The Gore-Tex Repair

Step 1: Fall of your bike and use your arm as a brake.


Step 2: Purchase a GORE-TEX repair kit. (Kit contains 2 patches) £7.00 Jackson-Sports

Step 3: Wash the area around the hole and allow to dry fully. (If the holes are frayed use nail varnish to harden the material before adding the patch. This acts as a glue to hold the material together so the patch holds better)

Step 4: Measure the patch against the holes. (If cutting a patch use rounded edges to prevent the patch lifting.)

Step 5: Remove back from the patch and place it across the damaged area. Use an Iron on Medium heat for 30 seconds. Use a circular motion to apply heat evenly to the patch.

Step 6: Allow the patch 12 to 24 hours to dry.


Step 7: Try not to fall of the bike again!

If this fails there is a company that can repair the jacket. £30/35 Plus £7.50 Delivery.

  1. Sensacional Michael, ja tenim clar què fer amb la Paclite de la Betty si hi fa un set, petit o gran.

    Ara bé, estèticament és certament visible la reparació, però no sé si es podia posar el pegat per dins, és a dir que el quadrat anés interiorment?

  2. The patch would work on the inside yes. Most people put it on the inside if it is a clean tear. The problem I had was the type of holes. They burnt through the material causing holes rather than tears. The material was frayed leaving the risk of it catching and tearing more.

    The patches are great to have and I will carry them with me for the future.

  3. Molt bon criteri Michael, tens raó no és un set net, en cap cas.

    Una ferida fruït de sortir a pedalar, no és res, i amb el temps en veure el pegat, el recordaràs per la sortida, i encara serà una jaqueta més teva del que ja ho és ara.

    MTB, MTB, MTB.
