For nights when you cup your bowl of ramen in both hands to conserve the heat, there’s the Retro-X Vest. A windproof barrier sandwiched between thick polyester pile (78% recycled) on the outside and a moisture-wicking brushed-mesh lining keeps warmth in and winter out. Collar and side pockets are lined with brushed-polyester mesh for comfort; a Supplex® chin flap adds extra protection. The vertical-zip chest pocket holds lunch money and ski pass. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.
Recycled and Recyclable Polyester
We recycle used soda bottles, unusable second quality fabrics and worn out garments into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
At Patagonia we seek to build the best product and cause no unnecessary harm. That's our mission statement, and it takes many forms. As it applies to making products, we work hard to source materials and use processes that are less harmful to the Earth without compromising quality. Because to us, quality is not only how well a product performs and holds up, but also how it's made.
