What it does
Alpkit sells outdoor clothing, equipment and Sonder bicycles. Its site also offers in-store repairs, washing and reproofing for gear from any brand, with guides and a store finder.
Alpkit provides a useful alternative question before buying another jacket: whether the current one can be repaired or washed and reproofed. Its repair service explicitly accepts other brands, so that route extends beyond previous Alpkit purchases. The retail side separates activities such as camping, hiking, climbing, swimming and paddling, with Sonder bicycles forming another product line. Begin with repair or replacement as the actual need, then use the relevant service or shop route. Product guides and boot-measuring articles add preparation material for a purchase that depends on fit.
For a postal repair, buy the service, send clean kit with your order number and contact details, and include notes or a sketch of the work needed. Alpkit sends arrival and completion updates and posts the item back. You pay to send it in; the published service includes return postage. Ask the Repair Station first if the work is not listed.
