xVersatile fabric repair you can trust
TEAR-AID Type A patches combine a tough, matte elastomer with a high-strength adhesive to form a flexible, durable repair. The patch absorbs impact and returns to its original shape, so it can conform to irregular surfaces without restricting movement. A see-through patch helps colors stay true while delivering dependable performance in everyday scenarios.
Designed to perform across a wide range of materials, this kit offers a practical solution for many common fabric and gear repairs. While results vary with each use, you may notice patches that stay in place through bending, stretching, and light use in daily activities, from outdoor adventures to routine wear and tear.
