Best Kept Secret

Gear hounds and backcountry types keep a lot of good secrets.  I know a man, for instance, whose lifelong dream is to build solar-powered luxury loos with the best wilderness views in the British Isles. How’s that project going? Can’t tell you.

One of the best secrets I can tell you about is the Patagonia Outlet shop in Dillon, Montana. 


That’s the place where Patagonia offers seconds, overruns and discounted items year-round. They run weekly specials, too. You can find these on Patagonia's web site.

If you’re in Montana and anywhere nearby, it’s worth stopping in to browse. Here you’ll find basic items we always need to stock up on in my household, like children’s clothing, socks, hats and underwear, not to mention the diamonds in the rough. That's the deeply discounted apparel you’ve been waiting patiently for at your price range in your size, like down jackets, technical shells, a new pair of waders or the DAS parka.

Everything is sold as is. But still comes with the famous lifetime warranty. What could be better?

The Patagonia Outlet fulfills orders by phone or fax.
