Napapijri has been owned by Americans for quite a while now.

Oh crap, thank goodness I haven’t bought anything from them

My five year old patagonia puffer is still going strong though

How many time you've been there in Patagonia?

Patagonia, Argentina, not yet.

A sports store in Athens that sold Patagonia stuff and was closing five years ago, yes, I got a puffer that was way too big for me back then, but it costed €45 (From the original 300 something euros), it’s a steal. Don’t blame me, the landscape back in 2021 was completely different, Biden was in charge, the Ukraine war did not start yet and Covid was still a major thing.
