Repairing Rain Gear
 

Thought I'd pass this along:

My rain gear is HD and made of some nylon-like material. They're the gray and black set. The material is medium in weight and feel. They're not goretex, but they work very well.

I managed to burn a few holes in my rain gear over boots. So... I figured a place like REI should have something to repair all the high-tech fabric stuff they sell - and I was right.

The sell a tape that is basically a sticky patch. Once on - it's supposed to stay on forever. They had it for goretex and also for rip-stop / nylon / synthetic stuff. A roll of the latter cost $3.00. Worked like a charm and even comes in different colors.

Good to know!!!






Ummmm............. what's an REI? :blink:

They ae a group of folks who repackage ironing board patches and are getting rich.

It's a patch that sticks, rather than iron-on?

So that might work to stick on the inside leg of my FroggToggs to work as a heat shield?

Link?
