Recycled Nylon
Recycled Nylon
Nylon is one of the strongest plastics Patagonia uses in their products. When they need a super-lightweight fabric, nylon is vital for its strength. But nylon is a petroleum-based material, and producing it has a high cost in energy and greenhouse gases. Incorporating as much recycled nylon as possible lessens the dependence on virgin petroleum as a raw material source, helps eliminate discarded material, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing.

Patagonia Bend
We're a locally owned Patagonia partner shop that opened in May 2003. Some long-time Bend locals will remember that it was named Pandora’s Backpack for our first few years. In 2006 it shifted to become one of the first independent Patagonia shops in the country.
