Outdoor retailer Patagonia has earned a level of respect over the years, both for its quality products and its commitment to conservation and outdoor initiatives. It has also earned the nickname “Patagucci” for its steep prices and tendency to be worn by people whose idea of hiking is taking the stairs at the office instead of the elevator.

If you’re like me, you dig the gear but not the hit your wallet takes when you buy it – but from now through August 25th, Patagonia is running one of its huge 50%-off sales, with deals on everything from t-shirts to down jackets to swimsuits and Capilene baselayers (get ready for winter!).

These deals usually sell out fairly quickly, so get in there and see if you can save some cash on something on your wish list!
