Iain speaks with ‘Repair Claire’, who heads up the excellent repair service at outdoor brand Montane. 

This continues the discussion from Episode 255 about sustainability and the importance of extending the life of our outdoor kit.

Rather like Arcteryx’s ‘Rebird’ project, featured in Episode 218, it’s important to highlight the great work on sustainability that brands like Montane are doing. In this chat, Claire tells us which are the most common repairs, what happens if a garment is beyond help and why she doesn’t like patches in different colours!
