Playful Tear-Repairing Patches

Gear Aid Patches Offer a Fun Way to Help Repair Clothing and Gear

— June 9, 2016 — Art & Design
A hole in a jacket or the tent can quickly render your camping trip a lot less fun, so Gear Aid Patches are a cute and simple way to repair gear and add a touch of fun.

Coming in several color and design options, the patches are easy to use and will quickly mend tears, rips and holes in clothing, tents, gear and much more.

The peel and stick design of the patches enable users to leave the sewing kit at home and focus on getting back to the task at hand even faster. If not being used for repair, the Gear Aid Patches can also be used as a way to help give a touch of character to gear and clothing for kids.
