Repair Services

Unfortunately, we no longer offer in-house repairs. However, we’ve partnered with a third-party company, Rugged Thread, to provide discounted repair services. You can request a quote from them here.


Pack Repair

For small holes or tears, we recommend using Tenacious Tape on both sides of the fabric. For larger damage, you can stitch the area with any non-cotton thread and then apply Tenacious Tape over both sides of the repair. Be sure to clean the fabric first, let it dry, and then apply the tape.

Buckle Repair

A simple and quick method to repair a buckle can be found here.


Shelter Repair


For shelter repair, we tested that the Tenacious Tape Silnylon Patches are best for wall + bathtub floor repairs and can be especially reinforced with tape on both sides of hole. We recommend using Seam Grip SIL Silicone Tent Sealant for outside repair such as the pull out patches and Seam Grip WP for the inside seam tape. There are specific application instructions on the packaging.

To help extend the lifespan of your shelter, you can apply a waterproofing spray. We highly recommend Gear Aid’s products, especially their Revivex line, which offers both waterproofing and cleaning sprays for shelters, clothing, and other gear. You can explore their full range here.


Begin at the C7 vertebra at the base of your neck. To locate it, bend your neck forward and feel for the first bump at the base—this is where you’ll start your measurement.

Next, find the midpoint between your iliac crests. To locate the iliac crests, cup your hipbones on both sides and find the center point along your spine. This midpoint is where your thumbs should be pointing.

Lastly, you'll need assistance measuring from the C7 vertebra to your iliac crest. This will give you your torso measurement.
