Outdoor Gear Repairs Ramp Up to Meet Increased Demand from Consumers

May 6, 2025

Patagonia is an outdoor industry pioneer when it comes to extending the life of its products through Worn Wear, its resale platform, and its extensive repairs services.

But that doesn’t mean the company can guarantee consumers will be interested in every initiative the California-based company takes to promote those services. Case in point: the company’s wader repair team was on tour again this spring, setting up shop at various angling and fly-fishing events in Colorado, Utah, and Montana to offer free assessments and repairs on any waders, whether they were purchased at Patagonia or not.
