Fixing your worn outdoor gear and clothing is smart and green My family loves the outdoors. We're hikers, runners, skiers and generally try to spend as much time out in nature as we can. Monday through Friday we are city folk, so we have a lot of pent up energy to expend on weekends. The Momtrends family can be a little rough on our outdoor gear.

It’s almost impossible to witness fashion these days without being confronted by the state of the world.
