Anyone had success patching Arteryx rain gear?

[WVELK]

I have a one year old set of Arteryx rain gear. It made three trips to BC last year. Performed extremely well. However, on the last trip it left with one hole in the pant and one in the jacket. I tried patching with gear tape. It did not work well. If you have patched and been satisfied, please let me know what you did.

I use seam seal with the patches for all that type of gear. It’s bombproof once it’s dried.

Did you try reaching out to arteryx? I would assume that gear aid tenacious tape and aquaseal would do the trick.

The real fix is a legit seam-sealed patch. A repair place like rainy pass repair or similar does this all the time, it’s their bread and butter.
The alternative is a glued repair-tape type of patch. It wont last nearly as long if you use the jacket a lot, but it’ll keep the jacket functional and can be replaced as needed.

I have used tenacious tape and seam sealer on an Arc’teryx jacket that has held up for a few years. It is coming loose on one edge. I keep thinking I’ll pull it off and do it over or cover it with one of the earth tone patches.

No, that is the obvious thing to do but never have time during the day. Will make it a point to call.

What type of seam sealer do folks use?

They have a video that explains it. They can sell you an iron on patch. I just used the Gear Aid seam grip

I sent them my jacket and they did a great job patching it
