There's a reason the nickname is patagucci You buy their poo poo for the quality and the service. You can exchange or replace gear no questions asked if theres a problem, even a decade down the line.

Patagonia stuff is pricy compared to mass-market outerwear like you’d find at Walmart or Dick’s or whatever, but compared to their actual competitors in the industry like Columbia and North Face and Arcteryx etc they’re about even. They’re also pretty durable and they’ve been making a huge push lately to have everything be sustainably sourced. A lot of their plastics in the jackets and stuff are recycled at this point. So yeah if you just want a warm jacket to wear while running errands they’re gonna be expensive for that and way overkill, but as actual outdoors wear Patagonia is good people IMO Patagonia also put a lot of money and visibility into the fight to preserve Bear Ears Monument and the other public lands stuff the Trump admin has been selling off.

Weirdly kinda off message they also contract to make almost all of SOCOMs fancy gear.

I have a Marmot goretex jacket and a Columbia windbreaker. The Columbia one is ok, but it only cost 40 bucks at Dick's because someone put it in the clearance rack by mistake.

Only Patagonia thing I own is a backpack, that the VA reimbursed me for, and it's still in great shape eight years later. Infinitely better quality than this lovely Armageddon bag I got from Savage on a rebate.

I haven't paid for a bag since I enlisted, so I'm honestly dreading it when I get out. I don't want to spend money needlessly, but I also don't want to be that douche vet who goes to college with camouflage bags.

Just get a bag that's black. Any of the really high quality bags will always have a black option in addition to the six different military patterns or colors.

Find a couple styles you like, and wishlist them on Amazon, they change colors regularly, so you can get their bags marked down pretty significantly if you are patient, usually in pretty normal colors too.

This; black looks good and is compliant with most if not all uniforms (at least for the Air Force). Just lmao if you have an ABU pattern camo backpack; that stuff doesn't even look good and I knew as we were transitioning to them that we'd be in a new pattern within a few years.

I use a canvas shoulder bag/satchel/man purse because a backpack will make my back sweat when I walk to work. Paid $35 for it and it's great.

I'm still holding onto my APECS in hopes that someone'll figure out a good way to dye it without ruining it. I hit google up about once a year. Great jacket, but gently caress you if I'm ever putting that garbage pattern on again. I'm glad the AF is switching to the same uniform as the Army and Russians. Also, there are people who collect the Oakley stuff. I ran into a guy at the airport last month who questioned me about my backpack; he's got a couple dozen Oakley bags because he started collecting them when he was in the Army and he thought he had all of them. He started the conversation with "What year is your bag?" which was odd.

The only good bag is a sea-bag, for throwing in the garbage.

Re: bags I’ve had a Timbuk2 messenger bag since the mid 2000s. Super solid bag even though I haven’t used it much in the last couple years. I’ve had a Patagonia retro style backpack I used for school and travel that’s held up really well. Flying_Crab fucked around with this message at 18:25 on May 12, 2019 |

I travel for business and good travel gear is a great investment. I highly reccomend Tumi if you can swing the price, if not Timbuk2 is probably the best mid level option. Both are very high quality and can take a solid beating. I wouldn't ruck/hike/camp with it, but I've taken approx 80ish flights in the year or so and my Tumi stuff is still flawless. Both are designed for high volume business travelers and will hold up to college poo poo as well and will allow you to look like a professional and not a student. My only specific guidance would be to go with a laptop backpack bc it can double as an overnight bag in a pinch. My only regret is buying the Tumi laptop briefcase/messenger bag instead of the backpack. E: black Friday is a great tumi day they usually discount to not insane pricing. I will probably pick up a backpack this year. Timbuk2 used to have fairly frequent web based sales
