Are you ready for the changing of the seasons? Here at Rugged Thread, we believe in using what you have rather than buying new. We want to help you make an impact, and repairing your winter gear in the off-season is a great way to make that happen!

Let’s start with your favorite coat. We all have one that we can’t live without, right? But nothing ruins a good day outdoors like a broken zipper. Fear not, with a little inspection, you can easily identify the issue and get it repaired.

Can’t spot any damage to the zipper? You may just need a simple slider change!

While you’re at it, give your coat a thorough check for any tears or holes to get even more life out of it.

When you hit the mountain, it’s important that your snow pants are reliable. But sometimes, you may find that your zipper won’t zip or there may be a tear in the fabric. To ensure your pants are in good condition, check the seams and turn the pants inside out to identify any issues. If you notice that the seam tape is no longer sticking, your waterproof pants may no longer serve their purpose. Fortunately, adding seam tape is an easy fix that can help to seal up any leaks. We don’t want you to forget about your base layers either, so give them a thorough check using the methods stated.

Last but not least, let’s talk backpacks. They’re our trusty sidekick on every adventure, but they take a beating. Check all the hardware like buckles and straps, and make sure those zippers are in tip-top shape before you hit the trail or slopes.

So, are you ready to take on the changing of seasons with confidence? With a little inspection and some repairs, you’ll be ready for anything that comes your way. Click here to fill out a quote!
