When a rock scramble snags and tears a rain jacket, the GORE-TEX Patches: 2. 5 Hex and 4in Rectangle are the repair patches that cover the damage with authentic GORE-TEX fabric. The hex and rectangle shapes suit different tears, and the peel-and-stick backing applies without sewing. The same patches cover rain pants, gloves and waders. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"After an edge caught my ski pants on a powder day, I pressed a patch over the tear and ran an iron over it to set the bond. It stayed on through the next wash, and wet snow stayed outside on my next run."
