Patagonia’s Iconic Catalogs
Patagonia’s iconic catalogs have a long history with the company’s consumer influence in outdoor adventure sports and environmental activism. In the early days at Real Cheap Sports, store staff relied heavily on catalogs to fulfill phone order for outlet Patagonia product. The images used by Patagonia were iconic, telling a story and often including humor. This image shows the cover from Spring, 1998. 🤎 (By living for weeks at a time in a network of tree-sitting platforms, activists defend North America’s largest unprotected old growth redwood ecosystem.)

Over time, the shop doubled in size, and was sold in 2008 to long time store manager and climber, Tim, and his wife, Ashley, a local hiker. Legendary for its authentically friendly vibe and knowdedgeable staff, our shop offers weekly deals on Patagonia closeouts and retail gear and clothing from top quality outdoor brands for hiking, camping, climbing, and trail running.

★★★★★Love this place. Picked up a nice Patagonia full zip jacket. Carrries mostly last season items, but some colors and items are timeless. Classics.
★★★★★Staff are friendly, patient and really care about finding you the right gear for your adventures, whether you’re a newbie or a total gear nerd. I’ve spent more time here discussing the merits of wool than I should admit. Their stuff has a very reasonable price to quality ratio and they have a good sales rack.
★★★★★Can’t say enough great things about this store! They have a very well curated selection of gear and super friendly and knowledgeable staff that are incredibly helpful. The staff use the products they sell and have a lot of experience to help you pick out the right items.
★★★★★Always look forward to going to this long-standing Mecca of sporting gear for the practicing spors enthusiast. Their selection of hiking and camping gear and gadgets is exceptionally fine. When they say “real cheap,” they aren’t kidding. Same price or lower than online and comparable stores. Best of all - they have real experts there to help you…all of whom are friendly.
★★★★★If you want real advice from those who use these puffy jackets, backpacks, tents, pants, stoves, climbing gear and more…this IS the spot. Such value in a gear shop that is operated by people with real world experience with the clothing and equipment. Don’t delay.
