North Face replacement fly sheets

[FKeate]

The fly sheet for my poor old north face tadpole 23 has finally given up on the idea of being waterproof. Just wondering if anyone has any experience getting a replacement fly from the north face? Or if there are any reliable ways to reproof it myself? (I've seen some waterproofing sprays but they've all had mixed reviews)

Cheers,
Fred.

Have you tried contacting North face?
When a mate ran over my 10 year old vango, i emailed them and they actually offered a new fly (pretty cheap too).

I phoned them the other day and they said to bring it in to the shop but no mention of how much it would cost. I've had s look online and their warranty serviceman such mixed reviews it's impossible to tell.Oh well, I guess I'll just ha e to go in and see for myself.

If you're popping into Tiso with your shoes for a resole then they should be able to deal with TNF for you. Have gotten flies for folks before for TNF and it depends on the model, age and updates as to availability and price. Tiso also deal with Tent Repair Service in Mussellborough and they're about the best tent fixers about.

Great, looks like they'll be my one stop shop. Better get saving, planning on doing the west Highlands way and Ben Nevis as soon as possible (preferably before winter kicks in!)
