I read on Alpacka’s website about quick patching in the field using patch n go which is in their basic repair kit. I went directly to the patch n go website and bought some because he has 4 different kits with each with tapes of different thickness. Shipping was quick.

@jshann

He probably buys this and resells it at a higher price.

Alpacka recommends tyvek tape, gorilla tape and patch n go FWIW. Use whatever works. I’ve had marginal performance from tear aid on tents and my fly fishing waders. The only real permanent fix I achieved is with seam grip or aquaseal.
