Had a brown pants moment on Nitrous at Hamsterley yesterday. Straight over the handlebars and slid down a berm on my elbow n ass. Put a small (3cm oval shape) hole in my Endura mt500 waterproof jacket.
Any ideas on best way to repair hole? Have used duck tape on work jackets but would like a less agricultural repair!
spinnaker tape
Have a look out for goretex self adhesive patches....
[url= http://www.scottishmountaingear.com/ ]Scottish Mountain Gear[/url] did a fantastic job repairing my Mavic HC H20.
I managed to mangle the underarm catching it on something sharp and it wasn't an easy self-repair as there was some material missing. They cut out the damaged area and have sewn in new material in a way that you'd never notice any of the original damage. Very impressed and happy.
£20-30 would be a lot to repair a £50 jacket but I could justify the much better job done by the professionals on a ~£200 jacket and feel it is a reasonable expense given the quality of the repair and mess the material was in after damaging it.
Ripstop tape - £1.50 on eBay!
Tenacious tape, about £7 from outdoor shops. Lasts several washes but then u just tape it up again.
Back to endura! Email them, I lacerated my jacket on a barbed wire fence, they quoted me ~16£ repair (which I though was insane as it basically needed a new arm), sent it off and got a brand new jacket back - free. Unbelievable.
Gotta be worth an ask.
THT.
Thanks for replies- I thought of sending it to Endura but I bought it from here so no proof of purchase!
At least I have a few options to repair it!
Still might be worth getting in touch with Endura (maybe initially omit where it was bought unless asked)- They have a great reputation and may well surprise you
