Gear Aid Tenacious Tape Fabric Repair Tape
(5 reviews)
Featured review
by Nick Cai
Stronger and more aesthetic solution than duck tape.
Reasons to Buy
- Stronger and stickier than duck tape
- Easy storage
- Simple to use
Reasons to Avoid
- Small chance that tape won't come off from backing
- Not a lot of tape for the price you pay
This is the only gear repair tape I've used, but I'm pretty happy with the results. I got this tape with the intention of repairing this terrible tear that I created on interior fabric of my rain jacket. I cut out a generous amount and applied it directly to the tear. The great thing about this tape is that so far, none of the edges of the tape have frayed after application. I will probably buy more for future use. This tape is a much better solution that duck tape to fix holes and your gear will have a much longer lifespan. I also applied it to where the tape seams have started to break. It even worked on the back of my shoe where a hole started to form.
