The unchanged part of the changed baggy shorts.

Patagonia's longtime staple, the "Baggies Shorts," which come in two styles, 5" and 7", and boast a wide variety of colors, are now available in "Net Plus," a fabric made from recycled fishing nets. We asked two people who have been loyal users of "baggy's shorts" for a long time, artist Jerry Ukai and Hideaki Makino, who works at a select store and is known as a serious runner, to talk all about the appeal of these shorts.

Patagonia and Net Plus.

In the city, in the mountains, on the beach, and in other activities. Patagonia's products have the quality and functionality to withstand any situation. The brand's commitment to environmental conservation continues to lead the industry.

A port town in central Chile. The company selects from a large amount of discarded fishing nets to be transformed into net-plus fabrics.

For example, the "Baggies Shorts" are made of 100% net-plus post-consumer recycled nylon, which uses recycled fishing nets to help reduce marine plastic pollution. The Baggies Shorts retain the same quick-drying, silhouette, and rugged multi-functionality that makes them ideal for wearing in and out of the water. Incidentally, the sewing is Fair Trade Certified, making it an ethical product in many ways.

Patagonia has already recovered and recycled more than 1,000 tons of discarded fishing nets through the development of NetPlus. We will continue to use NetPlus recycled nylon in more and more of our products, further accelerating our corporate philosophy of "doing business to save the planet.
