Talk with Lauren Davies founder of Iron Keld Repairs; an outdoor gear repair service based in Kendal.
Learn tips for buying second hand clothes/gear, what to look out for and what to avoid, how to buy better, identify materials, construction and design features to help you choose better quality products which will last longer, how to care for your gear to help it last - waterproofs, equipment, activewear, zips (and common pitfalls)and simple tips on how to fix things yourself - with resources.
With time for questions at the end.
Lauren is a mountain biker, backpacker, climber, fell runner, canoeist…. the list goes on. As a result she uses a lot of gear so she understands how and why it fails. Lauren has worked in the outdoor industry for over 15 years which has resulted in a broad understanding of garment construction, technical fabrics, and how to fix them.
Our first 22 tickets were released on a special early offer and have now been claimed.
All remaining tickets are available at the standard price of £3.50.
