Sustainability meets functionality

The GLEISTEIN splicer bag is a perfect example of sustainable upcycling. Used sailcloth that has served its purpose on yachts and sailboats is given a second life as a practical storage bag.

Each bag is unique

Individual colors: The colors vary depending on the sailcloth used – from classic white to beige to colored sails. Each bag has its own story.

Authentic patina: Signs of wear, discoloration and the typical patina of used sailcloth make each bag unique.

Maritime authenticity: You receive a piece of genuine sailing history - not a sterile new product, but a tool with character.

GLEISTEIN rope handle

Genuine GLEISTEIN rope: The handle is made of high-quality GLEISTEIN rope - robust, grippy and authentic.

Practical: The handle allows for comfortable carrying and hanging of the bag.

Maritime character: The rope handle perfectly underlines the nautical character of the bag.

What fits in the splicer's pocket?

With a length of 42 cm, the bag offers enough space for a complete splicing kit:

• Splicing needles and splicing fids up to approx. 40 cm in length
• Soft fids and splice pushers
• Marl spikes and shackle openers
• Rope cutters and knives
• Rigging twine spools
• Splicing tape and accessories

Robust sailcloth

Proven at sea: Sailcloth is designed for extreme conditions - wind, weather, UV radiation and saltwater cannot harm it.

Durable: Even after years of intensive use as a sail, the material is still robust enough for a second life as a bag.

Breathable: Unlike synthetic materials, canvas is breathable - tools can dry.

⚠️ Important

The bag is delivered empty – it is purely a storage bag. Colors vary – each bag is unique, made from reclaimed sailcloth with its own individual patina and coloring. This is not a defect, but a quality characteristic of sustainable upcycling. Signs of wear such as discoloration, seams from previous reinforcements, or light stains are normal and part of the sailcloth's history. Sharp tools should be stored with blade guards to protect the material. Although sailcloth is very robust, avoid excessive stress on the seams.
