    the biggest feature of Patagonia stuff is that it tends to last forever. i don’t know how they make money, since once you buy a pair of their surf trunks your set for at least 5 or 6 years. my snow boarding jacket is at least 7 years old and still perfect….good stuff that last forever = good stuff
