Outdoor adventure junkies from around the Inland Northwest have a new option for extending the life of their beloved outdoor gear. Nimbus Threadworks, a new-to-the-scene repair shop, is ready to breathe fresh life into well-worn gear that might otherwise end up in a landfill. Items the shop is currently able to mend include outerwear, down jackets, backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, protective gear and more, with a focus on a range of issues, from tears, buckle and zipper problems to more extensive gear restoration. Nimbus may also be able to help with custom design and renovation projects for your RV, boat, off-road vehicle or overlanding rig.

The repair process is straightforward, with the shop providing an initial assessment of the damaged item after you have completed the online form on its website, followed by a repair quote. Once your project is confirmed, you can drop off your clean gear for repair at The Evergreen Gear Exchange (1003 E Trent Ave., Suite 105 in Spokane). After an item has been fixed and paid for, you’ll be notified to pick it back up at The Evergreen Gear Exchange. Nimbus can also come pick up and deliver your gear for some local projects. Visit the shop’s website at Nimbustw.com for details, including specific items they do and do not work on.
