I bought a pair of Patagonia Capilene long underwear in 1985. Just had to retire them last year. That’s 37 years of use. I guarantee Patagonia would have replaced them for free, if I had asked, as they guarantee for life.

I’ve purchased 8 Patagonia jackets (they call some of them down sweaters) for me and my family in the last 3 years. Have had issues with 4 of them. IMO, you are paying $250-$700 for a $50-$100 jacket so a replacement or two is built into the cost.

I think they do not guarantee for when fabrics wear out. They might replace it, but it's not their official policy and more their goodwill...

I have some of their stuff and I think the quality is worth it, regardless of the warranty. To me, a good warranty does not make a good product :)
