OregonDeadPretty sure BD had been made in China or Taiwan or someplace in Asia for quite a while now.

They had a decent sized facility in SLC they made a lot of the climbing hardgoods in. Til now it was mostly the clothing made overseas.

Outdoor companies don't care about the environment further than using the image as marketing fodder. One can't blame the companies more than the system that we are all authoritatively forced to comply with. BD is shitty for this but what company isn't playing the exact same game, making the same logical decisions to protect profits?

But I thought conservatives were about lowering taxes AND spending less. What ideology are the GOP and trump following? Fox News keeps telling me Trump is doing a great job but how is going into almost a trillion dollars in debt a year beneficial for the country? It isn't even a recession.

Will confirm
Highest ups in the military don’t care for you , your little ones or the environment bc for them there will always be money in war and always be enough alive to support that and willing to die for someone else’s ideals
Anybody ever seen their co rape a civilian? And the quickness and shouts of “hoorah” anytime there’s talk of a nuke , mfers can’t wait to nuke something , that will be just great for the environment The things our military does and gets away with is beyond the scope of most imaginations

a quick google search shows me that they have donated tens of millions of dollars over the years to environmental/conservation efforts and they make high quality gear that lasts forever and that they encourage people to have repaired rather than replaced

so far the counterpoint offered by you, Internet Guy, is "they supply some military gear".... so again, you'll pardon me if you're not exactly swaying me here. disagreeing with your weak shifty argument doesn't require being mad, believe it or not

So making long lasting, high quality gear, manufactured in a generally more sustainable fashion with typically slightly more environmentally friendly materials is ironic? IMO it would be ironic if they turned down those contracts to let a lesser company supply the forces with worse gear, made in a less sustainable manner. Patagonia supplying the forces is has a net positive impact compared to the alternatives.

Also with all the government money flowing to Patagonia because of these contracts, they're able to continue support environmental causes, develop more sustainable manufacturing methods, and provide those methods to their manufacturers all over the world.

The US military has got to be one of the worst abusers of natural resources and the environment. Perhaps a neccessary evil, but there is so much rampant waste and corruption in all branches, it is quite frustrating.

Patagonia then says they won't sell to corporations that arent environmentally conscious.

It is textbook hiprocacy.

YES they do a lot for the environment

YES I'm sure many people within the company care

YES they choose profit over environmental impacts when manufacturing in China to sell to a global market.

I don't hate on patagucci, I'd own more if I could afford it. Their gear issued to me when stationed in Ak was badass and I still wear it often when playing in the cold.

But holy shit folks you gotta call a spade a spade.
