TAKE ON ANY ADVENTURE
We know adventure and the gear that is essential for it. Camping. Paddling. Diving. Skiing. Hunting. Fishing. For more than 35 years we’ve been seeking to solve your problems.
/ WE BELIEVE
From the cities to the forests and to the oceans, you will find us. Shedding water off the jacket of the avid hunter. Patching the holes in the sleeping bag of the thru-hiker. Cleaning the salt from the wetsuit of the ocean surfer.
DSGN FRM WTHN Our focus to “design from within” is part of our mission to fix gear and bring solutions to the outdoors. We sat down to chat with GEAR AID® design director, Ray Klein, for a behind the scenes look at our product development process and why we value original ideas. With more than 20 years of experience in the outdoor industry, he shares the importance of designing from within and how our new line of Adventure Tools came to life at GEAR AID.
HOW DID YOU FIRST BECOME INTERESTED IN PRODUCT ENGINEERING AND DESIGN?
/ STORIES
This is Ray.
Back when I was as a kid, I was really interested in taking things apart. I liked sketching and got into art at a young age. Then I slowly got more interested in design as I learned what it was.
DESCRIBE YOUR APPROACH FOR DESIGNING A PRODUCT. HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT DESIGN WAS WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO FOR A LIVING? I went through a graphic program first, but that didn’t quite do it for me. After finding industrial design at a university close to home, I was hooked right away. The fact that I could combine art and engineering, it was the perfect balance of the two. And it gave me the opportunity to work in the third dimension and not so much in 2D as a graphic designer. That’s how I discovered industrial design and once I was hooked, I knew I’d do it for my entire career.
All design projects start with establishing what problem you are trying to solve then spending time on research and analysis. Once you have a point of view, brainstorm as many solutions as possible. A few ideas usually stand out and move into the development process. At this point, pen and paper comes out and concept sketches, mock-ups and prototyping begin. This process is iterative, so things start, stop and switch direction a lot before getting into engineering and manufacturing. Then, ultimately that idea is transformed into a new product.
WHAT ARE THE QUALITIES THAT A PRODUCT DESIGNER SHOULD HAVE? Curiosity is number one. You should be a curious person and be interested in exploring and sketching. You have to learn how to use your hands. You’re basically taking somebody’s words and ideas and you’re starting to build them into visional representations of those ideas. Then you start to actually build them into objects, so two-dimensional and three-dimensional problem solving is super important. You end up using CAD systems and learning how to do CAD models and build prototypes. Also, having a natural interest in manufacturing and new technologies, because industrial designers drive the product development process in the early stages.
HOW DO YOU DESIGN A SUCCESSFUL PRODUCT? It’s a process. Design is iterative. Going back to the research, the testing, the prototypes and continuing to sketch and to try and solve the problem. It’s rarely ever done the first time. There’s a lot of going back and starting over again, so lots of prototyping. I do a lot of 3D printing if the product is small enough to fit on a 3D printer. Larger things take different types of prototyping processes, but I’ve always liked to work with my hands and do lots of prototypes.
“DESIGNING PRODUCTS INTERNALLY DEMONSRATES A INTENTIONAL AND PERSONAL APPROACH — THEREFORE PROVIDING AUTHENTICITY TO THE CONSUMER”
WHAT IS YOUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY? My designs all have aesthetic elements to them, but the most important thing is that the product functions right. That has always been my philosophy: not to overdo the styling or the aesthetics; make it compliment the function.
HOW DO YOU STAY INNOVATIVE AND GROW AS A PRODUCT DESIGNER? I continue to look at new products that I think are cool. I’m constantly looking at things that are beautiful, things that function, that solve a problem. I look to other designers for inspiration by going out and seeing what they are doing. I try keeping up with the latest manufacturing and prototyping techniques. Basically, making sure you’re aware of things that are evolving and how designs are changing. It’s a great way to keep an open mind.

HOW DOES DESIGNING WITHIN GEAR AID RESULT IN QUALITY PRODUCTS?
/ STORIES
Designing in house is great, because we know our brand best at GEAR AID. We live, sleep and eat it here. We have inhouse brand standards we’ve come up with. That is something we can continually reflect back on. If you were to go out and look for a product that’s been designed for another brand or something that’s been designed generically, when you bring it to your product line, it can look a little bit out of place. So, by controlling the design of the product internally you ensure that it has all the attributes of your brand.
WHAT ARE THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE GEAR AID BRAND? For GEAR AID, it’s multipurpose, it’s beautiful, and it’s durable.
WHAT MAKES GEAR AID UNIQUE FROM OTHER BRANDS? We’ve got such a diversity of products. When I came here, I didn’t know anything about adhesives or about tapes or about waterproofing. So, what’s different about GEAR AID is we’re constantly learning. I’ve had to learn about a lot of new technologies and new products since I’ve been here. Also, I’ve had the opportunity to work on some new products that fit into the Adventure Tools category and build that out.
DESCRIBE HOW THE NEW CAMP CARABINER LINE DEVELOPED AT GEAR AID. The Camp Carabiner was originally designed to hang our LED lighting products. Then after we figured out how to hang it, we were inspired to expand the scope of the project. So, we decided to try and hang other things and basically took the concept and expanded it.
WHY IS THE CAMP CARABINER AND THE NEW ADVENTURE TOOLS A SUITABLE ADDITION TO THE GEAR AID PRODUCT LINE? It doesn’t just serve our lighting products. With the Camp Carabiner, we can hang a backpack, speaker, or hang other products on a camp line. It was a unique project in that it actually got bigger and better as we went along. We even added the tensioner and a paracord, and so we created a whole new category for Adventure Tools. It took a couple of years to complete this project. We wanted to make a family of products. We solved problems that existed inside the camp situation and brought four new products to market instead of just a single product.
“THE ATTRIBUTES FOR GOOD DESIGN ARE: MULTIPURPOSE, BEAUTY, & DURABILITY”
HOW DO YOU SEE DESIGN GROWING WITHIN GEAR AID AND THE WORLD IN GENERAL?
/ STORIES
My hope is that product design becomes a very important part of the GEAR AID brand. Design is something that can drive us forward into the future, by looking at new technologies, keeping in tune with the new products that are coming out, and staying competitive. I see design becoming more important for every brand, not just GEAR AID. There’re a lot of things that need to be designed and design thinking can improve not only products at GEAR AID, but they can help solve bigger problems.
HOW DOES SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MOTIVATE YOU IN TERMS OF YOUR WORK AS A PRODUCT DESIGNER? “Sustainability” is the new buzz word right now and we’re in the process of defining what it means for GEAR AID. Definitely in the long term it’s us continuing to look at our supply chain and trying to make it cleaner and better. To make sure workers are treated fairly and that the materials that go into our products are safe. For us at GEAR AID, it’s a work in progress.
OUTSIDE OF WORK, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ACTIVITY? Probably kayaking and canoeing. I like being on the water. There is something peaceful about it. I also like the challenge of getting from point A to point B. Not only is it relaxing, but also interesting to figure out how to do it efficiently, so that’s kind of the intriguing side of it.
Ray’s love for design and the outdoors echoes the sentiments of the GEAR AID team. By designing from within, we seek out challenges and solve problems. We do this by developing innovative tools that keep the adventure going from the backyard to the mountaintop. Check out the latest GEAR AID Adventure Tools and stay tuned for more cool things we’re launching in the coming months.

Your gear is more than just the stuff you need on a weekend camping trip or a trek up the mountains—it’s the tent that can withstand the downpour you weren’t predicting, the down jacket that keeps you warm as you head into work when the temperatures dip, and the wetsuit that protects you when you’re diving into new depths of the ocean. As you hike up, climb down, or bike over on your adventures, your gear is bound to get beat up along the way, sending you back to the outdoor store to replace it.
REPAIR. / WE STORIES BELIEVE
WHEN IT BREAKS, WE FIX IT. Part of loving the outdoors is loving its unpredictability— the wildlife that you see on the trails or the huge waves you get when you’re out on dawn patrol—but that can lead to your gear getting torn up when you least expect it. The fear of making a problem worse or not knowing how to approach a gear repair can make you hesitant to take one on.
At GEAR AID, we believe in preserving the longevity of your outdoor gear, outerwear and footwear with our philosophy of Repair, Renew, Reuse. Instead of purchasing new gear every time it rips or tears, repair it by using one of our innovative products to make it last longer. When your gear starts to look faded or cracked, renew it by learning how to care for and improve its performance. And when you’re finally ready to upgrade, reuse it by selling, donating, or recycling so that you can reduce waste and help care for this earth we all love to explore. Each scratch or gash on your gear tells a tale of where you’ve been and what happened along the way— so why not keep the story going for as long as possible?
Thanks to our step-by-step instructions on patching, sealing, and sewing—plus our innovative and long-lasting adhesives, patches, and zippers—you can not only fix up your gear, but you can also empower yourself by learning to fix it yourself. Most importantly, you’ll extend its life, save money, and keep it out of the landfill, all while letting each patch or repaired seam tell a personalized story of your experiences outside. Imagine not having to give up your beloved waders that were with you on your trip to Big Horn River or that trusty duffle that you’ve taken with you all over the world (or maybe just to the gym and back). With GEAR AID, you don’t have to let go of those memories just yet. Learning how to DIY your own gear repairs instead of sending it off to the manufacturer will also save you time—and won’t keep you waiting to head out on your next experience. Want to learn more? Check out our DIY repair blogs or ask our repair experts for advice on the best approaches to gear repair and which products will work best for your equipment. You can also get in-person advice at a local repair shop near you.
RENEW. PERFORMANCE AT ITS BEST. We all have that prized pair of boots that’s helped us climb one more peak or that comfortable tent that’s kept us warm in the middle of a wind storm, but over the months or years of use they may have noticeably become less breathable, less repellent, or less warm. Renewing your gear with protectants, cleaners, and conditioners can increase performance and give the durability that will carry you through your next set of adventures. We know that having the latest equipment doesn’t compare with the feeling you get when you slip on your wetsuit that fits just right or tie up your hiking boots that you’ve broken in after miles and miles on the trails.

We want to help you learn to read the signs that your gear needs some TLC—whether that’s visible dirt, fading, wet-out, cracking material, or flattening of the product. We also want you to know how to care for your equipment properly so that it can last as long as you need it. After usage, it’s always best to clean or condition your gear and apply necessary protectants before you use it again—all in the name of extending its life and keeping its performance the same as it was on day one.

OVER 2 MILLION pieces of outerwear, footwear and outdoor gear were repaired with GEAR AID products.
GIVE IT NEW PURPOSE. You’ve been through a lot with your gear, but there comes a point where you may be interested in upgrading or you’ve simply gotten everything you can out of it. Before you toss it out in the trash bin, take a minute to think about how you can give your old outdoor products a new life—whether that’s selling, donating, recycling, or upcycling it.

QUICK STATS
Your gear is a major investment, and caring for it throughout its life can give you the potential to earn some cash when you’re done using it. If you think your gear still has some decent life left and could be valuable to a fellow outdoor enthusiast, resell it and use the money to put toward a new tent, wetsuit, or that pair of hiking boots you’ve had your eye on. Unsure of where to start? Try reselling through Patagonia Worn Wear, TNF Renewed, REI Used Gear, Gear Trader, or even sites like Offer Up.
On average, heavy-duty hiking boots can last 30% longer when properly cared for.
Another way to give new life to your gear is to donate it to an organization that could benefit from its use—from organizations like Gear Forward, which inspires kids to get outside, to nonprofits like Soles4Souls, which assists developing nations with shoe donations. You could also consider recycling or upcycling your gear so that it gets new purpose. Whether you choose to upcycle your old tent into your child’s new adventure space in the backyard, turn your old pair of boots into a new planter, or opt to donate your gear to companies who use old equipment to sustainably create new products like Green Guru, Suga Mat, or Lava Rubber, repurposing your gear helps reduce the amount of energy it takes to produce new products, and also helps preserve our wildlife and natural places.
Because how else can we celebrate this earth that we all love so much unless we reduce our impact and leave it better than we found so that the next generations of adventurers can enjoy it for centuries to come?
