McNett says
When lightweight fabrics rip or tear, quickly patch it up with Tenacious Tape Silnylon Patches. Made from strong, ripstop nylon and backed with a silicone-based adhesive, apply these peel-and-stick repair patches on silnylon tents, tarps, backpacks, and stuff sacks. This repair kit includes two 3” x 5” sheer patches that permanently bond to any silicone-treated fabric. Like all Tenacious Tape, these patches are washable and weatherproof for repairs that last. Now it’s easier than ever to fix torn, ultralight gear with the mess-free Tenacious Tape Silnylon Patches.
Our Verdict
McNett's Tenacious Tape has been hugely successful so the addition of these Gear Aid Silnylon Patches are another handy piece of kit. The two patches measure 3” x 5” (7.6 x 12.7 cm), are made of 40D siliconized ripstop nylon and most importantly are simple to use and effective. The same tape could be used to repair sleeping mats, tents, waterproof clothing - if you only want to take one repair item this could be a good choice.
