Where can I my Gore Tex fixed

[Roving Rich]

Hi Folks,
The Zip has given up on me gortex, and it has a couple of small tears in it.
Anyone know a good repairer i can send it to ?
Little else wrong with it and I can't stretch to the £200 for a new one .
Cheers guys

PJ is passing on some good stuff in the classifieds

 

[Roving Rich]

Its made by Sprayway or is it sparayaway no i'm sure its sprayway.
PJs stuff in the classifieds is all blue. Patanagonia kit is well renowned though.

I dont know what sprayways coustomer service is like but you could try sending it back to them to repair

 

[Tony]

It's hard stuff to repair

 

[Stuart]

some of the militry repair kits (aka housewife kit) come with Gortex patches and glue

the zip is more tricky though, the zip could be replaced by anyone handy with a sewing machine but it would also need to be taped if the sewing passes to the outside of the jacket

Yeh the local Tailors are pretty good, but its just a different ballgame to what they are used to. Just thought somebody might know someone handy at this sort of thing. Sprayway it is then.
Thanks

Hi,

How old is the jacket?

[Roving Rich]

Erm, it is getting on.... They are certainly not obliged to fix it or anything.
Its a good jacket, the kind you zip a fleece into as a lining. Kinda mountaineering layer system stuff. I bought it nearly 10 years ago and mollycoddled it for at least 5 before it really started to get used. Did me proud in Canada at -30

[Roving Rich]

Well, Prompt reply from Sprayway. They have pointed me to TUNDRA in Tyne and Wear. So i've emailed them....

Can highly recommend TUNDRA, they fix all the kit for Berghaus, did a great job on my bergens and at a good price.

The gore tex jackets are normally stitched together in panels, and the manufacturer will replace the entire panel. [My north face mountain jacket get ripped a few years ago on a ski-ing trip, cost £25 to repair.]
But after much fishing around, I found a good place, [Who've just repaired a rip on the sleeve of my goose down jacket.]
I know that a lot of the manufacturers send their damaged products [returned from cutomers] to this company.
