Knee patch

[Johnny_Yemon11]

I accidentally burnt a hole in my First Lite pants last week. Really like these pants and they’re only a couple years old. I’ll post a pic and you’ll be able to see I fused the knee pad to the pant.

Any suggestions on what material to patch these with? They’re the Obsidian Foundry model, I reached out to First Lite and they don’t have access to spare materials(probably because they’re manufactured over seas).

I'd try something like this tenacious tape: https://www.gearaid.com/products/te...VDAuiwnAPNh3jlTkBoFhcI&variant=39637735899322

That’s a great idea! I’ve used the clear version for smaller holes in coats and ski pants. Any idea how it holds up to repeated washes?

buy another pair and save those pants for patches and knee pads

That’s not a bad idea, but looking for a solution to save these current pants and keep wearing them.

Try Rugged Repair.

Try Rugged Repair.

Not finding that one, would it be ruggedthread.com?

Yes. That's it. Kuiu recommends them for repairs. I currently have an old pair of Attack pants getting a new zipper.
