I thought I’d stored my gear safely on a hook in the shed. A mouse managed to get up and scoff an Orlieb pannier (beyond repair) and a corner out of my Revelate pocket. I’ve crudely taped up the hole with spinnaker tape but don’t think it will be a durable waterproof repair. Is it possible to repair it economically or should I just buy a replacement.

First of all, lay down traps.

LSR Lancashire sports repairs ( they do it all from shoes,boots,clothing and tents) Photograph the issue and send them an email of it, they will quote. Been quick and affordable in past.

Excellent. Traps set and poison laid. I caught three mice and a couple of soup plates full of poison have been eaten so hopefully I’ve wiped them out. I’ve got a more secure storage system now.

The bags have been on some memorable trips and I don’t want to throw them away if a repair is possible. I’ll take some pictures and contact LSR. Thanks

they (S M G) were who I was going to mention, too – did good job of a jacket and also a tent.

I’d have thought spinnaker tape would make quite a good fix for the moment.

You can buy goretex repair patches.

How big are these holes? Are you worried about them being pretty?

Tuff Tape or something from McNett would probably work. I used some Tuff Tape to repair an Alpkit Gourdon after a crash left it in pretty bad shape

Alpkit sell some actually – https://www.alpkit.com/products/stormsure-watersports-repair-kit

This Stormsure stuff works well – have used it to patch several holes in Goretex jackets and waterproof stuff sacs and have been impressed with its performance (easy to apply, surprisingly tough and stays stuck).
