>associated them with Silicon Valley bro types

Patagonia themselves dislike this association, going so far as to refuse to make clothing for many of these people.

And the reason the bros like it is because it's legitimately good quality and it looks good. You can wear it on the slopes and keep it on at après-ski, so to speak.

Also, my personal endorsement: I love my Patagonia fleece vest. I got mine used on Ebay 7 years ago and it has held up that long.
