    It's LEO/Military only because folks outside a government agency are hard-pressed to justify spending $310 on a pair of pants.

    I keed, I keed. Patagonia makes brilliant stuff, and they've recently taken the unusual step of asking their customers an interesting question:

    A 2010 case study by Harvard University’s business school pointed out that, “most radically,” Patagonia has asked its customers to “buy less and think twice before they purchased a garment.” Or as Mr. Chouinard frames his anti-sale sales pitch: “Do you really need it, or do you just want it?”
    The owner of the company seems like an interesting guy.
    Grammar is like personal hygiene - you can ignore it if you like, but don't be surprised when people make assumptions about you.

    I thought the USMC ILBE pack was kinda iffy compared to Arcteryx civvy bags. It's not even manufactured by Arcteryx, they're made by propper. And yeah, Patagonia makes good stuff, I have an old PCU L5 jacket. FWIW, they no longer have the contract to produce the soft shell jackets for USSOCOM, although they did for a long time.

    I can get (even if I dont always agree with) why companies have Mil/LEO programs, but why active only? How does a person that may be out of service in a month differ from the person that finished their service but would like the same gear opportunities.

    Because they no longer have a requirement to have great gear at work...

    Hence the reason why they've earned the nickname Pata-Gucci

    Most active duty wouldnt have the ability to wear this gear though either except on their personal time as uniform requirements would not allow for it.
