Coghlan's Nylon Repair Tape

Purchased this to repair a couple of small cuts in my tent rain fly. Easy to use.

...can't even tell. This stuff is gold, and four of the most common colors for backpacking gear!

Why would you pay $9.00 for a fancy kit when this one is inexpensive, simple, easy to use. Repaired my motorcycle cover in 5 minutes!

Black less than black

Mostly to repair jacket and sleeping bag tears.

This patch kit is "universal" being that it comes with four different color patches to help match up to the various tents on the market. The problem is each color varies in size going from black as the largest and stepping down with each color change. While I like the color that best matched my tent I would have preferred the option to buy a package in this standard color. As such because I chose to patch from both inside and outside for double layer protection I had to use two colors. Yes I could have bought two packages but that would be double the waste or extra not going to be used. Adhesion is good but only after I left in sun . At first the edges were no sticking so great. After the sun though it all seems good. The material feel similar to tent polyester/nylon and can flex and wrinkly as necessary. I hope the patch holds over time. All in all its a good cheap repair but may not offer the most aesthetically pleasing option.

Got caught up in the middle of a rainstorm and this saved me

EDIT: Just realized mine may have been tampered with. Only had 3 pieces of tape. Still doesn't make sense, and still doesn't explain all the positive reviews for something that clearly doesn't work at all.Tried to use it on a Nightcat Pop-up Tent (that isn't even waterproof anymore even after spraying with half a can of Atsko waterproofing spray).Tape doesn't stick at all. It sticks so weakly that it peels and blows off when the wind blows.I tried to warm it up by using my hands on both sides and rubbing it in while applying pressure and it sticks slightly better, but not enough to actually stick. I also tried taping from both sides, which helps a little bit, but still doesn't stick.I'll try to file a return later and finalize this review if anything changes.After I give it one last chance, and see if filling with silicone will help.
