Repair program and loaner gear

Most repairs take 5–7 business days. Need gear for a trip in the meantime? Ask about a loaner.

Inès Moreau · Team Lead, Product & Warranty1 min read · Updated Oct 1, 2026

We repair jackets, packs, tents and boots with our partner workshop in Minneapolis. Warranty repairs are free; other repairs are quoted before any work starts.

Typical turnaround

  • Zippers and buckles: 3–5 business days
  • Down baffles and seams: 5–7 business days
  • Boot resoling: about 3 weeks ($65 including return shipping)

Loaner gear

If your gear is in for a warranty repair and you have a trip booked, we can lend you a similar pack, tent or jacket from our loaner shelf. Just ask in your warranty ticket.

Repairs that aren't covered

Accidents happen. We repair burns, tears and broken buckles at cost and quote the price first. Most fabric patches cost $15–$30 including return shipping.

Can I exchange boots I've already worn outside once?

PipBot10:13 AM

Yes — footwear worn outdoors can be exchanged for a different size within 30 days if the soles show light wear only. Here's how:
