Worn Wear Repair Tour
Patagonia's Worn Wear Tour is visiting towns and cities across Europe offering free repairs on broken zips, rips, tears and buttons, regardless of brand. That's because the longer things last, the less waste there is. This year, it's Andermatt's turn. Also in attendance: the freeride ski brand Faction, which will be offering free ski waxing, and Protect Our Winters Switzerland with an information booth.
Worn Wear Repair Tour
With the Worn Wear Tour, Patagonia is seeking to make a contribution to protecting the climate and the environment. The longer clothing items last and are worn, the fewer new ones have to be made. That's why the mending service is free, whatever the brand of clothing. The same goes for skis. If they're well maintained, they'll last longer. And with fresh wax, skiing is even more fun.
