Patching your outdoor gear is quick and easy with a peel-and-stick repair patch. No sewing, no fuss, just repair tape that holds up against the elements, and is fully machine washable just 24 hours after you apply it. Whether it’s your favorite puffy or a tent you’ve had for years, you can keep it going with Tenacious Tape.

When the cold gets real, reliable gear and the ability to fix it matters. Our ambassador .be keeps the Camp & Trail Repair Kit close so she can handle rips, snags, and surprises without them ending her day.

The Camp & Trail Repair Kit is built for these moments, packed with essentials like durable patches and strong adhesives. It’s designed to keep layers, insulation, and soft goods functional when the terrain or weather tests them. Small enough to stash into a pack, but capable enough to keep the day moving, it’s a piece of gear that earns its spot on every trip.

You can’t predict everything in the mountains, but you can prepare for it.

Out there learning, leading, and carrying their own gear. 🌲
GEAR AID is honored to support North Cascades Institute’s Youth Leadership Adventures.

We'd like to thank Gear Aid () for getting another season of Youth Leadership Adventures out on the trail in comfort and style!

They sourced and generously donated new small frame, large capacity packs - the perfect fit for smaller students with plenty of space to haul their own gear.

Our newest repair kits just landed and they just might be our best yet. 🌟

The Camp & Trail Repair Kit is built for all the gear that gets you outside, on land. Rips in your tent, a leak in your pad, a snag on your pack… this is the kit you want in your bag.

The River & Sea Repair Kit is made for your gear that gets wet. Wetsuits, drysuits, fishing gear, inflatables, and all the stuff that takes a beating in or around the water.

Both kits come in a new durable metal tin, include alcohol wipes for better repair prep, and pack more patches than our classic Aquaseal FD and Seam Grip WP repair kits. These tins look good, travel well, and they make on the spot repairs way easier.

Dial in your repair kit and grab the one that fits your next trip. 🌊🏔️ Which one are you most excited for?

Winter is just around the corner, and now’s the time to get your gear ready before the first big dump of snow. ❄️

We recommend:

Cleaning and re-waterproofing your outerwear with Revivex Pro Cleaner and some DWR Spray, so your jacket actually sheds snow and water again.

Checking your boots for cracks or worn seams. Aquaseal SR can fix both before you end up with soggy feet.

Patching small tears and rips now (instead of your first day out) with Tenacious Tape.

And if you’ve had gear in storage all summer, give it a clean and dry run – make sure zippers, gaiters, gloves, and everything else are all working for you, not against you.

A little prep now = more fun in the snow later.
