Striker Lite Bib Repair

[TruthWalleyes]

I have a 1.5" slit in the leg of my bibs. Its a clean cut - i walked into my auger blades the first day i had them but didn't find the cut until a week later. Anyway...

Is there a repair kit available? Or other suggestions to repair?

Thank you

Tear mender is a fabiric addhesive that works great I have used it on a bunch of differnt fabrics or shoe goo would be another great product that works on water resistant types of fabric

Bring them back and say they came like that.

I would also suggest Tear Mender. It works great.

I won't be doing that. I've got morals and i take responsibility for my actions..

I called Redrockstore where i purchased them. They gave me the number of the designer of the striker suits. I'll be giving him a call later today to seek his advice.

I tested the material to see how easily it will tear after a cut has been made, and they don't rip easily which i a good thing. I'll post the designers response at a later date.

Find a local seamstress or person with a sewing machine might not look factory but it will be functional

I always keep an old spool of Spiderwire fishing line in the garage with a few sewing needles along with a tube of Aquaseal. Sew it up and smear it with the sealant and you will be good to go. It may not look like new, but I'm not putting on a fashion show when I'm fishing or hunting.

This is exactly why I get so mad when the people I'm fishing with don't put the cover on their augers when they aren't using them. It's only a matter of time before someone cuts open their nice clothing, or worse...

Who's to say that rip wasn't already there? Maybe their new suits are so awesome the auger blade didn't even phase them? I mean you didn't even find the tear for a week later.

I used a product found called Tear-Aid. Bought it at Wal-mart or Target. Patches are clear and has lasted for two years now without issues.

He says he did it, why keep going down that path?

Ok, Now i haven't called the designer yet, but what i found today was a little disappointing. The inside of the bibs, in the crotch seam - tore open. I've had these bibs on maybe 8 times, and am careful when putting them on over my boots. But the tear in the seam is disappointing and is not caused from any excessive force on my part. I think i gave positive reviews on Striker a bit too soon.
