Patagonia: the name alone evokes craggy peaks, soaring birds of prey, and tumbling, spray-hung waterfalls. In other words, adventures. Have some of your own in the Classic Retro-X jacket, a warm – and, crucially if you plan to summit any mountains, windproof – fleece style. As we’d expect from the environmentally responsible label, it’s crafted from 50%-85% recycled polyester (cutting down on plastic pollution and energy usage) and uses a responsible supply chain (helping to protect the people making it).
Patagonia started small, making tools for climbers. Now, it makes clothes for outdoor adventures from trail-running to skiing and uses its voice to campaign for the protection of nature. Patagonia itself has taken impressive steps to reduce its environmental impact and set a goal for complete carbon neutrality by 2025.
