Gear Aid | Tenacious Tape Repair Tape

Permanent, Peel-and-Stick Repairs for Vital Gear

Whether you snagged your favorite puffy coat on a rogue branch along the Bluff Wilderness Trail or tore your tent fly during a heavy coastal gale at Meat Cove, gear failure shouldn't end your trip. Gear Aid Tenacious Tape Repair Tape is the ultimate field-repair solution. Designed with an ultra-aggressive adhesive that bonds permanently to technical fabrics like nylon, vinyl, rubber, and GORE-TEX®, it provides a fast, foolproof fix that prevents small rips from turning into massive blowouts.

Forget messy liquid glues or sewing kits. Tenacious Tape features a simple peel-and-stick application—just remove the backing, apply firm pressure, and you are ready to get back outside. Engineered to be highly discreet and exceptionally durable, the waterproof coating ensures your repair stays intact through heavy rain, harsh winter weather, and even the washing machine (after a 24-hour cure time). From sleeping bags to ski pants, this tape is the cheapest, most effective gear insurance you can carry.
