Melted Vexilar bibs

[mike morris]

Being unfamiliar with a friend's auger, I went ahead and augered a half-a-dozen holes with his auger backwards. Well, when I was finished augering, I smelled something burning/melting, so I looked down, and noticed the exhaust melted several holes in my brand new Vexilar bibs!

Do they, or anyone in that matter, offer a patch that will cover up this ugly mess?

Kenyon K+Tape is a good product.

I feel your pain. Borrowed a friends auger and he told me he had it rigged so that you had to lean on it. What he meant was that it was a piece of sh$$ and the blades were as dull as could be. In any event I leaned into it like he suggested with my brand new arctic armor jacket. I felt the heat from the exhaust just after it burned a quarter size hole all the way through the jacket.

I contacted arctic armor and they are sending me a patch for free. I would try the same thing with vexlar but chances are their bibs are outsourced. Still worth a shot.

Ya get a hold of them and see if they will send out some patches. Like muskielaw said its worth a shot. Otherwise those wader repair kits that you can get anywhere work too.

I borrowed my ice armor bibs out and when I got them back they had a nice melted spot from a heater. Man I was heated, but that is just the way it goes sometimes.

I melted a hole in the knee of my bibs as well, went to a place called S.R Harris Material supply in B/park down from F/Farm. They have a ton of water proof material just like whats on the Ice Armor suits and a ton of Camo. Now I just have to find time to stay out of them long enough for my wife to put some patches on the knees!

Reminds me of when I was a welder. Be welding a nice little bead and smell something burning- either shirt or pants.

Kind of off topic but does anyone know if you call clam will they sell you just the extreme ice armor bibs cause I just have the coat (on clearance returned without bibs). Just wondering if anyone has done this and what the outcome was.

I burned a hole in my 4-1 Columbia Waterfowl jacket with my auger. Took it to Cabelas and they replaced it no questions asked. I couldn't believe it. All I was asking for is company contact information so that I could order a new outer jacket to go with the liner. It was no ones fault but mine. Talk about customer service!!
