The GORE-TEX Gear Tour will be at Ellis Brigham stores in Covent Garden, London (16 October); Manchester (20 October); and Glasgow (22 October).
The GORE-TEX brand team will offer wash and care advice with support from Grangers, along with GORE-TEX garment repairs for those looking to bring life back to their favourite gear.
Ellis Brigham’s Marketing Director, Mark Brigham, said: “We’re hoping to keep that gear that stirs those ‘I wore this when…’ moments to continues to function as it should. We have a responsibility to make kit last and we are firm believers that your gear should fill your outdoor life with moments to savour and not end up in landfill.”
Scottish Mountain Gear, the GORE-TEX brand’s authorised repair centre, will be on hand for one day at each location to repair a select number of GORE-TEX items. The complimentary repair slots can be booked in advance, and include:
- Hot tape seal on a clean cut
- Hot tape seal on the neck and hood
- Simple patch and seal
- Zip slider replacement
- Velcro replacement on cuff
- Velcro replacement on main zip flap
Members of the GORE-TEX brand team will provide advice on additional repair needs and guidance on ongoing maintenance, with support from Grangers. Free Grangers product care samples and GORE-TEX temporary repair patches will be up for grabs, all of which will help to ensure longevity and performance.
Grangers will also be offering a free wash and care service for GORE-TEX products, with 25 bookable slots available for each location. Items will be sent away and returned to store for pick up at the same store location.
