About Gear Aid: Repair, Restore and Protect Your Outdoor & Paddling Kit
Gear Aid has been the go-to brand for serious outdoor repair since its origins as McNett, and the Canoe Centre stocks their full range for paddlers, campers, hikers, and watersports enthusiasts.
Wetsuit and Neoprene Repair
Aquaseal FD is the industry standard for wetsuit repair: a flexible, waterproof urethane adhesive that bonds neoprene, rubber, and most waterproof fabrics permanently. Whether you've caught a fin, snagged a rock, or worn through the knees of your suit, Aquaseal will restore a watertight seal that lasts. For faster jobs, Aquaseal SR bonds in 15 minutes without UV exposure. Pair either with Gear Aid neoprene patch material from our Patches and Tape collection for a complete repair.
Tent, Jacket and Fabric Repair
Tenacious Tape is the fastest fix in the field: a heavy-duty, pressure-sensitive repair tape that bonds instantly to nylon, polyester, and most outdoor fabrics without glue or heat. It's ideal for tent fly tears, rucksack blowouts, dry bag punctures, and jacket repairs. It won't peel in the rain and survives repeated washing. The full Tenacious Tape range, including fabric patches and Gore-Tex-compatible options, is in our Patches and Tape collection.
Waterproofing and DWR Restoration
Revivex treatments restore the durable water repellency (DWR) coating on technical outerwear, wetsuits, and paddling kit that has started to wet out. A jacket that absorbs water instead of beading it off loses its breathability and warmth dramatically. Revivex Spray-On and Wash-In restore factory-level performance without damaging membranes like Gore-Tex or eVent. Browse the full range in our Clean and Condition collection.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Gear Aid's Revivex and Wetsuit and Drysuit Shampoo products extend the working life of technical fabrics by removing salt, chlorine, body oils, and UV residue that degrade neoprene and waterproof laminates over time. Explore the full cleaning range in our Clean and Condition section.
Adhesives and Sealants
From seam sealers to boot cement and Black Witch neoprene glue, the full Adhesives and Sealants collection covers every bonding need across paddling, camping, and outdoor kit maintenance.
