Review on Gear Aid Tenacious Tape Mini Patches: Repair Down Jackets, Sleeping Bags, Tents, and Rain Gear with Ultra-Strong Adhesive Tape by Gelin Battle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Is working. Mostly

These works. most of time. I have a pair of hiking pants (polyester fabric) that had a hole in the crotch area after vigorously fanning the fire. I love that it has both black and clear spots; I used sheer and cut out two small squares for the outside and inside of the fabric. I also have a shirt (cotton) with a hole so I used the same treatment but this time with black spots. After putting them on I put some weight on the area to make sure they would stick to the fabric. After that I tossed them in the washing machine on a cool/gentle setting and then in the dryer to tumble dry/low. The patches on the pants were ok and didn't even look wet or anything like that. However, the patches on the shirt came off. Also, the experience of cutting the patches was a little painful. It's like a band-aid - if you use the whole square then it's easy thanks to the "Peel to Apply" method. However, if you want smaller shapes and need to cut them out, it becomes difficult as you lose the free part of the flap. Anyway, I like its portability, I'll definitely go in my travel bag along with the first aid kit since it's so small.
