Patagonia launches European wetsuit and outdoor gear repair tour

Patagonia is conducting its Worn Wear Wetsuit Repair Tour 2026 across Europe, running from September 9 to October 3. The mobile workshop initiative aims to extend the lifespan of gear by offering free repairs to surf and outdoor communities.

The tour includes 14 stops across eight countries: the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Switzerland. Notably, the service is not limited to Patagonia products; technicians will repair wetsuits and outdoor clothing from all brands.

In addition to fixing issues such as holes, tears, and broken zippers, the Worn Wear team provides education on gear maintenance. This includes demonstrating how to patch holes, re-impregnate hardshell jackets, and properly care for neoprene to prevent premature wear.
