What's the best way to patch a 1" long rip/hole in MLD mesh pockets (non-stretch mesh)? Loosely sew it? Back to back circles of black repair tape? Thanks.

I have used clear Tenacious tape in similar repairs (Don't own a MLD pack). I like to round the corners on my patch and I yet have to see one come loose. If it's mesh you may want to make a sandwich enclosing the mesh.
Gorilla Tape also works great but clear tenacious tape probably looks better.
is like Maro says, you'll want to sandwich the thing.
that will keep caca from sticking to your patch.

Tyvek tape and glued patches work well for solid fabric but for repairs to mesh I prefer a heavy gauge thread, a needle and either a whip or chain stitch.
