Extend the Life of your Gear with Noso Patches + Giveaway

I love wearing down and I do invest in expensive gear if I know it is going to keep me warm. However, I don’t like the fact that some of my favorite gear always feels “fragile” to me. I worry about rip and tears (which is a very valid concern!)

I am starting to go through our winter gear preparing for colder days and checking for holes, tears, etc. It’s the perfect time to do some repairs too.

This year we are thrilled to get to try out the brand new company, Noso Patches. Based out of Jackson, Wyoming, they are cheap (especially compared to buying a new coat!), easy to use, and durable. Even better? They come in six different colors and a variety of designs so you can personalize your gear too (rips or not!)

To adhere a permanent patch:

  1. Clean the area with isopropyl alcohol.
  2. Throw it in the dryer on LOW for 15 minutes.
  3. Rub in a circular motion for 30 seconds.

Before adhering (see tear in jacket above the patch):

After I threw it in the dryer:

You can also use the patches without adhering them permanently if you’re just using them for a fashion statement.

I do hope they’ll come in more colors in the future…and would love the option of being able to purchase them singly. I’d also love to see trees, tents, moose, bears, etc. eventually! The possibilities are endless.

Amelia lives with her husband and five young children outside of Jackson, WY in Grand Teton National Park. As a mom, she quickly learned that the secret to sanity was to spend more time outside where tantrums don't see quite so bad. Amelia started TMM in 2012 to help encourage all families (including her own) to get outside, no matter the weather. Due to the necessity of having to keep so many kids warm and happy, she has become an expert in kids' gear and loves being able to share it with others.
