So far, more than 118 metric tons of discarded old fishing nets have been transformed into designs such as worthy warm jackets and vests, responding to the brand's "Reduce Waste. Wear Recycle" concept with practical actions and wholeheartedly solving the problem of ocean plastic pollution.

However, in recent years, Japanese people have been searching for Patagonia water sports clothing because of the functionality of the Urban Outdoor craze. Many of the designs are derived from Patagonia’s old styles, such as the popular Daiwa Pier 39 and SSZ Parka with large chest pockets, which are obviously based on Patagonia’s SSZ Jacket, which is designed for fishing.
As for another series launched by the brand for paddling water sports, whether it is the acquisition of professional paddling brand Lotus Designs or its own Patagonia Paddlesports branch, many waterproof clothing have special pockets with mesh zippers, which is a very iconic design. Coupled with the eye-catching color matching, it has also influenced the development of trends in recent years. However, around 2008, Patagonia withdrew from the paddling apparel market, making this series of designs even rarer and more affordable in the second-hand market.
