パタゴニア - Still Following Patagonia?

パタゴニア商品の価格は総じて高めだが向こうではそれほどでもないので米国に頻繁に出張していた頃にはお店にも良く行っていた。そのイメージほどに品質が抜きん出ているわけではないので今は買わないブランドだ。
例えばこのアウター、裏地の層が経年でボロボロと崩壊して、その断片や粉末が中に着ているものをゴミだらけにしてしまう始末の悪さ。それでも冬用のトレッキング上下は今も健在です。

The pricing of Patagonia fashion is relatively expensive in general but it isn't so much in the States, so I used to visit the shop when I was frequently travelled there. When it comes to the product quality, I don't think it excels as reputed, thus it remains as one of brands I now tend to avoid. 
Take this outer jacket for example, the inner layer breaks up to compound after years of use that makes my shirt or sweater I wear dirty. Look horrible, too. My coat and pants for winter trekking still maintain their good condition though.
