When you adventure hard, things happen. A tear, a failing zipper, or a shell that’s stopped beading water doesn’t mean your gear is done.Â
Join us for a hands-on ReBIRDâ„¢ Gear Care Workshop and learn how to care for and repair your outdoor gear to help keep it in action for the adventures ahead.
Space for this hands-on workshop is limited, so claim your spot.Â
This small-group workshop gives you the opportunity to get hands-on with your gear and learn directly from a qualified ReBIRDâ„¢ Gear Technician.Â
You’ll learn how to evaluate your gear and identify the right care or repair approach, with hands-on guidance covering common quick fixes like zipper slider repairs, minor patching and abrasion remediation, washing and DWR maintenance.Â
You’ll leave with practical knowledge to care for your gear, tackle common wear and tear, and help extend its useful life.
Building on three decades of disruptive evolution, System 0â„¢ is our circularity program. System 0â„¢ reimagines how gear is designed, the materials we use, how we keep our products in play through ReBIRDâ„¢, and what happens to them at the end of their usable lives; all while maintaining our standards for durability and performance.
No single product or service is fully circular on its own. It is the ecosystem of products and services that can bring circularity to life.
Makayla Wray is an artist and seamstress who runs MAW Studio, a New York–based atelier specializing in sustainable practices, repurposed materials, leatherwork, unique and complex construction, world-building, and small-scale production. Her practice is rooted in problem-solving through alternative options and resourceful methods, with an emphasis on accessibility, consideration, and collaboration across young emerging talent, established brands, and local communities.
PedalMAW, Wray’s portable tailoring cart, extends this philosophy into mending and repair, creating accessible ways to prolong the life of garments and keep materials in circulation. Across her studio practice, Wray approaches making as an ongoing process of care—finding inventive solutions, maximizing existing resources, and challenging conventional approaches to production.
MAW Studio positions resourcefulness, craftsmanship, sustainability, and accessibility at the center of both process and product, creating a space where experimentation and practical problem-solving can coexist with a heightened attention to quality, utility, and design.
