By showing it a bit of love, having it professionally mended and washed and restoring it to its old self, your gear will stay with you for many adventures to come. Ever tried drying your down jacket or sleeping bag and realised the fluff was a lot more difficult to restore than you expected? Looking after outdoor gear is time consuming and tricky to get right, and getting it wrong can have pretty big consequences – so why not leave it to the experts at Cotswold Outdoor and utilise their repair and care service.
