we love Patagonia for all sorts of reasons. It was founded by legendary dirtbag climber Yvon Chouinard, who ate cat food. The company supports families with great on-site childcare. Famously, in 2022, Chouinard gave the company to a trust and a nonprofit to ensure that all sales would go towards combating climate change.
If all of that weren’t enough reasons to wear only Patagonia, the clothes are also durable, perennially stylish, and last forever. To help make it easier on your wallet, Patagonia is currently holding a sale on all its past-season styles for up to 40 percent off. Below, we’ve gathered all the best deals on our favorites from the. You’ll find everything from base layers to duffel bags. Some of the discounts vary based on size and color. For reference, you can also check out our guides to the Best Luggage, Best Rain Jackets, and Best Base Layers for more.

This synthetic-filled hoody is the most useful jacket in the world, especially if you live on the West Coast. So many companies make similar jackets, but none can compare with the original, which is now made from 100 percent recycled polyester. It is lightweight, versatile, and packable. It’s wind- and water-resistant, which means you can take it on hikes and layer it under soft-shell jackets and rain jackets, and brush it off before going out to the bar with jeans. It’s worth noting, however, that while both the women’s and men’s versions are on sale, the discount only applies to certain colors.
The Micro Puff Hoody is our favorite lightweight, synthetic puffy jacket. It has a trim fit that allows you to wear it under a shell jacket but it delivers more warmth than the Nano Puff. These also rarely go on sale. This discount only applies to the Lagom Blue color in women’s and the Nouveau Green color in men’s.
The Torrentshell in our guide to the Best Rain Jackets. This is Patagonia’s basic, no-nonsense 3-layer rain shell that is now made from a recycled fabric and has a PFC-free DWR finish. Editor Adrienne So says that both she and her spouse have owned the older versions of these jackets for almost a decade. This deal only applies to select colors in both women’s and men’s.
The Capilene Cool Daily shirt holds the title of the best synthetic top in our guide to Best Winter Base Layers, and we give the merino version an honorary mention in our guide to the Best Climbing Gear. The 100-percent recycled polyester fabric feels luxuriously silky and, while snug, doesn’t feel restricting—even during strenuous activity. Since they’re on sale, we suggest snagging more than one because we guarantee you’ll be rotating through them. This deal only applies to select colors. We’re also fans of the Capilene Cool Daily Graphic Shirt which is also on sale for $38 ($17 off) in both men’s and women’s versions.
Patagonia’s R1 hoodies have a distinctive look because they’re made from a thin, synthetic woven material that is tremendously light while also being incredibly warm. These are the iconic mid-layers to wear for intensively aerobic outdoor activities, because they will breathe even when you’re working hard and keep you warm when you stop. However, at this price, it’s just as great as a thin travel layer. This deal only applies to select colors.
This deal applies to the Lagom Blue colorway. As with the Capilene Cool Daily shirt, these midweight bottoms are made of polyester so they wick away sweat and provide enough stretch that it won’t impact your mobility. Since it’s a midweight fabric, these are a bit thicker than the lightweight shit though. We give Patagonia bonus points for using fabric made of 100 percent recycled material.

This is one of our favorite fanny packs in our guide to Best Fanny Packs. Editor Adrienne So uses hers almost every day, whether she’s running or walking the dogs or kids to school. When cinched, it stays tight against the small of your back. It also easily expands to fit a pair of gloves or hat and other items like your phone, lip balm, and wallet. The ultralight ripstop nylon has been treated with a durable water-repellent (DWR finish) that’s 100 percent recycled too. When traveling, it can also be packed down into a small stash pocket.
This is one of our favorite options in our guide to Best Luggage. It’s made from 100 percent recycled polyester with a TPU film and laminate—editor Adrienne So says she’s been using the 40-liter version for 15 years now and the laminate hasn’t peeled. It fits on carry-on flights too. Although it’s available in various colors and sizes, the only model currently on sale is the 100-liter duffel in Matte Pimento Red.
