[quote=Anonymous]OP, as a (former, before kids) backcountry hiker and climber, i understand where you are coming from.  a PP had a good point about patagonia giving back to the community and earth, so know that some proceeds from your friend's $ spent there is going to a good cause.  there is also a difference between owing something like a regulator vs. those patagonia dresses or puffer coats. i.e.  like anyone who wants to minimize weight would choose a puffer coat.  have your own internal chuckle.  i am certain your friend isn't selecting the techical gear here vs the fruity pieces designed to appeal to the general customer base.

i think the part that is so annoying is that she is making fun of you for owning less expensive gear.  maybe you should start pointing out the technical aspects of your gear as a way of teaching her why people *really* select gear.  i.e. yeah but my 14oz fleece is 10oz less for me to carry with me on the trail than patagonia X product.  i'd also ask her point blank if she'd like to test out her "gear" on the trail with you.  that should be a reality hit where it counts.
