Services

Gear re-Store is the only third-party repair company with full North American coverage, offering our customers premium repairs for premium products out of our Calgary and Denver locations. We specialize in the aftermarket repair, restoration, and Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatments for a wide variety of products, primarily outdoor gear and apparel. Some of our clients include Vail Resorts, Canada Goose, Patagonia, and Helly Hansen to name a few. We pride ourselves on high quality workmanship, quick turnaround times, and excellent communication with our customers.

DWR Reapplication

Many outdoor garments have a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment applied to the outside of the fabric. This is what causes rain to bead up and roll off the garment. However, the DWR finish breaks down over time and you’ll notice that your once water repellent item will begin to “wet out”. Garments that wet out do not breathe and become uncomfortable to wear. Gear re-Store can professionally restore this DWR finish and bring garments back to their top performance.

At Gear re-Store, we use Grangers products to both professionally launder gear and reapply its water repellent finish, creating high quality, long lasting results. We operate top-of-the-line commercial cleaning equipment that has been specifically programmed to get optimal DWR results while using minimal water.

Technical Repairs

Gear re-Store is committed to quality; our team of sewing technicians is capable of doing complicated repairs including repairing and re-sealing waterproof breathable membranes in pants, skiwear, tents, sleeping bags, back packs, etc… all while maintaining “factory finished” looks.

We work with a wide variety of materials and brands and are proud that both of our repair centres are Gore authorized, representing two of four Gore authorized repair centres in North America.

We are also an authorized repair centre for Patagonia, Helly Hansen, Columbia, The North Face, Canada Goose, Bogner, FlyLow, Rab and many other brands.

Gear Tracer

Not only do we offer superior repair and laundering services but our proprietary RFID software, Gear Tracer, enables us to track the progress of each item throughout the entire process. Data collected during the intake, laundering, repair, and return of your item(s) can be available to you in real-time. You’ll receive a text or email when we receive your garments, and when they are clean, fixed, and on their way back to you. You’ll rest easy knowing that your items are in good hands.

In addition, we sell Gear Tracer licenses and software to various organizations. This technology has limitless possibilities. Common applications include inventory management, life-cycle analysis, shrinkage protection, and even marketing opportunities. We would be happy to work with you to incorporate Gear Tracer into your business, based on your specific needs.
