GEAR AID Tenacious Tape 3”x20” Fabric and Vinyl Gear Repair Tape, Quickly Fix Holes and Rips in Puffy Jackets, Rain and Snow Gear, Tents, Sleeping Bag and More, Clear, 1 Pack

Everyone who camps should have this tape. Yes, everyone.Let me tell you a story about an idiot (me).I was out motorcycle camping with some friends, we were hours away from anything, it's dark, I'm in my tent setting up, I tried to pack smart, I have everything I need, nothing I don't, I've been meticulous on my gear choices, and I'm just trying to have a good time. Well, I managed to snap a tent pole on a rather expensive brand-new bivvy tent. I didn't know this, but the inner tent poles can only be installed one way, the head end has to be towards the head of the tent, if they aren't.... well, you screw things up, and poles break.So, while I'm frustrated, I'm not going to let this ruin everything, this is the beginning of a whole weekend trip, and I want to enjoy this. No problem. I'll just tape the pole, even if it's not perfect, it'll hold for a few days.So I crawl out of my tiny tent, go grab my tape, go back to the tent, and cut a length of tape. Right next to my (also brand-new) inflatable sleeping pad. Annnnnd I drop my knife right onto the inflated sleeping pad. Surprisingly, it doesn't land point-first and go right through, so I think I'm fine. Well, 2 hours later I wake up, and I'm laying on the ground, sleeping pad is half empty, and I realize, no, I'm not fine. I screwed up, and things are about to be very cold and miserable for the next few days.Then I remember, a last minute purchase, that I made right before the trip, I got some tenacious tape. Everyone raved about this stuff. There's no way it could possibly hold good enough to keep air in the pad with all of my weight on top of it, right?So, off I go again, digging in my pack, find the tape, it's a miracle, I actually remembered to pack it. I cut off a small square, (this time a very long ways away from my tent and anything that I can destroy) and tape the pad up and press it on the best I can. I blow some more air into the pad and gingerly put my weight back on it. And it holds! So, I feel like an idiot, and also happy with myself at the same time. I did break the rule of not doing dumb things, but at least I brought the right stuff to fix my mistakes. That pad held air for the rest of the trip, no leaking at all. I was extremely surprised and impressed.Moral of the story is, buy tenacious tape, and put it in your bag. If you manage to do something extremely stupid, maybe you can fix it.

Great product to take with you on a backpacking trip in case you need to repair your tent , sleeping pad , etc .

I bought it to you to repair tent and clothes when I'm backpacking and it works but it's not as sticky as other reviews made me think. Especially if you using small pieces to cover tiny holes in your clothes it feels quite easily. I use bigger pieces, maybe about an inch by inch to fix my tent fly and there it holds reasonably well. But I still feel that regular duct tape holds much better and it's significantly cheaper.I used a small piece to fix my inflatable sleeping pad and it's been a year and it's still holds. So at least for this, it worked pretty well

Awesome product 👌

Súper adherente

Clear tape that does not destroy the look of the fabric. Covered up a tear in my brand new jacket made by my sweet puppy. I highly recommend it. Totally invisible.

I bought this to repair a columbia Turbodown puffer vest that has a 1.5 inch cut in it. I prepped the area and the plan was to put the tape inside the vest cut. I cut an appropriate amount, rounded the corners and pealed back the protective backing. Once done I rolled a rolling pin over it to make sure it got pressed down. It only slightly stuck and I was quickly losing my patience because I wanted a clean looking fix.When it didn't work I was forced to sew stitches along the cut through the tape. I didn't like that so I hand embroidered a lizard over the slit because why let it stay ugly.Then I tested the tape again on an inside pocket composed of the same material as the outer of the puffer vest. It didn't stick. Barely took effort to remove the patch. I don't have access to a wide variety of sleeping bags, tents or puffer jackets but this product wasn't worth the 6 bucks and still caused me to sew the area. You can get thread and a needle for under 2 bucks and still have plenty left over.Your mileage may vary. I'm not saying it won't work but it didn't work for me and just wasted my time.

It works, but it sure is ugly.
