Jacket Repair

[ScottyKM]

ok, got on the ferry at rotterdam the other day, busied myself with tying the bike down, just attaching a strap between front wheel and centre stand when i smelt something funny

yep, i have a hole around2-3 inches across on the sleeve of my trusty dainese jacket, now i cant justify a new jacket, so the wife tells me

so does anyone know how i can get it repaired (aside from a strip of duct tape!)

the lining isnt compromised, just the shell.

cheers in advance guys

Easiest way would be find someone who's had an off and get their fubar'ed gear for a patch.

REPAIR KIT INSTRUCTIONS
The patches supplied in this kit will provide a temporary water resistant repair for GORE-TEX® fabric products.

• Patches should be kept in sealed plastic bag until used.
• Area to be repaired must be clean and dry.
• Patch will not adhere effectively to loose debris, grease or oil.
• Patch should overlap tear by at least 1/2" in all directions.
• Remove release paper from back of patch. Lay GORE® product on a smooth flat surface and apply patch using finger pressure (adhesive side down). Rub patch surface in a circular motion from the center out covering the entire patch area.
• Product can be used immediately; however, the adhesive will continue to strengthen over the next 12 to 24 hours.
• The durability of the patch can be enhanced by applying heat and moderate pressure. Use a clean iron and set to medium heat. Press with moderate pressure in a circular motion for 30 seconds.

For permanent repair, W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. can provide the name and phone number of a certified repair facility.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please call 800-431-GORE.
