Product Care and Repair

Looking after your kit ensures it performs well and lasts for years. Good gear rarely fails all at once; it degrades slowly through cracked leather, weak seams, and stiff zips. Catching snags early means your favourite boots or axes can withstand many more expeditions.

Rather than one big range, think of this collection as a practical toolkit for your kit. A touch of leather balm prolongs the life of boots and sheaths by stopping leather from drying out. 

Compact repair gear like the Exotac ripSPOOL quickly fixes snapped straps and torn fabric, while lens cleaner keeps binoculars and compasses free from grit and fog.

Self-reliance in the wild isn’t only about what you carry, it’s about knowing how to keep it working. Treat your equipment well between trips, and it will return the favour when you need it most.

More Details

From leather treatments to specialist cleaners, every item in our product care range has been chosen to make looking after your tools easier and more effective.

Utilising good quality product care preserves the reliability of your equipment long after you have completed your trips. With regular cleaning, clothing stays weather ready and leather stays supple and resistant.

Many of our products focus on leather maintenance, great for looking after items such as boots and axe sheaths. Options such as Norsol Leather Balm or Hestra Leather Balm nourish and condition leather after prolonged exposure to mud and rain. These treatments are essential for water resistance and avoiding cracking when materials dry out, a key factor that can stop leather performing at its best.

Repairing gear when you are out and about is also vital. The Exotac ripSPOOL is a compact repair tool that contains thread and cords as well as other components for quick fixes on the go. It’s small enough to pop in a pouch yet can handle multiple repair tasks when you’re far from larger repair tools.

We also stock care products for binoculars and compasses with our optical lens cleaner. Many products gather moisture and are prone to smudges and dirt when handled in extreme weather conditions.

Across the collection, every product targets the same goal, keeping it simple to repair your equipment outdoors. Whether you’re restoring leather after a wet adventure or need to clean optical gear for better views, you’ll find proper product care at Woodlore, all trusted by experts like Ray Mears.
