Alterations and Repairs to your Kit
The kit you are issued with is functional and can serve you adequately out in the field, however we can improve your kit with just a few amendments, adaptations and repairs. Here at Dixies Corner we have a very busy workshop with experienced machinists who can tailor your kit to enable you to carry more kit, and most importantly make it more comfortable. When you’re comfortable you can concentrate on the job in hand!
A lot of thought, research and development over the years has resulted in our kit alterations being the most comfortable and effective they can be.
Below is a list of the most common alterations we are requested to do. For up to date prices see our online shop.
