«Into the White» – local hero at outdoor brand Patagonia

Patagonia
«I am proud to announce a new partnership with one of my favorite outerwear companies in the business – Patagonia»

It is not only because of the good quality clothes, it is as well the spirit of the brand that convinced me. «Build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis» thats Patagonia’s Mission Statement. And I am proud and thankful to be a part of it. As a freeride and backcountry guide I spend around 150 days per year out in the mountains. Reason enough for me to choose the best product to keep me warm and dry on cold powder days and long splitboard missions. Patagonia outerwear is super functional, it looks amazing and the best about it, there’s this special feeling of doing something good to the environment when you’re wearing them.
