Abstract

How can we rethink apparel and bag design to increase repair process efficiencies, and extend the life of modern elite boulders gear? Designing for repair and durability are at the forefront of this project but there are other things to consider as well like how can designing for repair increase consumer joy and benefit the brand? The outcome of this project is a collection of bouldering apparel and equipment that increases repair process efficiencies without compromising performance, reduces repair costs for the brand and consumer, and provides a timeless garment that tells a story.
