Anybody got quick fix ideas to patch a hole in my drysuit without messing up the warranty? I was thinking duct tape on the inside and out, just big enough to cover the hole. It's about 1/4 inch long.
I don't want to send it away just yet.....

I've done a Gor-Tex iron on patch on a pencil sized hole in the seat of my suit. I test it often and it's dry. Probably available at REI or if you're in the neighborhood, swing by. I think I have a bit left.

A reply I got directly from Kokatat two years ago about a hole in my suit.

"If you need a temporary patch you can use duct tape on the inside of the suit where the hole is. Duct tape will work for several days. Remove the duct tape after using the suit several times so it will be easier for us to patch in the future."

Thanks! That's what I've been doing so far....
