Patagonia's origins can be traced back to Yvon Chouinard's blacksmith shop, where he crafted pitons that revolutionized big-wall climbing in Yosemite. This design, the Forge Mark, pays homage to Chouinard's signature, hammered into each piton. Although pitons were found to harm the rock, they serve as a reminder of our past and our mission to protect the planet. This hoody is made with recycled materials, reflecting our commitment to conserving resources. By using fabric scraps and recycled bottles, we reduce our reliance on new materials. Crafted in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
