Patagonia Past-Season Sale Offers Up to 40 Per Cent Discount on Outdoor Gear
WIRED reports that the outdoor apparel maker has launched its yearly discount event, with prices on key items such as the 100-litre Black Hole bag falling to $157.
Patagonia has initiated its annual past-season sale, providing discounts of up to 40 per cent on a selection of outdoor clothing and equipment. The event, detailed in a report by WIRED, features reduced pricing on several of the company’s staple items, including the Torrentshell rain jacket, R1 Fleece jackets, Capilene base layers, Houdini wind jackets, and Black Hole duffel bags.
The Torrentshell, a three-layer rain shell constructed from recycled fabric with a PFC-free DWR finish, is highlighted as a cost-effective alternative to premium competitors. According to the source, the jacket offers performance comparable to the Arc’teryx Beta SL at less than half the price. However, availability for specific sizes and colours is described as extremely limited.
Among the mid-layers, the R1 Fleece jackets remain a popular choice for their breathability and versatility. Both the pullover and full-zip versions are included in the sale, with the source noting the grid fleece design helps manage moisture during active use. The Capilene base layers, spun from 100 per cent recycled polyester, are also discounted, featuring an embossed internal pattern designed to trap heat and wick moisture.
The Houdini wind jacket, valued for its ability to pack down to the size of a tennis ball, is available at a reduced rate. While the source acknowledges its utility in shedding wind and light rain, it also notes subjective criticisms regarding the material’s breathability and noise. Additionally, a 100 per cent cotton Canada shirt with recycled polyester insulation is on sale, described as having a brushed flannel exterior.
Luggage options include the 100-litre Black Hole duffel bag, which is priced at $157, representing a $68 discount. The bag is made from 100 per cent recycled polyester with a TPU film laminate, a construction method that has proven durable in long-term testing. A smaller Black Hole fanny pack, crafted from ultralight ripstop nylon, is also part of the clearance offerings.
WIRED, which founded the context for this report, has previously published guides on Merino wool, base layers, and backpacking tents, establishing a broader context for the recommended gear. The sale reflects the brand’s ongoing commitment to durable outdoor apparel, originally established by founder Yvon Chouinard.
Shoppers should note that discounts vary based on size and colour availability. The source indicates that stock levels for certain items are low, urging potential buyers to act quickly if seeking specific configurations. The event provides an opportunity to acquire established outdoor favourites at reduced rates, though exact end dates for the sale are not specified in the current reporting.
