GEAR AIDGEAR AID Wetsuit Repair Kit with Neoprene Patch, Fix Seams and Tears , Black , 6” x 10"

The girth of my thighs always causes the inseams near the crotch of my pants to wear out before any other wear begins to show. When this area of my neoprene workout pants started to wear thin and make it too embarrassing for me to do floor work when anyone else was around to see my pasty skin or underpants through the ever-widening thin spots, I finally got this patch kit and fixed my pants. It took a little creative maneuvering to get the most out of this patch and get sufficient coverage over the worn spots on account of the contours of the crotchular region I was needing to patch. Here's how I did it:1. Assess the damage2. Create a paper template that sufficiently covers the area to be patched3. Cut pieces from patch material. I used 2 patches for the worn spots in the crotch on both sides (inside & outside) on both the front and back of the pants then used another little piece to cover a small rip on the waistband (not shown here)4. I don't have a tailor's ham or a mini iron, so I used a piece of scrap fabric and glass-head pins over an old oven mitt to use my own hand to manipulate and hold the material while pressing small areas of the patch with the tip of my large iron5. Position patch and use glass-head pins on seams to hold in place while ironing6. Spot iron patch a little bit at a time, covering less contoured areas first then spot iron areas on either side of a pucker (being mindful not to iron a pucker or fold into the pants)7. Carefully use scissors to snip the patch over the places where the pants are puckering (sorry for the blurry image - it was difficult to hold both the pants and scissors while taking a picture)8. Spot iron both sides of the snip on either side of the puckerI did this in on both sides of the pants (inside and out) on the worn spots on both the front and back of the pants. It was probably overkill, but I had enough of the patch material for this amount of coverage and I didn't want to risk further wear on either side. The patches held up so well, they outlasted the whole rest of the pants. I would totally use this product in the future if/when I ever again have worn or torn neoprene to fix.

Easy to use. Salvaged my favorite wetsuit

I used these to a repair a hole in cycling bib shorts caused by a cracked carbon saddle that went undetected for a couple long rides. At first the adhesion was not great due to the amount of friction the repaired area demanded. So, I ended up sewing the patch around the edges to help prevent curl up, which allowed the patch to do its job. The patch visually matches well enough. Saved a $250 pair of bib shorts - I've used them 20-30 since the repair and the patch is still holding up.

I used this fabric to reinforce the elbows of my O'Neil wetsuit. Followed the directions exactly. The patch stayed on for just under an hour of use in the water. Fabric is very thin so probably wouldn't have helped much with wear, but iron-on function definitely disappointing.

I bought this to repair an old wetsuit with a torn seam. I was a little trepidatious after reading the reviews, which had conflicting instructions. In the end, I pretty much followed the instructions that came with the repair kit exactly, with a few tweaks. Here's what I did:-- Cleaned area with rubbing alcohol beforehand and let it dry completely-- Made sure wetsuit was on a flat surface with NO WRINKLES (this is more important than people emphasize - if your wetsuit is not completely flat, the patch will not totally adhere to wrinkles and I have a feeling it could mess up the whole patch)-- Cut material with rounded corners and plenty with plenty of room to spare-- Turned iron up to Wool setting (not Synthetic/Delicate like the instructions say - I did Synthetic first and the material didn't seem to quite be adhering. I changed it to Wool and then I started seeing the extra glue glistening around the edges (shown in pic) and it seemed much more secure)-- Used the ironing paper that came with the kit. I didn't use a towel as others suggested. I thought that would reduce the heat too much, especially if you used the Synthetic/Delicate setting!-- Held it down as hard as I could for 10 seconds at a time, then repositioned the paper and iron.-- There were several wrinkles in my wetsuit and this is where I would caution you. If you have a section that doesn't quite lay flat, I would recommend cutting separate pieces of the patch material, as many as you need for each piece to lay flat. I ended up snipping little gaps in the patch to allow each piece to lie flat, since the material was stretched over a wrinkle in my wetsuit and I'm worried it could become a new hole.All in all, this was pretty quick, easy to use and the patch seemed to be adhered well. If you're reading this, assume I'm surfing toastily ever after. I'll update this review if not!

I crashed on my bike and had several large holes ripped into my lycra cycling bib shorts. The holes were essentially parts of fabric that just abraded off as I slip on the pavement, so there was no underlying fabric when I put the patch on. The largest hole was about 3" in diameter. Since the shorts were fairly expensive, I thought that I would give this repair a try, versus throwing out the shorts. After putting the patch on (using a hot iron) I had one corner that refused to stay adhered to the shorts. I had to iron it several times in order to get it to stick (I was always afraid of keeping the iron on too long and melting the lycra). In the end, I just kept the iron on longer and longer each time the corner of the patch started to come off the fabric. After the last time, the patch has stayed on even after several washings. The patch material is flexible and stretchy and I would highly recommend it for those of you looking to repair lycra. The patch is a really good repair for what I thought was an unrepairable hole. The patch fabric is not super thick and is quite stretchy...just like lycra. Very happy with this and I recommend it.

My cycling shorts had a small tear and my milky white but was poking through the tear, my cycling buddies informed me of my shame. Now these bibs shorts were $160 and they were my favorite, so I was gutted that they were busted. I watched the university of you tube and I was informed of this product. My bib shorts were fixed in 10 mins. Sticky, flexible, iron on material. Washed them many times and the patch is still working. Awesome.

Práctico y portable

Ideal para reparar neoprenos. Si el agujero es grande , debes pegarlo con el adhesivo color negro para esto.
