Patagonia Black Hole Waist Pack

Patagonia is a flagship American outdoor clothing and gear brand, originally founded by Yvon Chouinard in Ventura, California, in 1973. The brand has achieved global recognition for its commitment to high-quality technical gear and its pioneering environmental activism within the fashion industry.

While the brand is rooted in California, its manufacturing is distributed globally to highly specialized textile factories. Products like the Black Hole waist pack series are predominantly manufactured in Vietnam. In a groundbreaking corporate restructuring in 2022, the Chouinard family transferred 100% of the company's voting stock to the Patagonia Purpose Trust and all non-voting stock to the Holdfast Collective, a non-profit dedicated to fighting the climate crisis, ensuring the brand's profits are used for environmental protection.
