Description
xVersatile, simple repair for gear and fabrics
TEAR-AID Type A Fabric Repair Patch is crafted from a tough, matte-elastomer with a decisive adhesive blend. It delivers a straightforward way to patch holes and tears while adding a protective film that stays flexible under stress. The patch expands to absorb force on impact and then returns to its original shape, helping repairs move with the surface rather than against it. A see-through patch design means it can work with a range of colors and textures without drawing attention.
Why this patch stands out
Designed for adaptability, the Type A patch conforms to irregular surfaces and resists discoloration from heat and UV exposure. Its durability comes from a combination of abrasion resistance and a strong bond that remains reliable even when the material stretches. The result is a repair that can feel natural to the touch and visually discreet, allowing the repaired area to retain its original look and function.
