DESCRIPTION
It happens to us all and gear failure in the field is inevitable; having the tools at hand to repair them, however, can mean the difference between a dream trip and a defeated drive home.
Like a first-aid kit for your equipment, the Worn Wear™ Repair Roll from Patagonia adapts to each trip's unique potential repair disasters, so you can turn gear failures into stories to tell when you get home. Contains a Worn Wear™ Field Repair Kit, plus a QR code link to videos for helpful repair tips and tricks. Designed to integrate with Patagonia's other kits - it lies flat in their Black Hole Cube - Large allowing you to integrate it into even larger repair or tool kits. Exterior lash points let you attach bulkier items to the Repair Roll or use them to secure the Repair Roll in a pack or to the back of a vehicle.

PROVENANCE AND ETHICS
Patagonia was founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973, the company's roots are in clothing for rock and alpine climbing, but they now produce a diverse mix of apparel targeted towards skiers, snowboarders, surfers and climbers. Patagonia are a world leader in creating ethical, sustainable clothing.
Repair: Fixing your gear is part of Patagonia's commitment to a new model for the production, consumption, and ownership of apparel - taking responsibility for their products for the whole of their lifecycle and allowing customers to join them in repairing and keeping it in use.
Recycled Polyester: Polyester is a naturally water-repellent material that can withstand the elements. Using polyester fibre made from mechanically recycled plastic bottles reduces CO2 emissions, and Patagonia are working toward eliminating all virgin polyester in their products by 2025.
Fair Trade: Patagonia now use more than 20 Fair Trade factories that specialise in the production of outdoor clothing, paying a premium for every Patagonia item that is made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory. They actively encourage other brands that do business in those factories to join them in the Fair Trade movement, ensuring living wages within the supply chain.
