[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]thanks for being nice, PPs.  You do 'get it' and I feel so stupid and small that I feel irritation at my friend.  (and yes, you DO need to get out there, 2 PPs :) ]

One day I was loading up the vehicle to go hiking/camping and, I am not making this up, friend started physically poking at [b]my sleeping bag and asked if it was Patagonia, "because it looks like Patagonia, that green color.[/b]  I don't like that green color ..."

I love Patagonia as a corporation and a state of mind -- Patagonia's not the problem here! -- it's the searching for confirmation that I spent a lot, rather than wondering if my bag sheds water properly.

OK, everyone get outdoors next weekend![/quote]

Not to put too fine a point on it but Patagonia does not sell sleeping bags.  They don't even sell backpacks. The don't sell fishing rods or ski equipment or hiking equipment.  They sell clothes, a good chunk of which is more casual than technical.

Your friend seems like a jerk, but you seem excessively sensitive abut it.[/quote]actually, i think they do sell day packs.  and i don't think OP was saying they sell sleeping bags; her friend was.i would argue that patagonia's roots are technical
but they have had to develop more general
stuff over the years to keep viable.

and i don't think the OP is being sensitive.  her friend is looking down on her by judging her gear when it sounds like she doesn't have a clue.
