Lagoped provides repairs for outdoor clothing

Do you have a hole in your EVE waterproof jacket? Are your Ptarmigan hiking pants torn? Has the seam on your PHANTOM technical fleece come unstitched? Don't panic! This is not the end of life for your Lagoped outdoor clothing .

At Lagoped, we firmly believe that our mountain clothing has a second life (or even a third or fourth). If you have a small problem with your Lagoped clothing, we invite you to contact us to repair your clothing rather than throwing it away. We explain why it is important and how to repair your adventure clothing with Lagoped.

In 2024, the answer to this question may seem obvious to many people, and we are happy about that. For the rest of you, here is a little catch-up session.

Why would a clothing brand encourage its customers to repair a garment rather than throw it away and buy another one? Because Lagoped is much more than just an outdoor clothing brand. Lagoped was created to share common values ​​and passions - a love of the mountains and Nature - and is based on strong commitments: Lagoped clothing is designed and manufactured in Europe, from recycled materials . In our conception of clothing and the practice of outdoor sports, we do not plan to put on the market waterproof jackets, ski pants or hiking pants that will be thrown away and replaced after a season. Our outdoor clothing is made to last , and for many good reasons.

🧷 Choosing to repair means reducing the impact of our wardrobe and the demand for new natural resources (water, raw materials, etc.) needed to produce new outdoor clothing.

🧷 Choosing to repair means valuing artisanal know-how or even maintaining your sewing skills for the more resourceful.

🧷 Choosing to repair means maintaining and strengthening the emotional bond with our clothes and prolonging the memories created with outdoor clothing that accompanies us on the most beautiful adventures. It also means giving a second life to the outdoor clothing that fits you like a glove.

🧷 Choosing to repair is a conscious act, a fight against the culture of throwaways and the ephemeral.

🧷 Finally, choosing to repair is also a financial advantage , as repairing a technical product represents a lower cost than purchasing a new product.

In short, if after reading these lines we have not yet convinced you, do not hesitate to tell us by message , we are curious to know your arguments!

At Lagoped, we believe that every action counts for responsible sports practice from our mountains to the oceans, and that it is the best way to be one with Nature.

If any of your technical outdoor clothing is damaged, we have good news: they are all repairable.

There are several solutions available to you. Local seamstresses and tailors can help you with repairs that do not require technical fabrics. For technical clothing, we have two partners who can take care of your outdoor clothing with our fabrics (and therefore, the same colors).

Because we are proud of the clothes we have designed, created and manufactured, all of our items are guaranteed for 5 years , from their date of purchase and within the framework of use in accordance with their intended purpose.

Implementing the warranty then allows you not to pay the repair costs .

On the other hand, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this guarantee does not cover wear and tear due to improper use of the item, such as a tear caused by a fall, a cut by a sharp object (pole), cutting object (ski edge) or edge (ice axe).

If your Lagoped garment no longer meets the warranty conditions (second life, more than 5 years, improper use, etc.), Lagoped will support you and offer you an economical repair. The difference? The repair costs and transport costs will simply be your responsibility.
