While standard quality embroidered patches withstand normal Alaska conditions, enhanced weather resistance benefits patches facing extreme exposure. UV resistant thread prevents fading during long summer daylight hours when Alaska experiences twenty plus hours of sun daily. Weather resistant backing materials perform better in variable Alaska precipitation and humidity. However, most quality patches use these materials as standard without Alaska specific upgrades. Patches for extreme outdoor use including mountaineering gear, fishing equipment, and winter expedition clothing benefit from maximum weather resistance. Standard patches work fine for typical Alaska clothing, bags, and indoor applications without special weatherproofing.
