PATAGONIA
Environmentally Elite. Gore's new ePE membrane (which is light
and thin, yet strong, while also eliminating the need for long-lasting
perfluorinated chemicals) is Patagonia's big tech story for Fall '23,
with several snow and alpine styles incorporating the technology. One
lifestyle piece – the men's Stormshadow Parka, $899 – also gives it a
spin. e super-warm three-layer parka features a 100% recycled face
fabric made with diverted ocean-bound plastic. e 700-fill garment
consists of 100% recycled goose and duck down reclaimed from down
products. An insulated, fixed hood with hidden adjustment cords cinch
down for protective warmth.
