Damn, had an off on the bike today, nothing to serious but I now have a couple of small holes in my Sombrio Vapour Storm Jacket on the lower L/H sleeve.
Any of you peeps out there know of a suitable repair method? ie patching or similar.
The reason I ask as its a stretchy type fabric.
Any advice much appreciated, Ta

[url= http://www.mcnett.com/Seam-Grip-Seam-Sealer-Outdoor-Repair-P133.aspx ]Seam-Grip[/url] if the holes are small. For larger tears or rips, sow up with dental floss then seam-grip. It's like a mixture of arradite and silicone, waterproof and flexible. Lasts well and you can still wash the jacket as normal.

A little bit of sewing to give strength and hold it all in place the cover the inside if the rips with "seam seal"

If the holes are small use only seam seal

Seam seal is a flexible stretchy glue that you heat in hot water before applying, works brilliantly

Ta very much, the holes aren't to big so I'll give the Seam-Grip a go.

second seam-grip, I use it for everything from holes in camelback to tears in saddles.
