Patagonia Men's Clothing

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does Patagonia's men's clothing range cover?

  Technical layers for climbing, skiing, trail running and fly fishing, plus everyday pieces: baselayers, fleece, insulated and shell jackets, pants, shorts, shirts and swimwear. Most lines are built around a layering system, so the pieces are meant to be worn together.
• How do Patagonia's fits differ?

  Patagonia labels fits as slim, regular or relaxed on each product. Slim sits close to the body and layers under a shell; regular leaves room for a midlayer; relaxed is the roomiest. Check the fit note on the product page rather than assuming one fit across the range.
• Which Patagonia layers work for cold-weather hiking?

  A Capilene baselayer, a fleece such as an R1 or Better Sweater as the midlayer, and either an insulated jacket for stops or a shell for wind and rain. Carry the layer you are not wearing; active hikers overheat in a heavy jacket on the climb.
• How should I care for Patagonia technical fabrics?

  Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, close all zips first, and tumble dry low or line dry. Renew the water-repellent finish on shells with a spray or wash-in treatment once water stops beading on the fabric.
• Can Patagonia clothing be repaired?

  Patagonia repairs its own garments through the Worn Wear program, and small fixes such as zipper pulls, loose seams and tears can often be handled with a repair kit or a local outdoor repair shop. A repaired shell usually needs its water-repellent finish renewed afterwards.
