Patagonia Down Jacket: My Patagonia coat leaks down.

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 12:03:50 -0700

My Patagonia coat leaks down. I turned in one in hopes the new one wouldn't leak, but it does. I can't wear it with anything black or navy or charcoal. Very disappointed. Was told to run it through the driver many times--that didn't work.

Patagonia Outerwear: Patagonia ski jacket unglued inside neck

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 10:12:13 -0700

My Patagonia ski jacket has a neck insert on the inside collar that's almost as long as the collar.

It partially came unglued after washing. Can I glue it back on, and what glue should I use?

Outerwear: Would you repair ski pant cuffs with small cuts from skiing?

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 07:34:47 -0700

My Patagonia ski pants are about 10 years old and the only problem is some small holes that have developed on the inside bottom of the reinforced cuff. They now gather snow inside. This normal wear-and-tear is 100% on me and I’m willing to pay. Is this something that you can help me with? Thanks!

While skiing in powder yesterday, I fell and the released ski evidently ripped a hole in my one-year-old Powder Bowl jacket near the left outside pocket. Is this a warranty issue? If not, is there a patch available or should a needle and thread be used?

Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket: Can I DIY-repair an adjustable elastic waistband that has detached?

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 03:02:33 -0700

I bought my Patagonia coat only a couple of months ago and a few weeks ago I noticed the elastic waistband was simply hanging from the side of my coat. It seemed to have detached from the interior of the waist section of the coat. I was thinking of sending it in to get repaired but noticed that you help customers repair stuff themselves. I would be happy to do that if someone explained how that could be done without me ruining my coat.

Thank you in advance,

Max

The zipper still works on the jacket but on one side of the zipper the material pulled away. Suggestions on how to fix it?

It seem like the seams lost their adhesive and just pulled away
