In the two pictures: First is when a GoreTex patch was applied to a pair of Men’s Ski Pants in the crotch to repair a repeated split opening of the stitching. The 2nd picture is the same pants put after 4 days of Alpine skiing and riding chair lifts as well as two times snowshoeing. The patch is holding up very well in a very difficult area subject to stress and strain and pulling. It’s been 3 weeks since the patch was applied.The technique I used was as follows: cleaned the pant area with denatured alcohol and used a hair dryer to dry. Cut the rectangular piece of Gear Aid Gore-Tex to size and rounded the 4 corners. Heated first the pants area with hair dryer and then applied the patch and pressed firmly in place and used the handle part of a hair brush to apply pressure on the patch while sliding it along the patch. Then using the hair dryer I heated the patch evenly and again using the handle to apply pressure. Did this heating and applying pressure three times. Do not over heat the patch because you could possibly separate the adhesive from the fabric part of the patch. The point of the heat is too soften the adhesive and base fabric (pants) just enough so as to assist the adhesive to work it’s way into the base fabric to create a bond. Then let it cool and don’t apply anymore pressure. I left the pants untouched and not used for 24 hrs. The results are quite impressive so far considering this difficult application. If it were just a sleeve or shoulder or back of a coat or pants then it would even be more impressive results. I hope this patch works for years. We shall see. Based on above I would recommend this product. I think more color choices would be very helpful for other people with different fabric colors. In my case it was a great match of just their standard Black Gore-Tex

My boyfriend has this hideous black down vest that I hate. His dog bit into it and cast feathers everywhere. I hoped it was the end of the ugly vest until he pleaded with me to "fix" the big chewed dog hole in his vest. The hole was about 2" long and i tried to sew it. No such luck, there were still feathers everywhere coming through. I purchased a traditional patch, but it needed to be melted on and the material of the vest was nylon, so there is no way it was going to work (would have melted the origional material.) I came across this Gear Aid GORE-TEX Fabric Repair Kit. It was my last attempt to fix this vest. Well, it worked PERFECTLY. I attached it right over my poor sewing job and then put it in a low heat dryer the next day (for about 20 min). My boyfriend was so impressed with the repair, he couldn't even FIND the repair at first. This is a wonderfully strong product that I WILL buy again if I ever get a tear in a down jacket, sleeping bag, tent, or similar structure. The item worked as specified and made for a very clean repair. My only problem now is that my boyfriend is back to wearing this hideous vest all the time....at least now there are not feathers falling out of it. :)**note: if you wanted to use this patch for a tent (or similar thin material) you would probably be best to patch both sides of the fabric. This would eliminate the sticky residue on the inside of the patch. You could set it with a low heat hair-dryer or sit in the sun for a day. It would make a great "on-the go" patch for avid hikers/campers since it is self-adhesive.

Went on easily. Haven’t used the rain suit yet, so don’t know how durable it is. Wish the color would have matched better, but if it works then I guess it’s ok

Not really needed for most repairs (the regular Tenacious Tape works very well), but in the rare occasion when you want the breathability, then these are awesome. I have buddies who take great pride in having duct tape all over their ski gear (like badges of courage). Not me. Proper repair requires Tenacious Tape. This stuff works better and looks great.
