Our Verdict

One repair tape does the lot! We were alerted to Gear Aid’s Tenacious Tape by one of our customers who saw it used to repair a waterproof jacket – fast simple and effective. The same tape could be used to repair sleeping mats and tents – if you only want to take one repair item this could be a good choice.
