Yes. HEDi produces tournament and event patches, including the 2026 World Junior Championships Minnesota collector's patch and the Minnesota State High School Tournament patch, alongside its officially licensed NHL® team range.

NHL team patches in the Licensed NHL Hook-and-Loop Patches collection are officially licensed NHL products. Where a patch is officially licensed, its product page says so.

Yes. Once the hook-and-loop piece is attached, the patch behaves like any HEDi hook-and-loop patch: it presses onto a loop panel and lifts off again by hand, so it can be moved between bags.

Every HEDi-PACK already comes with Loop Panels on the front and sides, and any standard hook-and-loop patch will attach to them.

Yes. A HEDi-PACK makes a meaningful gift for a graduation, a milestone, a team or anyone building their story. Add patches that match the moment. We do not offer gift wrapping or gift receipts. We do offer gift cards.

Contact us as soon as possible after ordering. We move quickly to get orders out, so we cannot promise a change once an order is being prepared, but we will always try. For custom and personalized items, changes may not be possible once production starts.

Yes. We make custom patches and name tapes for a last name, a jersey number, a date or a design that means something to you. See the Name Tape product pages for current options. Because a custom item is made just for you, it is final sale.

In many cases, yes. Email customerservice@hedigear.com with your order number and what you would like instead, and we will help you sort it out.

No. Personalized and custom items, including custom patches and name tapes, cannot be returned. They are made just for you, so all sales are final. If something arrives wrong or damaged, contact us at customerservice@hedigear.com and we will make it right.

Ready made patches in unused condition can be returned within our return window. Custom patches and name tapes are final sale, since they are made just for you.

Yes. Any standard hook-and-loop patch attaches to a HEDi-PACK Loop Panel. Sew-on and iron-on patches do not attach to a Loop Panel unless a hook-and-loop piece is added to the back.

Yes. HEDi school patches use hook-and-loop backing, so they press on and lift off by hand and can be moved between any HEDi-PACK backpacks and bags.

Yes. We create custom patches so your team, company, or event can wear its own logo or design on the Loop Panels. It is gear your people will actually want to carry.

Yes. HEDi sports patches use hook-and-loop backing, so a patch presses on and lifts off by hand. A pack can carry a different team or a new tournament each season without any permanent change.

Patches are sold separately. Your HEDi-PACK arrives with Loop Panels ready to hold them, so you can start with the moments that matter most and add more over time.

Yes. We build custom HEDi-PACKs for teams, companies, events and organizations, and can add your logo or a custom patch made for your group. For orders over 100 units you get direct access to Bret Hedican throughout the process. Email sales@hedigear.com.

We are an online shop at hedigear.com. That keeps us close to the people building their packs, wherever they are.

We stand behind the quality of every HEDi-PACK and patch we produce. If your order arrives with a manufacturing defect, contact us with a photo and we will make it right.

Take your patches off before you clean your pack. Brush the backing now and then to keep it free of lint. If a patch needs a wash, hand wash it gently and let it air dry flat before you put it back on. Skip the washing machine for the patches themselves, since the machine packs the backing with lint and can wear it down. Stored flat, your patches will keep their color and shape for years.

Remove your patches first. Spot clean the pack with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then let it air dry. Avoid bleach, high heat, and the dryer, which can wear down the fabric and the Loop Panels.

Email customerservice@hedigear.com and we will get back to you. We read every message and try to reply quickly.

Email customerservice@hedigear.com with your order number and we will walk you through it. We keep it simple.

HEDi national park patches have hook-and-loop backing and press onto the loop panel of any HEDi-PACK by hand. They lift off and reposition without heat, glue or stitching, so the arrangement is never final.

Every HEDi-PACK has built-in Loop Panels. These are soft fabric areas made for hook-and-loop patches. Each patch has a gripping backing. Press it onto a Loop Panel and it holds. Peel it off to swap in another. It is your pack, your patches, your call.

HEDi travel patches have hook-and-loop backing that presses directly onto the loop panels of any HEDi-PACK. No sewing, iron or glue is needed, and patches can be repositioned at any time.

Use a HEDi adhesive hook-and-loop piece. Trace the patch on the white paper backing, cut 2 millimeters inside the traced line so the hook stays hidden, peel and apply to the back of the patch. It then presses onto any HEDi-PACK Loop Panel and lifts off by hand. Pieces are sold as a single 5 x 5 inch square and in multi-piece packs. See the hook-and-loop product pages for current options and prices. A patch with an added piece can still be moved between bags.

Tell us about your group, your timeline, and what you have in mind. We help you choose a pack, design custom patches or name tapes, and confirm the details before we produce. Then we handle the rest.

Each hook-and-loop patch has a gripping hook backing. Press it onto a Loop Panel and it holds. Peel it off when you want to change things. No sewing, no glue, no heat. Some older patch styles ship without a hook backing. Add a HEDi adhesive hook-and-loop piece to the back and they work like any other patch.

Orders usually arrive within 3 to 7 business days anywhere in the lower 48 states. Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada can take longer. We do not ship on weekends, so an order placed on Friday goes out no earlier than the following Tuesday.

The Loop Panels are built to keep their grip through 500 or more attach and detach cycles, so you can rearrange your patches for years. Keeping the panels and patch backings free of lint keeps the grip strong.

HEDi's national park collection covers 70 US national parks and monuments, including Acadia, Arches, Badlands, Pipestone National Monument, Yellowstone and Zion.

That is up to you. The Loop Panels on the front and sides give you room to start with one patch and keep adding. Some people keep it simple with a few. Others fill every panel over the years.

Loop Panels are built so you can rearrange patches as your collection grows. Start with one patch and move it as often as you like.

The travel collection holds 184 patches covering cities, countries and destinations worldwide, alongside a collection of 100 destination patches and a collection of 125 world patches. They press onto any HEDi-PACK Loop Panel.

Qualifying US orders ship free. Free shipping does not apply to international orders. For all other orders, shipping is calculated at checkout from your address and the weight of your order.

The HEDi Fanny Pack shell is water-repellent, which sheds light rain and spills. It is not waterproof and should not be submerged. We do not publish a water resistance rating for the other HEDi-PACK bags, so do not count on them being waterproof.

Voyager is the travel-specific backpack. It has a trolley sleeve that slides over a rolling suitcase handle, a laptop sleeve and an iPad sleeve. Trail Blazer also has a trolley sleeve. Traveler is the 8-liter sling for camera gear. Voyager measures 19.69 x 12.99 x 6.10 inches, which falls inside the personal item and carry-on allowances of most major US airlines, but every airline sets its own limits, so check yours before you fly. Explorer is the largest backpack and suits carry-on travel.

Almost always, this is lint. Over time the backing on a patch and the loop fabric on your pack pick up fuzz, hair, and dust, and that weakens the grip. Here is the fix:

1. Take the patch off.

2. Use a fine tooth comb or a stiff brush to gently clear the backing of the patch.

3. Do the same across the Loop Panel.

4. If either side got damp, let it dry fully.

5. Press the patch back on. The grip should return.

First, check with anyone at your address and look around porches, mailboxes, and side doors, since carriers sometimes mark a package delivered a little early. If it still has not turned up after a day, contact us and we will help you track it down.

They bring a patch that has no hook-and-loop backing into the HEDi-PACK system, so it can be attached, moved and swapped like any other HEDi patch. They are sold individually and in 5-packs.

We are not defined by things. We are defined by the moments that shaped us. A goal scored. A friendship made. A place that changed us. Moments Make Us is our way of saying your backpack can carry more than your gear. It can carry your story. It also guides how we try to operate, through a simple idea we call MOB, which stands for Make Others Better.

We will make it right. Email a photo of the issue to customerservice@hedigear.com within 7 days of delivery. We will review it quickly and send a replacement at no cost to you. You do not need to ship the damaged item back before we help.

A HEDi-PACK is a customizable bag built to carry more than your gear. It carries your story. Every HEDi-PACK has hook-and-loop Loop Panels, soft fabric areas that hold hook-and-loop patches. You add patches for the moments that shaped you and rearrange them as your story grows. The range runs from the 8-liter Traveler sling to the 34-liter Explorer backpack.

Shell fabrics differ by model. Base Camp, Traveler and Troubadour use 600D polyester. Summit, Explorer and Voyager use 1000D nylon. Trail Blazer uses 1680D polyester, the heaviest shell we make. The HEDi Fanny Pack uses 70D nylon twill. HEDi-PACKs have HEDi-branded zippers.

Any HEDi-PACK takes the same patches. For collecting, the 34-litre Explorer offers the most front panel space, while the Voyager and Trail Blazer are the travel-specific packs, each with a trolley sleeve that slides over a suitcase handle.

Giving back is built into HEDiGEAR through our Make Others Better program. You can read how it works at hedigear.com/pages/giving-back.

Yes. Once your order ships, we email you a tracking number so you can follow it to your door.

No, not with normal daily carry. The grip is strong enough to hold through commutes, travel, and everyday use. If a patch ever starts to loosen, it usually means the backing or the panel has collected lint. A quick cleaning brings the grip right back. See the grip answer below.
