frown I'm blue because I have six little cuts on the shoulder of my $100 Helly Hansen raincoat and actually they do not show up unless I pick the coat up. I need to apply a seam suture like closing a cut. The material is a polyurthane/polyester. Feels like a microfiber it is so light.
I have talked with Helly Hansens and got absolutely nowhere.
I'd appreciate some ideas for some kind of adhesive ideas... what

Is this a regular style of HH?Like a deckhand would wear? confused Your description makes it sound like it could be something else.

It is not I think what they call their PVC and I understand that they don't even have a repair kit for those.
So much of the fishing gear is heavy and this
is what the wife would like who hates fishing.
I have not found a replacement and very disappointed that they haven't continued this
material.
I bought this in what was one of Anchorages's top sport stores which has since gone out of business after many years.

PoshII, please tell me you didn't carry a set of downhill skis on your shoulder while wearing the nice raincoat! eek

Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything..... beathead

Is this one made of the stretchy stuff? I'm assuming it's lined? If it's not can you patch it from the inside?

I would try puting duck tape on the outside to hold the "cuts" in place and then use some aqua seal on the inside.When done remove the duct tape.You could also sew it up and then aqua seal it.?just some ideas.

How about a rubber raft patch kit?? It might work depending on the fabric.

I appreciate this info. I haven't tried anything yet but I will soon. I'm kind of chicken.
Helly is opening an outlet south of Portland..
Never use outlets much but I might check this
one out.

Try some seam tape with Aqual Seal.
I did this with my Dry Suit and I have not had any leaks , even at 4ATMs .
