These came in for repair. I didn’t make these bivy’s so this is sort of a humble brag.

Failure point was at the bottom of the foot section. Very light uncoated top and lightly coated bottom with only a serged seam.

Quick repair. Trim off frayed fabric (interestingly it was the coated fabric that gave away), stitch and bind with silnylon.
