Patagonia
Until recently many wardrobes were strictly divided between work and play. It was a segregated closet; the two sides never touched. Times have changed. We work harder, we play harder, and the fashion lines between the two have been broken. Patagonia is responding to this work/play anarchy by applying their years of experience in building high quality, outdoor technical gear, to casual sports wear - sportswear that can take you directly from the trailhead to tarmac without a stop.
Patagonia clothes are simple, durable, and multi purpose. They use 100% organic cotton in all clothing with cotton content and they select fabrics that are easy to care for and light in weight. Blends are engineered to be wrinkle-resistant, quick-drying and travel-hardy. No matter how or where you wear them, Patagonia clothes will take you reliably through the seasons, abroad or across town. They're functional and fun.
North Face
With the invention of Tekware®, you'll never wear cotton clothing again. Made from advanced synthetic fibers, Tekware® is clothing that dries faster, lasts longer and maintains overall comfort better than cotton. Its design combines the experience of world-class athletes and the expertise of the North Face in-house research teams. The North Face athletes take Tekware® to some of the most remote corners of the planet for field testing in the harsh conditions of extended expeditions. When they return, they collaborate with research and development teams to refine and improve the products. The result is a revolutionary line of equipment that makes cotton obsolete.
