Repair products for membrane clothing and footwear

  • Repair products are made for fixing small damage to membrane apparel and footwear at home, with no sewing and no service centre.

    A tear in your waders or a leaking seam does not mean the gear is finished. Most such damage is fixed in a few minutes, and the repair stays flexible and waterproof.

    What you will find here:

    • flexible adhesives for tears, small holes and detached parts;
    • products for reinforcing seams and taped strips;
    • solutions for neoprene, membrane fabrics and rubber boots.

    Damage repaired in time does not spread, so a repair usually costs less than a single new pair.

  • Membrane apparel and footwear work as long as their surface is intact. A single tear or a leaking seam is enough for water to get in, while the membrane itself stays perfectly sound. In the „Repair products“ category you will find what you need to fix that damage yourself.

    Repair adhesives stay flexible after they cure, so they do not crack where the fabric bends. That matters on waders at the knees, on jackets at the elbows and on rubber boots where the sole meets the upper. Clear products also suit visible areas, as they do not change the colour of the fabric.

    The most common cases are a tear from a branch or wire, a puncture in a neoprene sock, a lifted strip of seam tape and small holes worn in by abrasion. In all of these it is enough to clean and dry the area, apply the product and let it cure.

    To make a repair last longer, renew the water repellent finish afterwards with impregnation products, and wash the garment first with a detergent made for technical apparel.
