How to repair ski pants

Hey NS, does anyone have any experience in repairing gore-tex ski pants?

They are insulated and the down is exposed but the tear hasn’t gone through all the layers in the pants.

Would a patch of some sort be sufficient? Would this also apply to the snow boot cut repair?

Cheers lads

Patches will be your best choice, if the pants are waterproof something like this would be perfect: https://www.gearaid.com/products/tenacious-tape-gore-tex-fabric-patches

I’ll definitely look into that, seems pretty easy and straight forward

ttape is the move 100%. i was just thinking that if you have the ability, sewing the sticky patch on would work really well. i’ve had ttape patches come off after a few washes before on pants

To be honest if the patch comes off after a few washes I wouldn’t be too bothered due to the price of them being relatively cheap.

The glue gets all over your needle and thread it doesn’t work very well unfortunately
