GEAR AID Tenacious Tape 3” x 20” Fabric and Vinyl Gear Repair Tape, Fix Holes and Rips in Puffy Jackets, Rain Gear, Tents, Sleeping Bags and Outdoor Equipment, Blue, 1 Roll

Excellent! The gear aid tenatious tape worked perfectly. I somehow managed to get a 1/2 inch right angle tear in the bottom of my Acothat 4 inch thick, self inflating mattress. The tape fixed it very easily and appears to be working perfectly. To be fair, I haven't used it since I fixed it. But, before I fixed it, I had to pile a bunch of heavy stuff on it just to keep it from self inflating while I drove home. Since fixing it, I used my pump to deflate it completely and it hasn't puffed up at all. There is a bit of a bump right where the corner type tear is. So, I put an extra patch on top of it for some extra strength. I've since read that a drop of glue before patching would help this. But I don't think it's more than a very slight cosmetic issue. Also, I found that when I tried to put the patch on, according to the directions, with the mat deflated, it was too crinkly to get a good seal. So, I did the opposite and put the pump on to blow it up. As soon as the surface was smooth and firm, I put the patch on and quickly turned the pump off. I got a perfect seal that way. I'll never camp again without this tape in my emergency kit.

Just a bit of magic here. I bought some of this fabric tape back in 2017 to fix a tear in a down jacket. I still have that jacket, and the tape is still holding the tear in place, plus the color just blended in with the color of the jacket, so unless you know where it is, you really don't notice it. I used a piece of that old tape (you get quite a large amount of tape for your purchase, so I had a huge amount left over from all those years ago) last week to fix a 2-3" rip in a winter glove, and the tape still had all its original adhesive. I've worn the gloves several times since in this cold January weather, and the tape is holding just fine, and again it's almost impossible to see the tape since the color matched so closely.

The tape is very durable. I got it in Platinum Nylon. I used it to repair holes and tears in the roof of my outdoor bench swing, which is some kind of canvas material. I was very pleased. I later ordered it in Sage Green, and it was much thinner, and flimsy. Although, the Sage Green looked like it would be durable as well, but not as durable as the Platinum Nylon, which is strange to me since they are the same price. When I worked with the Sage Green (outside), it was a bit breezy and that made working with it harder. Since it was thin and flimsy, it kept folding over itself, and I had to un-stick it from itself, which was a pain. Also, it didn't lie nice and flat and smooth like the platinum nylon. It had many wrinkles and buckles, which I didn't like the look of. But I suppose it will do the job of keeping the rips and tears from getting worse. The platinum nylon was thicker and seems more durable. It laid nice and flat and smooth when I laid it down. The platinum nylon is about as thick as duct tape. I wondered if I could just use duct tape and save myself some money (I spent a small fortune repairing this roof). But I read somewhere that duct tape is not meant for outdoor use because it's not waterproof. Anyway, I'm basically pleased with this tape. It could be cheaper though, since you only get one piece per package that is 20 inches by 3 inches. If you don't care about the color, I would definitely get the platinum nylon over the sage green. I can't speak for the thickness and durability of the other colors. Now, I'll see how long it lasts. I will update my review regarding this. UPDATE (10-20-17) Well, it's been 4 months since I repaired my canvas outdoor bench swing roof with this product and it is staying on beautifully! Both the sage green and the platinum. Not even the edges of the repair tape are fraying. And it's been outside in the elements the whole time (which really vary in Chicago). I also used some extra-strength heavy-duty duct tape to finish up repairing a few small tears, not wanting to spend the extra money getting more Tenacious Tape, thinking I could get away with it. Not so, the duct tape came off already, but not the Tenacious tape. I've decided that this product is worth the price. It looks like it will stay on forever. I upgraded to 5 stars.

cut it how you need prep the area you need to apply and it works well

Had a mouse eat a hole on the inside of Sitka Incinerator Bibs. This tape is incredible! I wiped with alcohol as directed and it really bonded well. Super flexible. Very relieved.

very tenacious and sticky. I first tried the fake leather but the glue is very weak, so I tried this tape and realized that even though it is not a leathery / shiny surface, its matte finishes acts as an invisibility cloak to itself and hides fairly well.

When stuck to the INSIDE of the shoe (with a little patience, it'll work) - 4 stars. When stuck to the outside of a shoe, 2 stars. My situation is a pair of pricey Asics running shoes, used for running for about a year, then as day to day sneakers after that. Each shoe developed a hole near the grand toe area and the pinky toe area, 4 holes total. (Am I happy with the shoes? Whole 'nother story.) This is a strong and well made product with good glue on it's back. But expecting glue to stick to the cloth/nylon fabric of a running shoe is probably being a bit too optimistic. Mine started partially peeling off within two or three weeks, and eventually I got tired of seeing it half hanging off, so I pulled it off. However, I had also managed to apply these patches around the holes, from the inside of the shoes at the same time. I didn't expect them to stick, but here I am several months later, and the ones on the inside are still holding strong (whereas none of the ones on the outside held.) Good news though, between dirt/dust/etc., the little patches of the sticky part that are exposed through the holes (remember, I'm talking about the patches stuck to the show from the inside) get coated quickly, so it's not the case that the exposed area is sticky to the touch now that it's on the shoe. I'm not quite ready to say this was a bad product. It's more a case of being realistic with your expectations.

Product works well used for repair of seams on goretex jacket. So far so good

La compré para reparar una casa de campaña que se me había rasgado como 15 a 20 cm funcionó muy bien y no se filtró el agua, lo coloqué de las dos caras

Too expensive for the quality of the product....

Meine neue Weste hatte leider durchs Aufhängen einen Riss in der Kapuze. Dieser konnte mit dem Reparatur Tape super geflickt werden. In der Kapuze fällt die getapte Stelle gar nicht auf, es ist aber auch eine sehr versteckte Stelle. Zur Haltbarkeit nach häufigem Waschen kann ich nichts sagen. Vereinzelte Waschgänge hat das Tape jedoch gut überstanden.

Reçu en moins de 2 jours et répare de façon durable ma doudoune. 👍
