committed to making sure those places will still be here in the years to come.
