First lite rain jacket delaminating

[Bighorner]

I have a first lite storm tight that the pocket is delaminating. Anyone have any hot tips on how to repair it? Its second hand so I cant have it done under warranty and first lite dosent repair gear according the the bot I chatted with on their web site.


I can get it sewn and seam sealed, but the seamstress can not get around the zipper

When I've seen this type of material it has been when it is exposed to Deet. That stuff destroys anything oil based.

It’s kinda hard to see the extent of the damage by your pic but I’d try to use aquaseal or seam grip. Should be able to glue it back together and keep it water tight.

I had 2 stormtight jackets do the same thing. Was offered a 40% discount both times on full price replacements. I had bought both second hand and threw both in the garbage. The washer caused my pockets to desalination and fall apart.
I've moved on to sitka and kuiu raingear. Very happy with them

I'll look into the seam grip and aqua seal. It's pretty much the entire pocket. It was good for the past two seasons and I was pretty happy up to this past season. I didnt hit it with deet, but hard to say what happened before. I thinking I'll get a hold of rainy pass repair and see if that something they can fix. Thanks for the replies.
