I regularly put holes in my gloves and shorts and have had them sewn back up
by the lady who works at the laundry across the street a dozen times. She's
probably doubled the lifespan of each piece of gear for a total of less than
$20. I also extended the life of a 10-year old Dakine pack with a $20 new
zipper from Leslie's Luggage Repair (across from MEC Broadway). I'm lusting
after enough new gear that I don't want to spend money replacing the old
stuff!
