Patagonia Return Policy Broken Down

Patagonia doesn’t have a defined return time frame. You can return products at any time, but items returned more than one year after the purchase will be refunded with a Patagonia merchandise credit.

Before the COVID-19 outbreak, Patagonia processed all returns within a week of receiving the items at the warehouse. Although the company kept the customer-centric approach during the pandemic and lockdowns, you can expect delays because of the new safety protocols. It might take up to three weeks to process your return or 19 weeks if you shipped the item for repair.

How Can I Return Products to Patagonia?

You can return unwanted or defective products via mail or to any Patagonia store. Returns are possible to authorized dealers but only for the items you purchased from them originally.
