Wonder if anyone could help. Was out on a buddies boat the other day hooping, and I got my Stohlquist Jacket (just got it 3 weeks ago!!!) snagged on something and it tore. Anyone know the best way to repairs these?????

Thanks!

Yup. Little dab on the inside of the jacket. If you are feeling fancy you can goop on a piece of cheesecloth to hold it all together, but just straight goop is good too. End result is ok in the washer & dryer too

went with a glue on patch I got at Adventure 16. The tear is significant where goop wouldnt due the trick. They were pretty cheap ( only a few bucks) and I got a few different types just in case one didnt hold up. It is basically designed for tents and rain gear. They even had a goretex patch, which I picked up just in case the waders get a tear.
