The alarm clock rings early on this holiday. From the window you can see the mighty mountain waiting to be climbed. You quickly throw on your new weatherproof Gore Tex jackets and after a good breakfast, you set off straight away. And then it happens: On the way to the mountain, a bush with nasty little thorns tears a hole in the jacket. This ruins the jacket's closed eco-system. More than annoying, but what to do?
That's exactly what Gear Aid repair products are for. With repair materials for outdoor equipment, cleaning agents and detergents, the company has set itself the task of extending the service life of your outdoor products while protecting your wallet and the environment. The products are quickly stowed away in your luggage and can save many an adventure when you're out and about.
The fabric patches for Gore Tex material and other membrane fabrics are particularly popular.
The Gore-Tex Repair Kit "Tenacious Tape Gore-Tex" can be used to quickly tape over small holes and tears and can withstand several wash and dry cycles. A tear in the tent is quickly sealed with the Seam Grip WP. So you stay warm and dry. The cleaning agents and detergents prevent material degradation and make your equipment more durable.
Gear Aid has now been on the market for over 35 years. Known as McNett until 2021, Duane and Nancy McNett started their family business in New York in 1981. They began by selling rain gear for golfers. After many requests for repair kits for their products, the company developed extremely durable adhesive for water equipment. Gear Aid now offers a wide range of products for every outdoor adventure, whether you are camping, mountain sports, climbing, diving or fishing.
Instead of replacing your favourite equipment straight away, the products make it possible to save your wallet and nature's resources. The motto at Gear Aid is „Care and Repair“ – Care and Repair. We pay attention to sustainability in our product range. And by giving you the opportunity to use your equipment for longer, you are helping to protect the environment.
So you should definitely add some Gear Aid products to your packing list for your next trip.
