Review: Works well and easy to use - The girth of my thighs always causes the inseams near the crotch of my pants to wear out before any other wear begins to show. When this area of my neoprene workout pants started to wear thin and make it too embarrassing for me to do floor work when anyone else was around to see my pasty skin or underpants through the ever-widening thin spots, I finally got this patch kit and fixed my pants. It took a little creative maneuvering to get the most out of this patch and get sufficient coverage over the worn spots on account of the contours of the crotchular region I was needing to patch. Here's how I did it: 1. Assess the damage 2. Create a paper template that sufficiently covers the area to be patched 3. Cut pieces from patch material. I used 2 patches for the worn spots in the crotch on both sides (inside & outside) on both the front and back of the pants then used another little piece to cover a small rip on the waistband (not shown here) 4. I don't have a tailor's ham or a mini iron, so I used a piece of scrap fabric and glass-head pins over an old oven mitt to use my own hand to manipulate and hold the material while pressing small areas of the patch with the tip of my large iron 5. Position patch and use glass-head pins on seams to hold in place while ironing 6. Spot iron patch a little bit at a time, covering less contoured areas first then spot iron areas on either side of a pucker (being mindful not to iron a pucker or fold into the pants) 7. Carefully use scissors to snip the patch over the places where the pants are puckering (sorry for the blurry image - it was difficult to hold both the pants and scissors while taking a picture) 8. Spot iron both sides of the snip on either side of the pucker I did this in on both sides of the pants (inside and out) on the worn spots on both the front and back of the pants. It was probably overkill, but I had enough of the patch material for this amount of coverage and I didn't want to risk further wear on either side. The patches held up so well, they outlasted the whole rest of the pants. I would totally use this product in the future if/when I ever again have worn or torn neoprene to fix. Review: Works for ripped cycle shorts - I used the McNett Iron Mend to repair my favorite compression fitting cycle shorts, which got ripped in a dustup I had with a car. The product is tremendous for this, and I stumbled upon it after reading another cyclist's review for patching his/her shorts. I'm a recent cyclist convert. I had to stop running daily because my now 55-year-old knees just gave out while training for yet another marathon. And early into my cycling career, while finishing up a 78-mile ride in extreme central California heat, I nearly got run over about a mile from my house. A woman in a minivan nearly took me out. I crashed into oncoming traffic and ripped up my brand new bike shorts, with bibs. They're expensive. I also cut the crap out of myself. The wounds healed. I'm still nervous at that left-turn lane. The woman didn't stop. It was rush hour. Some young guy in a four by four made sure I was OK. The bike was fine. But my bibs had this big flap torn in them. They were still wearable but looked rather silly, showing a big patch of my lilly white skin contrasted with tan lower legs. And heaven forbid I forget to put sun screen on that patch or I'd get a burnt triangle on my upper thigh. OK, so there's the dumb story. The repair kit is advertised for repairing neoprene. I'm sure it does that, but stretchy Lycra was my rended fabric. I paid the nominal fee and ironed on a patch. It looks like the iron-on patches I used to use on my jeans back in school. But whatever. Worked for me. I love the stuff. Saves me having to spend serious bucks to replace a perfectly good pair of shorts. ## Features - Fix tears permanently in neoprene wetsuits in minutes with just a household iron and our heat-activated patch - Cut the black, 10”x6” fabric patch to size and repair ripped or torn gear including waders, drysuits, booties and gloves - Reinforce elbows, knees and high-wear areas that require lots of flexibility and durability; also resists abrasions - Extend suit/gear life with a patch kit specifically designed for neoprene and other stretch fabrics such as spandex and Lycra - Packaging may vary ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000GT471S | | Adhesive Format | Pad | | Adhesive Location | Single Sided | | Adhesive Side Count | 1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #18,656 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #26 in Outdoor Gear Repair Equipment | | Brand | GEAR AID | | Brand Name | GEAR AID | | Color | Black | | Compatible Material | Neoprene | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 1,156 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00021563161106 | | Included Components | GEAR AID Wetsuit Repair Kit with Neoprene Patch, Fix Seams and Tears | | Item Resistance | Abrasion Resistant, Flexible | | Item Type Name | Neoprene Patch | | Item Weight | 1.44 ounces | | Manufacturer | GEAR AID | | Material | Blend | | Material Type | Blend | | Model | 16110 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 16110 | | Size | Neoprene Patch, 1 Pack | | Size Name | Neoprene Patch, 1 Pack | | UPC | 021563161106 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** GEAR AID - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Blend - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Size:** Neoprene Patch, 1 Pack ## Images ![GEAR AID Wetsuit Repair Kit with Neoprene Patch, Fix Seams and Tears, Black, 6” x 10" - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91cuL2qsTML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I tend to get holes around the chamois on my biking bibs, anyone ever use it around the chamois pad to patch a hole?** A: Hello, Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, we have not used this product on anything other than scuba gear. As this product comes with a neoprene patch it would be my best guess that it works best on products that are the same material. However, the product states that it can be used on dry suits and fishing waders as well. Leading me to believe that this product is very heavy duty and might work for your needs. Please let us know how we may further assist you.Thank you,Gracehouseofscuba(858)581-2800 **Q: is the patch waterproof** A: Yes. I have patched several bike shorts with this stuff and it lasts through many washings. I do not send my bike gear through the dryer so I can not comment on if it is heat proof--I bet that it is not heat proof. **Q: Any thoughts on using this on stretch denim? Regular iron on patches do not come in a stretch version.** A: Hello,I used this to mend biking shorts ..but some extra pieces worked great on my cotton cargo shorts that had a rip in the crotch..so , i think it would work on stretch denim..this patch isn't a typical hobby fabric store patch ...really good quality, made to hold up aftter washings ..hope that helps . **Q: How large is the patch?** A: Includes: 10"x6" Knee-Pad-Patch ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well and easy to use *by P***E on May 13, 2023* The girth of my thighs always causes the inseams near the crotch of my pants to wear out before any other wear begins to show.

My recommendation is to fold the material and/or surround the patch area with other fabric to iron directly on the wetsuit as little as possible. Then I emptied the iron of water (I read on the instructions steam is bad). Then turned the iron up! I was up toward 5/6 by the time the patch actually stuck. I gave this 4 stars because I used my wetsuit 2 days later and the patch stayed on. The corners of the patch did come up a bit. Since then I put some cement on them though, and they've been fine. I'd recommend putting some cement or one of the other wetsuit repair products along the edge of the patch if possible. ## Frequently Bought Together - GEAR AID Wetsuit Repair Kit with Neoprene Patch, Fix Seams and Tears , Black , 6” x 10" - GEAR AID Aquaseal NEO Contact Cement for Neoprene and Wetsuit Repair - GEAR AID Aquaseal FD Flexible Durable Repair Adhesive for Fixing Tears and Holes in Waders, Wetsuits, PVC Inflatables, Vinyl and Outdoor Gear, Dries Clear --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4430017-gear-aid-wetsuit-repair-kit-with-neoprene-patch-fix-seams](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4430017-gear-aid-wetsuit-repair-kit-with-neoprene-patch-fix-seams) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
