Need help with Repairing Wind Shell

You can just use sil tape and maybe some seam sealer.

how big are the holes? you might just be able to use seam sealer.

Do you sew? Casue it would not really matter what kind of thread especailly for what is being presented as a very small hole.

I would go with the sil tape or any other tape for that matter. But i have use sil tape to repair all kinds of things from melted down jackets to splitting tent seams.

Yeah, ditto. If you think they are small enough to sew and close the hole in a way that is also cosmetically acceptable to you, then do that with a few stitches, and seal it on the inside with some mcnett seam grip. This will be waterproof, but it should also bind everything together and prevent further enlargement of the hole.

If the holes are larger you can do the full monte and use a patch with this same technique.

I think you can safely use standard polyester thread.

Where can you get Sil tape? and is it as easy as just applying it to the fabric? The holes are pretty tiny smaller than a penny significantly.

Patch with silnylon and sealant. Sewing patch in place as well might be advised.

Cheers

I had the same problem with my golite whim wind pants from '07 and I sewed up a small hole using some pretty standard nylon thread I picked up at a craft store. I'm not the best seamstress either. Hope this helps

here is what I use and carry every trip. Works great. I use seam sealer also to make sure the edges stay down.
