Sw-ump Posted April 14 Report Posted April 14 This past weekend my Davis windbreaker snagged on a fence and got a hole in it. Does anyone have any repair tips? I was thinking tenacious tape or a similar product. Quote

MadMax Posted April 16 Report Posted April 16 Davis is using Ripstop fabric for the construction of that jacket (It's a convertible* – "Connie" – is it not?). So, a camping store such as a Cabela's, Bass Pro Shop, Scheel's or REI is going to have Ripstop repair patches specifically for critical gear items such as tents and backpacks. Patch it from the backside (for strength) by closing the gash as closely as possible, and then, when you're able to, have a tailor/seamstress sew around the gash thru the patch, making a union of the two. You'll have a "thread scab", but it won't get any worse, and a supervisor won't be able to see it beyond 10 feet away. ... or maybe 5 feet. Some supervisors are... I won't say it. * - It's not a "windbreaker". Windbreakers are big and billowy, in loud 1980's colors. Connie the Convertible is svelte, sleek, and discreet. 1 1 Quote
Sw-ump Posted April 16 Author Report Posted April 16 Thanks @MadMax I was on the right track with the tent repair tape. Sewing back through it is a good idea, will have to start doing that with all my outdoors gear. Maybe you can get the Davis site to remove windbreaker from its product name 😂 Quote
