If you’re looking for an eco-friendly version of a more traditional looking puffer jacket, Patagonia is where it’s at. This California-based company has long led the way (since the 1950s!) in corporate social responsibility and environmental initiatives and continues to push boundaries and improve their sustainable product range. Not only have they helped move the outerwear and technical wear industry towards higher environmental standards, Patagonia even helped push business across the US to close their doors on Election Day to support engagement in democracy. Whether you need a winter jacket, a rain jacket, or a warm mid-layer for chilly nights, Patagonia has you covered. Many of their coats are FairTrade Certified and Patagonia were a founding member of 1% for the Planet, donating 1% of annual sales to nonprofit partners supporting environmental solutions. The one downside of Patagonia is that they still use some PFC coatings for their outerwear, although they've switched two-thirds of products to PFC-free waterproof treatments already. They have repeatedly addressed this issue too, and have invested millions of dollars in trying to figure out a high-performance alternative. Patagonia remains one of the most environmentally committed companies around.
