FAQs
Are Patagonia products waterproof or water-resistant?
It depends on the model. Some pieces feature full waterproof membranes, while others are treated for water resistance. Check the product specifications for specific ratings.
How should I wash my Patagonia gear?
Use cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Does the gear fit true to size?
Patagonia generally follows standard sizing, though performance fits are often more athletic and closer to the body than their casual lifestyle pieces.
Can I use these items in extreme cold?
Yes, when used as part of a proper layering system, these products are highly effective in cold-weather conditions.
Where can I find specific care instructions for my item?
Care instructions are printed on the care tag located inside the garment, usually near the bottom hem or side seam.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and tumble dry on low heat, or apply a spray-on DWR replenishment treatment.
Stiff or sticky zippers
Clear any debris from the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or non-scented wax to the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because Patagonia apparel is designed for modularity, most pieces are intended to be used as part of a layering system. Pair base layers with mid-weight fleece and an outer shell for maximum versatility. To maintain the life of your garment, always consult the internal care label. Generally, wash in cold water with mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the performance of DWR coatings. If your item features a technical membrane, periodically tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the water-repellency. For storage, hang garments in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber breakdown.
