Trade in your used Patagonia gear.

Trade in can be done online and mailed directly to us, or you can take your items to a Patagonia-owned store.

We’ll take your used Patagonia clothing and gear that is functional and in good condition and give you a merchandise credit that can be used at Patagonia.com, WornWear.com and in Patagonia-owned stores. A $7 shipping fee will be deducted from online trade-ins. 

There are a few important steps to trading in online: 

1. Watch our Trade In video to make sure your gear is ready.
2. Use our online Trade In quiz to see if your gear is eligible.
3. Print the shipping label and return authorization slip to include with the package.
4. Mail us your gear. 

We’ll give you a credit for gear that meets the program’s requirements. You’ll have the option during checkout to have any ineligible gear recycled or sent back to you free of charge.

Please allow 7–10 business days for processing after we receive your trade-in. Processing may take longer during peak times or trade in promotions.

Trade-in is available in the US only.
