A bluesign APPROVED product is made using environmentally friendly processes and materials. This certification ensures that the manufacturing meets strict sustainability standards, reducing harmful substances and promoting efficient resource use. Choosing bluesign APPROVED items means you're supporting safer products for both consumers and the environment.

The H2No Performance Standard ensures that Patagonia's waterproof and breathable fabrics keep you dry in wet conditions while allowing moisture from your body to escape. This means you can stay comfortable and dry during outdoor activities, even when you're sweating or caught in the rain.

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a coating applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. It causes water to bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in, helping to keep you dry in light rain or snow. Keep in mind that DWR treatments can wear off over time, so you may need to reapply it for continued effectiveness.

700-fill power refers to the loft or fluffiness of down insulation. A higher fill power means the down can trap more air, providing better insulation and warmth for its weight. Products with 700-fill power down are known for their excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for cold weather.

Recycled down insulation is sourced from previously used products, such as old jackets or bedding, which helps reduce waste and the environmental impact of producing new materials. It offers the same warmth and comfort as traditional down insulation while promoting sustainability and responsible consumption.

To maintain the effectiveness of DWR treatment, it's important to wash your garments according to the care instructions and avoid using fabric softeners, which can degrade the treatment. If you notice that water is no longer beading up on the fabric, you can reapply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product to restore its water-repellent properties.
