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 Read more
Trying to find a new pair of "extremities" windstopper gloves I bought in Netherlands but can't find a replacement I like. Great for race bike riding in TX Winter but the palm seams have holes & rips (wear and tear ) Thought I'd try this for $10 instead on $40/$50 for equivalent. so far so good. good adhesion and almost invisible. Also looks Good for rips in my hiking jackets and pants. Give it a go, every little helps. Read more
If you look at my ratings profile, you'd probably think I give out too many 5 star reviews. While that does seem like it is the case, I really do not buy too many items from Amazon that I have not thoroughly looked at and found to be highly rated by other Amazon shoppers. These Gore-Tex fabric patches are no different. I have a camouflage Gore-Tex rain suit for hunting and recently when I was stepping over a barbed wire fence, I didn't push the fence down low enough or step over high enough and punctured a hole in my suit. I found these rated highly on Amazon and bought them. These are not too heavy a material for my rain suit, they cut to size easily and they ironed on very easily, sealing very tightly and conforming to one of the seams very well. I am very glad I found these to repair my Gore-Tex rain paints with. I bought an extra package to have on hand should I do the same thing again in the future. Updated 6Feb2020: Two years after I used this to repair a hole in my Gore-Tex hunting rain suit and the patches are still hold strong and not peeling up on the edges. I wear this gear several times a year while hunting in inclement weather. I am very happy with this product. Read more
