Managed to get a small ‘L’ shaped tear in my eVent jacket. It’s not actually a hole, it’s sort of pulled off the inner slightly with the ‘L’ tear in the outer fabric…does that make sense?

What’s best to repair it?

thanks

Goretex repair patches will work. I tore an L shaped tear in my eVent shorts, about 2cm x 3cm. Used a goretex patch, & has held fine for the last 2 years inc washing regularly. Can get them from most good outdoor shops, Cotswold Outdoors, GoOutdoors, Blacks etc.

Goretex tape repair. Works a treat.

There’s the kits mentinoed already but also seen this: Outdoor Kit Repairs

Hope it helps.

Thanks guys – I was torn between the patches and tape but I ended up ordering one of those McNett Goretex patch repair kits from Go Outdoors and supplemented my order with some half price Nikwax Wash and Re-proofer. Give the old girl a new lease of life:)

Although my bright orange jacket will now have a quite obvious big black patch on the elbow

wooleymonster, shame I’d not seen your post, I’m only down the road from them!

Scottish Mountain Gear – in Musselburgh – will do ‘proper’ repairs if you can afford the postage and costs.
