Patching hunting puffy Jacket and vest

[Corey Paulsen (teamkabob)]

Looking to see options on how people are patching their puffy jackets and vest. I should of taken my puffy vest off when working on my truck and my puffy jacket found some Bobwire.
the jacket is probably going to get a patch behind it and sewn. But the vest is right in the middle of the down and on the front.

I use Uncle Lou's stealth strips for those repairs, stays on very well. Cut the repair patch in an oval or circular shape so you avoid 90 degree corners. You can also go around the edge with a small bead of silicone if you think it needs it.

Much better than tenacious tape.

Tenacious tape...

Peloton 97^.



Kuiu Pro Pant kneepad ^, that repair is a year old.

The stealth strips just plain stick on forever.

My puffy has a couple patches of Tenacious tape for the last 5 years when I burned it on my tipi wood stove- works great.

I think I have some gortex patches. Zap those blend in well! Tenacious tape blends not bad either.

Sail tape from a marine supply store.

I've got tenacious tape in 3 spots on my puffy and it's performed flawlessly.

Tenacious tape in two spots on my puffy pants And on a hole in the top of the toe box of one of my boots. Seems to hold well.

Put a small fabric patch in behind the tear, then glue tear together with liquid stitches. The fabric patch keeps the glue from getting on the down and the glue holds tight, dries clear and is flexible. This has worked really well for me.
