Hi,

I have an Altura Night Vision Evo cycling jacket that has started to split on the pockets and the like. I want to repair it because they’re just too expensive to keep purchasing. Has anyone repaired these before? Does anyone recommend a glue or a method to repair them with?

 

This is the current state of the jacket.

Sugru. Not tried it on a jacket, but I’ve used it on a pair of walking boots, and it’s held up well. Would probably work well though, especially if you can stick it to both sides. Comes in red too so shouldn’t look too bad.

McNett Gore-Tex repair

McNett Gore-Tex repair patches have worked for me in the past but TBH your jacket looks a bit beyond repairable, particularly with the tear on the pocket seam leaves very little material to secure to.

Yes, its called money. Go to shop, apply money, item is as good as new.

I’m not being flash, just a reminder that you don’t have to suffer every time to fix things.

I’ve used the “tenacious tape

I’ve used the “tenacious tape” on kids waterproofs in the past.  It does stick like the proverbial and lasts pretty well and is relatively transparent, but it’s not cheap for a small roll.

Ripstop or spinnaker tape

Ripstop or spinnaker tape generally isn’t sticky enough on its own in my experience but you can try using a flexible glue to augment it. I’ve used this stuff in the past, including on wetsuits and it’s pretty good as long as you’re not looking for an invisible repair.

I’ve used Spinnaker tape or ripstop tent repair patches and super glue in the past for split seams.

I should imagine something

I should imagine something like this would be the best solution. It does say it can be used on down jackets etc
