Repair your old outdoor gear!

Repair - don't replace!

This time of credit crunch / recession is seeing a surge in the sales of Walk and Travel repair products for outdoor gear.

McNett are leading the way in products that you can use to repair your old outdoor gear, rather than replacing it. McNett make Gore Tex Repair Patches, ideal for covering up small holes and tears where the water may be getting in, which you don't want for a UK winter walking season. McNett also make the wonderful Seamgrip. Seamgrip is a rubberised solution that you can squeeze out of the tube to hold together tears, replace worn out seam seal tape and fill small holes in everything from outdoor clothing to tents to rucksacks. Always keep a handy tube of Seamgrip with your outdoor gear... just in case.

The last product the Walk and Travel sell from McNett is Freesole, a flexible, water resistant repair adhesive, ideal for sticking the rand or sole back onto your walking boots, trainers or walking shoes.

So, save money during the credit crunch and repair your outdoor gear with Walk and Travels outdoor gear repair products and keep warm and dry out walking this winter. (Saving a few extra pounds for the pub at the end of the walking trail - lovely!)
