GEAR AID Tenacious Tape Mini Patches with Peel-and-Stick Adhesive Repairs Holes and Tears in Winter Gear, Down Puffer Jackets, Sleeping Bags, Tents and Rain Gear

I bought these as a quick fix to close a small hole on my black puffer coat while I was at school over the winter. They worked great and adhere really well to that style coat, and they are waterproof as a bonus. Easy to apply and you can barely notice it once it is applied. I have washed the jacket multiple times since applying and they have not started to come off at all. It is a great value for your money if you want a quick fix to any outdoor gear.

Saved me $$$$ Worked great for my black nylon puffer and son's snow pant tears at bottom of pants legs due to dragging on the ground because they were a little too long on him. Jacket and snow pants were black. I bought both clear and black tape. Black definitely worked better, looked better overall! Clear was too noticeable and does not meld to the fabric as well, it's a harder plastic like tape, stiffer and more noticeable than the black. I actually used clear first. I thought clear would work better on my black puffer jacket since my jacket is semi glossy but black blended in way better and more fabric like. I took the clear off my jacket, was no problem to remove and put the black tape instead. It's holding up great. I used the clear on my son's snow pant legs and it's cracking a bit and peeling, maybe because I had to fold tape over the edges of the bottom of the pant legs and the bottoms get wet a lot too from snow. I think black would have worked better, the black tape is more flexible, melds better, but wanted to use the clear up since I have it. I'll replace with the black tape eventually. Clear is the best alternative for colored items! But if you have black articles to mend, go with the black all the way!!!! It holds up better, looks better.

Working good on down jacket

A dog who was very excited to see me tore a small hole in the sleeve of my black puffer coat. I couldn’t tell her off, she’s too cute. A friend who camps a lot and has a ton of camping gear/tents/outdoor clothing told me to get this as he uses it a lot and loves it. Super quick fix, don’t notice it being there and it’s stopped the hole getting bigger. True black colour, blends in well and I didn’t need to cut to size.

I bought these on a whim before my last backpacking trip and am very thankful that I did! They come in a small, sturdy plastic case which make them easy to throw in any gear bag. They take up minimal room but have lots of uses.They came in handy when a rather persistent chipmunk chewed through the mesh of my tent to get at a food wrapper I stupidly left in the gear pocket. The clear patches sandwiched perfectly over the hole and held fast for the rest of the trip. At home, I was pleasantly surprised how easily they came off, leaving no residue.These gear patches are a great stocking stuffer for any hiker, backpacker, or outdoorsperson!

My black down jacket had a tear in it, which exposed the filling. First I bought the black mini-patches which worked beautifully to repair and hide the tear. I really like the way the whole patch sticks to the fabric without the edges curling up. The same jacket has side straps made of some sort of synthetic material that had begun decomposing over time. The straps looked shabby, with material flaking off. I bought a roll of the Tenacious Tape in black, which I cut into strips to wrap around the straps. The result looks great, as if I got a new jacket. I'm very happy with the quality of this product and the ease of use..

I used these patches to repair a tear in a down jacket. It did the job well and has not curled or loosened.Be careful when applying, you have one chance to get it done correctly. I did not get every feather hidden and there is a small white piece of feather under the clear patch that can be seen. That is the bad news, the good news is that the patch is almost invisible and is affixed well.

Serves a purpose, but only a month after application, and the edge of the patch is cracking in two places. Wished it lasted longer, but I suppose I can peel it off and apply another one. I also think getting the black color would have been better for my black coat because the clear ends up looking dark gray and is likely more noticeable than the black would have been.
