the Patagonia calf length rain coat I bought new on sale and use on tour is now 25 years old. I keep going back to it after trying the newest waterproof breathable invention when they fail. I only wish Patagonia made an up to date one from lighter materials. Good design,materials and construction and very durable. I also have a 12 year old pair of Patagonia pants that are great for bike touring. I cannot seem to wear them out either. Glad I live 25 miles from their head office and find great sale items like the raincoat and pants there.
