Superb! Super friendly and my kit has come back as good or better than new! Jane even managed to source an original Alpkit zip pull to make the jumper look original. Totally recommend

Just picked up my sling bag after being repaired not only was I super impressed it’s been fixed but genuinely how it was fixed was nothing short of genius. Absolute fab job and super impressed with what’s been done and better than it was when I bought it. Highly recommend. Thankyou guys so much. 👍

On holiday, we had an issue with our awning after a terrible day of wind and rain .One of the storm straps got damaged. Called RWC spoke with Martin regarding a repair to the awning , he said bring it in for a look. Took it in and it was fully repaired in less than an hour. Excellent service lovely people would definitely recommend.

RWC were brilliant in repairing my damaged clothes. I had my fav soft leather jacket that had a small tear on one shoulder. Jane added fab shoulder patches to repair and protect from future damage. She has also repaired my shorts. I bought them in Oz 19yrs ago on my honeymoon and LOVE them. They were literally falling apart and should have gone in the bin, but are just too loved to ditch. RWC has completely relined them in green and purple, so i'll have years of use out of them.
Great service, value and product.

I recently had my Carinthia Multicam jacket repaired by RWC and couldn’t be happier with the experience.
The service was excellent from start to finish. They responded quickly to my inquiry, provided a clear quote, and turned the work around fast. The repair itself looks solid and professional the stitching and patching blend well with the original fabric and should hold up for a long time.
Highly recommend if you need outdoor or tactical gear fixed. Good service and fast responses made the whole process painless.

Amazing service first class work. The replaced my original broken jacket zip, replacing the old with a superior zip. The owner managed to squeeze me in last minute which was greatly appreciated as I was leaving the area the next day. The owner was very friendly, I would highly recommend.

Awesome work. Used these guys a few times now to repair my outdoor gear. Had to go looking for the newest repair on a hole in my jacket sleeve. I could barely see it. Thanks 👌🏻
  
 
  
 
 
 
   
 
 
 

Latest News!

It’s been 6 weeks since we reopened the workshop after our summer break. The workshop has been busy with many caravan and camper awnings being repaired before being folded up and put away for winter. 

We’re now into winter kit season and starting to see ski clothing through the door. 

In other news:

Jane completed the Great North Run. Becca absolutely smashed the Manchester half. Mart has achy legs, training for Kendal Mountain Festival 50k whilst Ali spent 3 nights on a volcano in Lombok, Indonesia! Happy adventuring everyone 🙂 

Here at RWC Outdoor Gear Repairs, we repair all brands of outdoor gear. We want you to get the most out of your kit, thus saving repairable gear from going into landfill.

Living and working in the awesome Lake District, Cumbria we live and breathe the outdoors. Spending most of our days in outdoor gear (apparently there are rare occasions when rocking a pair of boulder pants isn’t appropriate I’m told!) we question what effect the modern world of consumerism and fast fashion is having upon the environment we love so much. How sustainable is the outdoor gear industry? What can we as consumers do?

What does RWC stand for?

The ‘Really Weird Club’

Founding members Christine and Pete. Growing up in Sheffield they were part of a growing crowd of climbers. Young and full of dreams of Scottish winters and Derbyshire crags they knew the value of buying wisely and repairing (to the point of Pete being seen wearing this jacket last winter, saying, “it’s not retro, it’s original”)

Fast forward a few years and the idea of repairing your gear, wearing retro and looking after the playground that we call the outdoors was certainly not a cool concept. We were a pretty weird crew!

Fast forward a few decades and the family grew as did the concept and the Really Weird Club was born.
