I’ve purchased everything from socks to Black Hole luggage to Tres down coats to fanny packs and backpacks, long sleeved sun shirts, ski pants and base layers and on and on. The only product that I’ve had a problem with was a ultra-light down sweater that had stitching coming out, which I returned and was given a brand new one. I have to be honest though, some of their designs can be trendy and are only offered a season or two. I don’t like how they will change the cut on a product line between seasons; I have two Better Sweaters from different years and the newest one is cut for a much thinner person and that irked me. I guess every brand isn’t perfect all the time but Patagonia’s stuff typically wears like iron.
Back to your question - everything I’ve bought in the last 15 years I’m still wearing and using. I have such a stash that anymore I only buy a couple new items a year. I’ve not noticed a quality difference.
