Choosing a sandstone studio over a morning commute. Alternate real-ity in the Garden of the Gods, Utah. Ken Etzel

Our Choices Define Us

One of the things I learned early on is our path in

life is determined by the choices we make, and

while the outcome is never guaranteed, when a

choice is made mindfully there can be life-changing

moments of clarity. Choices are our beliefs set into

action, and those actions set us down a path. And

while some may think a personal path is unwaver-

ing, like an arrow on its way to a bull’s-eye, I think

our personal paths evolve as we learn, grow and

strengthen our core beliefs.

The same can be said about business. Back in

1995, Patagonia was on a successful path with

our sportswear collection—much of it made from

conventionally grown cotton. But when we learned

more about the way conventional cotton was grown

in the San Joaquin Valley—in our own backyard—

and how the chemicals deployed on cotton farms

were the same chemicals formulated as nerve

gases for warfare, we decided abruptly to eliminate

conventional cotton from our entire clothing line.

Was it a smart business move? Not on paper.

Organic cotton cost more then and we had no idea

if our customers would pay more. So we prepared

for lost revenue. We dropped some styles that we

could no longer afford to produce. All along, as we

made one decision after another to change course,

we had no idea how it would play out. But that’s the

thing. We had made a choice based on our belief

that conventional cotton was bad for the planet; we

had clarity, and we weren’t going back.

In 1996, all cotton used in our sportswear

switched over to organic cotton. We continue to

exclusively use organic cotton in our sportswear

and active products. Since then, we’ve made similar

choices that had less to do with profit and more

to do with how to reverse trends that are causing

harm to the earth.

In addition to switching to organic cotton, we

introduced recycled polyester in 1993, adopted

bluesign® chemical standards in 2000 and em-

ployed Fair Trade Certified™ sewing in 2014. Today,

75 percent of our entire product line has at least

one socially or environmentally improved attribute.

We’re constantly evaluating what we take from

the earth and how we can give back more—through

improved business practices and supporting grass-

roots environmental activism. And while we can’t

escape the fact that as a business we’re not there

yet, we’ve asked our customers to look at their own

consumer behavior and consider buying less stuff

and repairing what they already own.

The way to live lightly, to cause less harm and to

give back more than we take, is a path we’re going

to stay on. And the only way to get there is one

choice at a time.

NEW Ahnya Pants 21970 I $79.00

Since 1996, we’ve only used organic cotton, which uses nature-based solutions to manage pests and build healthy soil, instead of the synthetic pesti-cides, herbicides, defoliants, fertilizers and GMO seeds used to grow conventional cotton. Approxi-mately 33 percent of our product line uses organic cotton, including our easy-care, cotton blend Ahnya Pants.

We began making recycled polyester from plastic soda bottles in 1993—the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to transform trash into fleece. Today, we use recycled polyester in 31 percent of our product line, which has reduced our need for petroleum to make raw materials. Our Light & Variable Hoody is made from 100 percent recycled polyester, offers 50+ UPF sun protection and is the perfect layering piece over tanks and tops.

Barely Baggies™ Shorts – 2½"

Baggies shorts climbed out of the primordial ooze 34 years ago and went on to populate land, sea and vertical granite. The original “modified rugby” version would still be recognizable today: They had a drawcord elastic waistband, nylon tricot inner brief and water-draining pockets. But as the company changed, adapted and branched out, so did our Baggies shorts offering. Now our entire Supplex® nylon Baggies collection offers 40-UPF sun protection and the fabric is bluesign® approved.

Bare in Mind Summer’s the time to break rules: hike in a dress, surf cast in a skirt, dine in a bikini. Deciding what to take—or better yet, what not to take? If the temps suggest a close-to-naked approach, pack minimally, include layers for the occasional squall and don’t be surprised if you come home with only a handful of clothes to throw in the wash.

R e g e n e r a t i o n

Above: “Bison allowed to roam and graze on large landscapes naturally revitalize the soil and help promote a healthy grassland ecosystem.” – Jill O’Brien Cheyenne River Ranch, South Dakota. Jon Levitt; Inset: Jon Levitt

3131

Crawling on my stomach through the grass, I temporarily

forgot about my fear of snakes. Earlier, I had been out with

my husband, Dan, gathering a herd of renegade bison that

had crossed a downed fence. It was a misty South Dakota

morning and the sun had just started to push through the

washed-out prairie sky.

There were a few mothers with spring calves in the group

of escapees, so we took extra care and swung out far

behind them, hoping they would accept our subtle

encouragement and turn back. They took the hint and

headed toward home.

We trailed behind them and as we passed through the

gate we noticed the “maternity ward,” a group of expecting

and new mothers, about a quarter-mile to the south. Tucked

behind a plum thicket that was even closer, a mother giving

birth. As Dan started to accelerate away, I said, “Wait! I

want to see this.”

“What about all of the snakes?” he asked with a half smile,

“And how will you get back?”

I threw him a winced ha-ha smirk and said, “I’ll walk.”

I reached the edge of the plum thicket just as the calf was

being delivered. My breath was heavy, and my heart felt

as if it was beating out of my chest. I hadn’t been invited

to this new union and felt a bit like an interloper. But I was

already there and had an opportunity to take a photo of the

prairie’s newest arrival. I crawled deeper into the thicket,

thorns clawing at me with every wiggle.

I sensed that the mother sensed me, so I started talking to

her. The words were just a murmur, but I believed she could

feel them. “It’s all right, little momma. Good job. You’re so

beautiful. I love you.” I watched as she licked and nudged

the little golden ball of fur up onto its legs.

The new mother looked my way, so I stilled myself and

buried my head into my coat, peeking out only occasionally

for a glimpse. The baby tested its new legs, making small

attempts at a leap and a kick before the mother grunted it

back to her side.

I slithered out backwards and dipped into a low crevasse.

The ground had started to puddle so I rose onto my hands

and knees. I noticed movement in the grass and froze in a

panic. “Snake,” I thought. As my mind was telling my body

to leap 20 feet in the air, a Great Plains toad revealed itself

from the sandy soil. I collapsed back into the prairie and

allowed its dampness to fill my lungs, before moving away

ape-like, as if I too were coming out of the earth.

Jill O’Brien, along with her husband, Dan, is co-owner of the Cheyenne River Buffalo Ranch and the sustainable buffalo meat business, Wild Idea Buffalo Company. She is a recipe developer and photographer, and is currently working on a cookbook that will connect food choices to the environment. Jill is also involved in community organizations that support social and cultural justice.

Your friend texts at midnight, “New plan. East Side Sierra. High-pressure system.” No problem. Everything you had packed for J-tree still works. Except for the climbing guide. That’s an easy fix. Done. Now you can get back to sleep and dream of hidden hot springs, acres of smooth granite and intact fingerprints.

These summer-weight shirts will get you into most restaurants, and the technical fabric performance kicks in when you’re wading through desert side canyons or mopping up jungle humidity. Another common factor: The cotton is 100 percent organic and has been since 1996.

Grand OpeningThe first trail run of the season prompts questions. After a winter of running along icy roads in studded shoes, are your muscles ready for rock-hoppy uphills and zigzaggy downhills? Then there are the rattlers. Will they be equally excited to be on warming trails? Time to be light on your feet, trust your instincts and greet the mountains with an open heart.

Golden, dusty light floods the field I’m sitting in.

Tears stream down my cheeks, creating tracks

through the dust covering my face. In front of me

is my bike, a baby blue singlespeed. I look toward

the river I had just waded across and sigh. This is

where I turn around. This is where it ends.

I am coming to terms with the fact that my

ride across Afghanistan’s Panjshir Valley has

come to an abrupt end. I had hoped to summit

the 15,000-foot Anjuman Pass, which marks the

border of the province. It was to be a symbolic

summit, representing the figurative “mountains”

that women have to overcome in Afghanistan.

I had started two days ago at the gates of

Panjshir, a checkpoint at the entrance to the

narrow valley, which is guarded by Afghan sol-

diers. I had unpacked my bike on the side of the

road next to the Panjshir River under the curious

gazes of several local villagers. Twenty minutes

later I was riding past Soviet tanks rusting beside

the riverbank and small villages lined with shops

housed in shipping containers.

As miles of dusty roads passed beneath my

wheels, young boys raced their bikes alongside

me and men waved at me to stop so they could

talk, often laughing and smiling. Several men took

turns riding my bike. My heart expanded with each

encounter and with the recognition of “the other”

in every conversation. Our common humanity.

The hills got steeper, the mountains felt wilder

and the ghosts of the mujahideen, the Afghan

warriors who had fought in these mountains, sur-

rounded me. At the end of the second day of hard

riding, a goat herder waved me down. He told

me that I shouldn’t go further into the mountains.

There were “bad men with guns” ahead, most

likely gunrunners from the neighboring province.

Sitting in the field, I think about my daughter.

We live in a place that allows us the opportunity to

dream, to live freely and to use our voice against

injustice. This ride is about challenging the gen-

der barrier that prevents Afghan girls from riding

bikes and having access to independent mobility

and freedom.

I stand up. This isn’t where it ends. This is

where I begin again. This is not a failure, it’s a first

attempt, and the goal isn’t the summit. The goal is

the idea of the ride itself—for all the girls who are

told “no” because of their gender—and my work

is just beginning. Soon, we’ll see girls using bikes

to take back the streets and their rights of access

and mobility as part of a two-wheeled revolution.

What Do Kids Know?For starters, they know what fearlessness feels like. And how to pound the most fun out of a puddle. They know it’s more fun to walk slowly and check out every rock, every stream and every weird-looking bug. What we know is how to keep them warm and safe and dry and fed. We also know when it’s OK to let them get cold and wet and hungry. Because it doesn’t last forever. None of it.

Hand-Me-Down Hooligans

We’ve never seen a kid turn down a chance to crawl in pond muck, stomp through a constellation of puddles or reach for the next overhead jug. Which is why we use the same construction, testing and uncompromising fabrics as our adult products. The fact that these clothes only fit for a season or two makes us try even harder to ensure they will hold up to hand-me-down standards.
