FallenFront NZ is pumped to bring you the latest seasons of Patagonia, a brand which focuses on sustainability and ethics. Patagonia's brand model is second to none, using recycled material and doing their part in ensuring the world is moving forward and reducing waste. Our favourite and one of the most popular from Patagonia NZ are the Patagonia Baggies. Let us kick this off with a short and important note about the history of the Baggies. Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard conceived them in 1982 because he wanted shorts with built-in mesh pockets that were deep enough to fit two tennis balls. They had to be durable enough to survive rough outdoor activities like climbing and hiking. Basically, they are designed for people who live the active outdoors life. Pretty sure this classes everyone in a kiwi Summer. Constructed from 100% recycled nylon with a custom durable water repellent finish to provide that quick-dry technology. Oh, and the best part is they are Fair Trade Certified sewn, meaning the lovely people who made them earned a premium for their labour. How much more could you want from a pair of shorts? Patagonia has options for both the summer and winter seasons, making them an all year round leader in the clothing department. Their range of P-6 logo branding across comfortable and high-quality t-shirts, hoodies and accessories, with the t-shirts made from fully recycled plastic bottles and fabric scraps. No matter what purpose you choose to wear Patagonia, you can remain comfortable knowing you are supporting a brand and key player in the future of the earth and sustainability, which here in NZ is an important factor. Patagonia never stops crafting the best product for function, comfort and style, we believe there is something for everyone in this range.
