Any ideas on how to repair it?

Many years ago I used the red tuck tape on a similar rip on an adidas nylon jacket and it worked great, I was just wondering if anyone has a better fix?

Thanks!!

Duct Tape?

Since the seams look like they are electrically welded, theres pretty much nothing you can do to fix that, I would reccomend using Gorilla Glue on the seam, and then maybe trying it on the rip. Use a q-tip to apply and you can keep the rip pretty concealed if you try.

Hi,

I used tuck tape for the main rip and took storm feathers advice and used gorilla glue on the seam.

Glad to help! Gorilla Glue works wonders! Some seniors at the local high school used some to play their senior prank this year and Gorilla Glued all the locks in the school, apparently the school wasnt happy to the tune of $5500.00 to replace all the locks.
