Adhesive Goretex repair patches?

[sierra_cement]

Are these a thing? For repairing small rips and holes in shell jackets and pants, rather than replacing the whole thing. Any recommendations?

Yes. Made by a local here.

Good stuff.

This stuff works good too. It’s a tape so probably not as thick as the patch but works great on soft shell material and down jackets.

Tenacious tape is great. I’ve also used Kenyon K-Tape with success.

This. It’s hard to color match unless it’s black.

Thin flexible and permanent

Does the patch really need to be GoreTex?

As long as waterproof, I would be happy

But you won’t have peak performance.
Probably best not to leave the house until you get the gore-Tex ones.
(Kidding, the NoSo stuff is just a waterproof tape).

This stuff is excellent.

Look at the total square inchs of Gortex in a piece and calculate the ratio of breathable to a non breathable patch and realize its not worth worrying about how breathable your patch job is. I have patched/ fixed/ tested around 500 gortex dry suits at a rescue 3 provider, I would blow the suit up to find the hole, clean with acetone and slap on a patch cut from an old drysuit using aqua seal, its wasn't breathable but it was water proof

Aqua seal is a good thing to have for all kinds of outdoor gear repair, 7 pages of how to fix your own fucking gear eh

I have seen some bad fucking patch jobs done with dentalfloss & bathtub caulk, so whatever you do fix on the INSIDE unless of course its a lined piece where you can not

Aquaseal?

Never heard of it.

Aquaseal?

Never heard of it.

Imagine Flex Seal, Shoe Goo, Marine Epoxy, Solar Res and Super glue all mixed together in a small convenient tube. Pretty much fix anything, permanently.

If it's an unlined shell, line up the edges of the tear and tape with packing tape on the outside. Then a used dryer sheet and some aqua seal on the inside. If you do a good job lining up the edges you can hardly notice the repair on the outside.

That’s fucking brilliant. Aqua seal 2.0.

Such a clean repair idea. Thx.
