Patches

Why choose patches?

Why would you use patches on your bag, weight vest, or training gear when there are other ways to stand out? Simple: patches are stylish, practical, and super flexible. They show who you are, what you stand for, or just add some extra flair to your gear. This is due to, among other things:

• Quick to change: thanks to velcro. Today a cool slogan, tomorrow your favorite flag – you decide.
• Different styles: rubber patches made of PVC with a sleek, modern look or embroidered patches with a classic appearance.
• Durable and wear-resistant: PVC is water-repellent and sturdy, while embroidered patches look softer but still last a long time.
• Gives your equipment character: A vest or bag with patches immediately looks more unique, personal, and eye-catching.
• Combines with everything: Weight vests, sports bags, backpacks or tactical gear – if it has velcro, it fits.
  

Want to give your training or equipment just that little extra look? Then patches are the finishing touch.

Buying patches: what to look for?

If you take your patch game seriously, there are a few things to consider:

1. Material & style: PVC (rubber) patches have a sleek and tough look. They resist water, dirt, and wear. Embroidered patches have a softer, traditional appearance – perfect if you prefer something more subtle.

2. Size and shape: Make sure your patches fit on the velcro areas of your vest or bag. Pay attention to the dimensions – too big or too small quickly looks messy.

3. Attachment: All patches come with a sturdy velcro backing. No hassle with sewing or ironing – just click on and you're done.

4. Theme & appearance: Choose a patch that suits you. Think of flags, motivations, icons, or symbols that say something about you or your training style.

5. Combine and switch: True patch lovers switch regularly. So have a few favorites in your collection so you can keep varying.

How to get the most out of your patch collection?

Patches are more than decoration – you make a statement with them. And with these tips, you complete the look:

1. Keep it clean. Don't stick everything on your vest at once. Choose 1 to 3 patches at a time for a neat, powerful look.

2. Adapt to your training or mood. Motivational quote for leg day? Check. Army-style patch for a HIIT session? Go for it. Make it a ritual.

3. Make it personal. Choose patches that really suit you: your background, your mindset, your humor. This way your gear becomes an extension of who you are.

4. Take good care of your patches. Take them off occasionally, dust them off, and store them flat. This way they stay nice longer.

5. Switch smartly. Change patches every week or month. This keeps your training fresh and your gear interesting.

Frequently Asked Questions about Patches

1. How do I attach a hook and loop patch to my bag or weight vest?

Most bags and weight vests have a loop side (soft side) of the hook and loop fastener where you can easily attach the hook side (hard side) of the patch. Press the patch firmly onto the hook and loop area to ensure it is securely attached.

2. Do hook and loop patches stay in place during intensive activities?

Yes, high-quality hook and loop patches are designed to adhere firmly, even during intense movements. Make sure both the patch and the hook and loop surface are clean and free of dirt for the best adhesion.

3. Can I wash hook and loop patches while they are on my bag or vest?

It is recommended to remove the patches before washing your bag or weight vest. This extends the lifespan of both the patch and the hook and loop fastener. Always consult the care label of your equipment for specific instructions.

4. How do I maintain my hook and loop patches for long-term use?

Keep both the hook and loop sides clean and free of dust and dirt. If necessary, you can gently remove dirt with a soft brush. Store the patches in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.

5. What is the difference between PVC and embroidered patches?

PVC patches are made of rubber-like material, water-resistant and super durable. Embroidered patches have a classic, textile look and feel somewhat softer. Both work with hook and loop fasteners, so it mainly comes down to style and preference.
