Does Patagonia make yoga pants? Then I could offend everyone at once.

Can I wear my Uggs with my yoga pants and Patagonia sweater or must I wear my North Face hiking shoes with them?


Dont laugh - I am at the one who wants a Patagonia sweater and I do own both yoga pants and Uggs and I could conceivably wear them all at once for a "hike" around the neighborhood with the dog on a cold day.

Hey, I'm not laughing. At least you have a dog to walk.

I resent that. I wear the top of the line yoga pants. Just last night I had to stretch to a high shelf to reach for a bottle of wine. Your really shouldn't judge.

Well, you can judge for the typo but the stretching is totally true and should be judgement-free.

This is how I feel about people who drive 3/4 ton 4WD tanks at 0.5 MPH over speed bumps.

At least Patagonia gives back to he community and is super conscious about avoiding sweatshop labor.

Patagonia clearly markets to people who are not using their products for extreme hiking. Patagonia is only slightly less ubiquitous than North Face for casual wear. Frankly it's nice stuff - I want one of their $200 down sweater things and I intend to wear it for walking the dog. I really wouldn't let it bother you so much.

Tell her to STFU with a loving smile.

Specifically, the Patagonia label. However she is proudly inactive and also does not go on any outdoor excursions that involve moving your body or harsh elements like rain. Or wind, snow, sun.

Thank you for letting me vent about something I freely admit is inconsequential. This only affects me when she wrinkles her nose at whatever I'm wearing to go hiking and asks me, What is that?!? Since I can't tell her to STFU in those moments, I come to you here DCUM for release. thank you.
