GEAR AID AMBASSADORS

Every repair helps your gear go further, keeps it out of the landfill, and lightens your impact on the places you love. Our ambassadors live this mentality — they find simple ways to extend the life of the gear they rely on and share what they've learned along the way. It's not just maintenance. It's a mindset.
