Jacket repair

[rcnute]

I tore my Showers Pass jacket. Just a little. What's the best way to fix it?

go to your local sporting goods store and buy a goretex repair kit, or one of the numerous available tent repair kits which come with some adhesive material and such. i've had decent luck with these.

I tore a hole in my Patagonia Houdini jacket a year ago. I put a piece of Tenacious tape on the inside and one on the outside and it has worked fine ever since. Regardless of what tape you use, make sure to round the corners, otherwise it will lift at the corners.

Send it to these guys. I had them do patch jobs on some of my cycling kits, shorts and jersey, and the quality was top notch.

Looks like they also specialize in Showers Pass jackets...

The knee warmers (I guess) on the flickr page are interesting. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mtnsoles/1281307478/in/album-72157600859186602/ :confused:
I need a zipper replaced on a winter coat. Think I'll check them out. Thanks!

Atlas snow shoes too. I had a pair repaired a few weeks ago, very satisfied with the whole process.

I never thought of this before. Thanks for the good tip. Ken
