After a very fun few days of ice climbing, I've discovered a new love, acquired some very sore muscles, and ripped or sliced three articles of clothing. How do y'all repair your waterproof gear?

Thanks!

Ripstop tape plus perimeter stitching with a light coat of SilNet has worked for me in the past.

I've tried stick-on patches, and they always peel off before too long. Here is how I fix my waterproof stuff:

Seam-Grip!

A neat stich and Seam Grip is by far the most long lasting fix that is 100% waterproof.

If its a big hole you cant stitch closed then what Ben mentioned is best. You can get goretex patches as well

Just stitch and re-seal. If you can't stitch it, stitch on some matching coated nylon and seal it. Stick on patches and repair tape always seem to peel off at the worst times...

I carry a small sewing kit with me on long trips with some scrap nylon and sealer. Only had to use it once or twice, but it kept me from being wet and cold both times.

EDIT:
The Goretex patches are a waste of money. Unless the hole is huge, one small patch of non-breathable coated nylon isn't going to affect your jacket's performance.

I've had luck with small holes using the stickers that come in the Thermarest repair kits.

I put on the basic rip stop patches and then go over them with shoe goo. Seems to be the burliest option I've found that allows me to skip the sewing part.

I've tried the goretex patches, they worked ok, but eventually peeled off! Ive used duct tape that was pretty good but also eventually peeled off. The best stuff I've used is from home depot can't remember what it's called, but it's basically for dipping your work tools in to create a rubber grip. Hold the tear together and paint it on. It's flexible and waterproof. Maybe not pretty, but effective. My old black lowe alpine h2o proof pants have red spots of this stuff all over. Looks like I've been shot.

duct tape, inside layer and outside. works cheap,looks like crap.
