TIP: Many outdoor manufacturers, such as Vaude or Löffler, offer a repair service. A tear in the membrane, a broken zip or a lost press stud are no reason to throw away your expensive clothing. Repairs are usually handled by the retailer. Always keep the proof of purchase! There are also companies that specialise in repairing functional clothing, such as Weidner Sportmoden-fabrik: www.weidner-sportmoden.de
