Patagonia Turns 40
Clothing and gear maker Patagonia turns 40th this month.
Patagonia grew out of a small company that made tools for climbers. Alpinism remains at the heart of a worldwide business that still makes clothes for climbing – as well as for skiing, snowboarding, surfing, fly fishing, paddling and trail running. These are all silent sports. None requires a motor; none delivers the cheers of a crowd. In each sport, reward comes in the form of hard-won grace and moments of connection between us and nature.
We celebrate 40 years in business this month. Thank you all for making it possible. photo: Steve Ogle #patagonia40th pic.twitter.com/W5gQPggUqO
