My oldest patagucci jacket is 8 years old and is an almost daily wear for me (I get cold in my office so it’s pretty much used year round). It has some holes from when I caught it on boulders (now sealed with small piece of duct tape), and the fabric has begun to wear on the inside, but for the amount of mileage, i am super impressed.

My other jackets are newer and get less wear, but still hold up to plenty of abuse.

Plus : I know pre-pandemic they would repair items, which is amazing. I need to see if they still do it so I can get this sucker fixed.

Honestly, I feel like I’m in the minority, but my darn toughs all wear out after 2 years. So yeah, the warranty is there, but it’s truly not BIFL when you have to constantly send them back for a new pair. My smartwool socks on the other hand ? I have had the same pairs for about 12 years. And I use them heavily for work, which is mainly hiking off trail in the woods. These puppies are still going strong. Some have needed to be darned, but it’s wildly better than the saggy ankles of my darn toughs when the elastic gives.
