Okay I would like to know a couple of things - one is this material available? Second, can you sew it using regular thread and all that?!?
I am asking because my DH went hunting and yup, ripped his pants! I have been asked to fix it! My problem is I have no idea where to find this material and I don't know if I can actually patch his pants! He ripped the area between the top of his legs to put it politely and I know Gortex is water resistant. There would be my problem - if I patch these pants I am going to not have water resistant pants, at least in that area! Am I correct?!?
Any help would be greatly appreciated from all you wonderful members!!!!
Thanks in advance!

Google Gortex fabric repair, you can buy patch material. :D

thanks for the info! I will try that!

I just found out from my husband that a simple patch won't cover what he ripped! Back to the drawing board!
But thank you for your advice!

THere is special thread that is water resistant but don't know if it is available in your area.

LMBO My DB had a similar dilemma... :roll:
I told him patches can only work in some areas LOL He didn't think my idea of wearing a apron to cover his damaged gortex was very amusing :twisted: :lol: :twisted:

They make this stuff called GORE-SEAM that seals the seams in Gortex jackets. You could sew it and then apply this tape and it'll be sealed again. Of course, I had no luck finding it online when I looked.
