Patagonia: June 2026

Based on our analysis of 316 Patagonia products, the average garment is 23.6% natural fibre. The most common single fibre is Polyester (in 53.8% of products). The remaining material is typically synthetic — polyester, polyamide, or acrylic.

Sometimes — cotton appears in 21.2% of the 316 Patagonia products we analyzed, but it's usually blended with synthetics. Only 15.5% of items are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre), so check the composition before assuming a piece is pure cotton.

Effectively no. We didn't find any Patagonia products that are 100% cotton (or near-pure, 95%+) in our database. Cotton at Patagonia is almost always blended with elastane, polyester, or other fibres.

50% of Patagonia products are polyester-heavy, meaning polyester makes up 50% or more of the garment. This is above average for fast fashion retailers.

50% of Patagonia products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 23.6%, so the rest of the catalog is still leaning synthetic in most cases.

15.5% of Patagonia products are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre). Only a small fraction of their range avoids synthetic fibres entirely.

Fabric composition is one factor in sustainability. With an average of 23.6% natural fibre, Patagonia is below average on this measure. Natural fibres generally biodegrade and shed fewer microplastics than synthetics.
