Recycled Spandex
Recycled Spandex
Spandex is a critical material in our products. Also known as elastane or Lycra, spandex is an elastic polymer (a type of plastic derived from petroleum) that makes garments and trims stretchy, which allows them to be formfitting and to provide freedom of movement. Unfortunately, extracting and refining the petroleum used to make this material pollutes land, air and water, and contributes to global warming.

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.
