 Poster: A snowHead
|
Has anyone attempted to repair gloves ? I have a pair of Noronna Narvik gloves that I have had for many years (and love) and the goggle wipe material on the thumbs has started to disintegrate, which is allowing water to get in. I was thinking that if I could source the goggle wipe material and take it to one of the high street repair places they might be able to fix them.
Is it worth the effort or is it best to get new gloves and keep them just as winter gloves

How old are they? Norrona has a 5 year warranty on products which can be increased to 7 years. Also, they have their own repairs service and sell spare/replacement parts so I would start with them. Might not be covered with warranty but they should be able to repair them if you can't

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Well, that’s handy to know. I’ve been patching goretex trousers together with spinnaker tape…

Yep, I've had 4.5 year old Norrona ski trousers repaired for free under warranty, and found it a pretty quick/easy process. Don't think they did it in-house though; it was a central goretex repair centre.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Its somewhere in Scotland (for UK customers) as they contract it out. I had a split in my 2 ish year old jacket near the hem adjuster which they couldn't repair so I got a voucher for the full RRP of my jacket to spend on their site back in 2020.

You'll need to Register first of course.

I have used Scottish Mountain gear in Musselburgh for a number of repairs. I have always been happy with the quality of repairs and its saved n
me from having to replace expensive jackets and salopettes

I’ll check with Noronna customer service on the warranty again as they have already said it’s just wear and tear and they can’t help.
Also would help if I could remember how old they are

Definitely start with Norrona. I ripped my lofoten jacket near the elbow and they fixed it for €45 including postage. The repair is really good, stitched and tapped and completely waterproof. I think it only took around 3 weeks from sending it off to getting it back.
