Anyone ripped their waterproof shorts before and repaired them

What is the best way? They are Altura Attack 3/4s.

I have a large L shaped rip in mine about 6cmx6cm long on the left leg panel

look up tenacious tape, great stuff and copes with washing.

I've used tent tape (on the inside) & super glue (on the outside) on waterproof trousers before now

cheers guys, I think I will try the tenacious tape.

Apparently, the gore ones are only supposed to be temporary repair?

Thanks

If you want to do a really good job. Tape it on one side with the sides of the rip flush to each other. Then stitch it. Then tape it again on the other side. Seam grip is also very good, with tape.

Or you could just duct tape em.
