Patagonia, Haleiwa

Patagonia is a region in the southern part of Argentina and Chile that is so freezing, penguins wander the streets more regularly than people. The outdoorsmen who founded this company provide rugged, lightweight outdoor clothing that can stand up to these -and worse- temperatures. The store sells gear for biking, climbing, surfing and camping, among other activities. It's most famous for its durable, comfortable jackets, but it also sells pants, hats and other clothing items. There are 10 Patagonia stores in eight US states; the Hawai'i location is among the newest.
