Why DWR Matters
DWR causes water to bead up and roll off, instead of soaking in. When it wears off, you’ll feel it - fast.

How to Restore It
Clean off dirt and oils with a technical fabric cleaner, then reapply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment for renewed protection.

What to Use
Revivex Durable Water Repellent is designed for your outerwear. Pair it with Revivex Pro Cleaner for best results.
WORN IN BUT NOT WORN OUT
Rips and tears don’t have to end the story. With Tenacious Tape, a quick patch keeps your favorite gear going strong. Simple, reliable repairs so you and your family can keep wearing what you love.

When the cold gets real, reliable gear and the ability to fix it matters. Our ambassador @amand.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. #CareForAdventure

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.

Meet our ambassadors for the 2025 fall & winter season! These incredible humans are exploring new trails, chasing epic experiences, and pushing themselves and their gear in the outdoors. From hiking long-distance trails to paddling wild rivers, shredding mountains, and capturing the moments that matter, they all bring curiousity, positivity, and creativity into everything they do.
They’re more than just outdoor enthusiasts. They are storytellers, repair champions, and advocates for caring for the gear that carries them into the wild. Over the next couple of months, we’ll be sharing their adventures, as well as insights into how they keep their gear ready for whatever the outdoors throws their way.
Join us in welcoming Garrison, Kayla, Paul, Rafa, Robert, and Ryan to the crew. We can’t wait to follow along as they inspire us to explore, care for gear, and adventure. 🏔️🏕️

The Swift Campout countdown has begun! Over the next few days, adventurers in 34 countries will load up their bicycles to go bikepacking for the summer solstice this weekend. Swift Campout is the longest running global bikepacking event on the books, and GEAR AID is excited to be a part of it this year. We’ll be showing bikepackers how to repair their gear, from jackets to sleeping pads, and repairing gear for the riders who are camping on Vashon Island with us. Head over to swiftcampout.com to be inspired.
Are you a fly-by-the-seat of your pants kind of person? Then jump in and join thousands of like minded adventure-seekers by packing camp gear on your bicycle to kick off summer with a night under the stars. Happy Swift Campout, and Happy Solstice!

Public lands are not for sale. A new federal amendment threatens to force the sale of millions of acres of our shared public lands from BLM wilderness to national forests. These are the places where we all come together to hike, fish, hunt, bike, and breathe. And once they’re gone, they’re gone.
This isn’t about party lines. Americans overwhelmingly support keeping public lands public - this is about access, heritage, and protecting the land.
Use the script we wrote to call your senators, tell them about your experiences outdoors and the importance of public lands to you, and let them know: we won’t trade wild places for short-sighted politics.
We’ve added a link in our bio with more information, and an easy way to send a message to your senators via @outdooralliance.
EDIT: Tim Sheehy replaced Jon Tester as the senator for Montana. The number is still correct.

Because great gear deserves more time outside.
Use Tenacious Tape to fix your favorite, well-loved technical garments and gear. To use Tenacious Tape, you’ll just cut a piece in the size you need, making sure to round the corners (this helps prevent it from coming off no matter how much you use your gear). Then you’ll peel off the backing, and press it on over your rip or tear. It’s that easy.
Have you used Tenacious Tape Before? 🤘🏔️
