Repairing tear in jacket

[Shug]

Managed to get a wee tear in my jacket. Its a sherpa primaloft waterproof one. Is it possible to repair and make the repair waterproof? L shaped and its along a seam and upwards.
Caught it on the end of the metal safety bar on glencoe chairlift today. Only had it 2 months
On the bright side it was a cracking day for snowboarding, tho my muscles will think differently tomorrow.

Mcnett Tenacious tape is worth a go.

Whereabouts on it did it rip?

[Shug]

On the sleeve, near the armpit. More towards the front as the jacket has armpit zips.
Was the single chairlifts on cliffhanger. Was looking back to grab on and the wee pin on the safety bar caught my jacket.
My muscles are also in a chunk of pain just now, but I guess time is the only cure for that one!

+1 from me - have used it on the inside of waterproof trousers and gaiters - so far so good - cheers

Cant remember the name of my jacket, but pretty sure this is it:

(paid less than the sale price for it thankfully)
I'll hunt down some of that tenacious tape. Cheers prog99/rockhopper.

And guess who snagged the sleeve of her pretty much brand new Montane Atomic tonight? What was I doing, you may ask? Climbing Ben Nevis? Sliding dramatically down scree? Fighting my way through a veritable jungle of gorse?

No. I was coming out of the toilet cubicle in Tesco and snagged it on the bloody door catch.

I don't think it's too damaged, but I cried. Like a baby.

I've tended to use duct tape on the inside of the offending article and then cover the tear outside with a layer of seam sealer. Not the prettiest solution, but effective and strong.

or spinnaker tape from boat shops. comes in lots of pretty colours. I mended my brand new down jacket with it after I cut it on broken glass - was doing my bit for society carrying home a load of abandoned beer bottles off the beach. that was about 4 years ago and it is still fine. Cut whatever tape you are using with rounded corners, they are less likely to lift than if they are square.
