Is the jacket ruined if the zipper gets stuck?

The zipper is gone and with it the whole jacket? Certainly not at Vaude, where the reparability of clothing is anchored in product development right from the start.

Vaude, the outdoor and bike clothing company, attaches great importance to ensuring that its products have the smallest possible ecological footprint and that they can be used and repaired for a long time. Vaude is now going one step further and systematically anchoring reparability in product development. To ensure that products are designed to be as easy to repair as possible right from the initial idea, a so-called repair index is now being introduced. "With our repair index, we are placing an even greater focus on reparability and reaffirming our stance against the throwaway mentality. We are showing that we take our claim seriously: Our products should last a long time and be repairable," says Antje von Dewitz, Managing Director.
