Admittedly, there is one <strong>downside<\/strong> that never seems to go away: What happens if a rock tears a hole in your jacket, you accidently burn a hole in it at the campfire or that devilish little dog of yours sinks its teeth into it when you\u2019re not looking? Well, one thing is certain: once a down jacket has a <strong>small hole<\/strong> or a tear in it, it can be <strong>hard to repair<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, have no fear: I\u2019ll let you in on a few secrets so that you won\u2019t have to throw away your precious down jacket!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DaunenjackeFlicken_09.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DaunenjackeFlicken_09.jpg\" alt=\"Wanderin mit Daunenjacke\" class=\"wp-image-55081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DaunenjackeFlicken_09.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DaunenjackeFlicken_09-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DaunenjackeFlicken_09-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Down jackets are versatile and offer the optimal balance of warmth and weight. \u00a9 Mathis Dumas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-winter-is-the-time-to-get-down\">Winter is the time to get down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever been lucky enough to feel the warmth of a down jacket, you\u2019ll know how hard it is to go without. Plus, it\u2019s literally as light as a feather! Once it\u2019s found a place in your wardrobe, it\u2019ll be as essential to everyday life as a proper British cuppa!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as surprising as it may sound, even <strong>down jackets have their fair share of enemies:<\/strong> things such as lighted cigarettes, flying embers from a campfire, thorny plants and particularly rough rock or sharp <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/crampons\/\">crampons<\/a>, to name a few. One wrong move and all of the sudden there\u2019s a huge gaping hole in your jacket. The perfect escape for the precious down! Now what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-repair-and-don-t-despair\">Repair and don\u2019t despair!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, the <strong>very thin outer material<\/strong> is usually made of <strong>very tough and tearproof Ripstop fabric<\/strong> \u2013 mostly polyamide \u2013 which can withstand more than you think. This is due to the special reinforcing technique used during weaving that serves to <strong>prevent a hole expanding<\/strong> after the material has been damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, it is important <strong>to repair even the smallest of snags<\/strong>, for only then can we protect the very sensitive down and stop warmth escaping the interior. After all, it would not only be a downright shame to throw the jacket away but also the last resort for all you environmentally-conscious outdoor enthusiasts out there! That\u2019s why we took it upon ourselves to put together a couple of options for you to breathe some more life into your jacket!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-manufacturer-s-repair-service\">Manufacturer\u2019s repair service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, it\u2019s always a good idea to contact the <strong>manufacturer of the jacket<\/strong>. Brands such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/brands\/mammut\/\">Mammut<\/a>, Yeti or Arc\u2019teryx offer <strong>professional repair services<\/strong> for damaged jackets. Unfortunately, these services can be <strong>costly<\/strong>, but depending on how expensive your jacket is, it may be something worth considering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-repair-services\">Other repair services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The second option: our customer service team recommends contacting a <strong>repairer of outdoor clothing<\/strong> for advice. The repairs will be carried out by a <strong>highly skilled and experienced team<\/strong> \u2013and all that <strong>at a fair price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-diy\">DIY<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Repairing-down-jackets-with-patches-for-bike-tubes.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Repairing-down-jackets-with-patches-for-bike-tubes-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Down jackets repaired with a patch for bike tubes\" class=\"wp-image-552\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Repairing down jackets with patches for bike tubes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>A third and less expensive option is to patch the hole yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very effective and easy: a quick repair using <strong>good ol\u2019 Duct Tape<\/strong>. Of course, it won\u2019t look good, but it\u2019ll hold! Truthfully, though, this method is only for emergencies. Once you put it on, it\u2019s really hard to take off! So, if you\u2019re considering having the jacket professionally repaired when you get back, I would recommend using tape sparingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another tip from a colleague of ours: patches for bike tubes (see picture on the right). They may not look the best, but they stick pretty well.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Daunenflicken-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56945\" width=\"349\" height=\"208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Daunenflicken-1.jpg 698w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Daunenflicken-1-300x179.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Self-adhesive patches such as the Tenacious from GearAid provide a quick remedy.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, there are also special <strong>patches made of polyamide<\/strong> (nylon) that come in a variety of colours. These are <strong>self-adhesive<\/strong> and thus <strong>very easy to use<\/strong>. A <strong> disadvantage<\/strong> to using these is that they don\u2019t stick particularly well, since most of the outer material used for down jackets is very smooth (think Pertex, Ripstop Nylon, Helium and Mountain Equipment\u2019s Drilite or Arc\u2019teryx\u2019s Colibri). So, the patch may <strong>come off<\/strong>. These patches are more suitable for rougher fabrics, such as those commonly used for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/hardshell-helmets\/\">hardshell<\/a> jackets. In sum, all three DIY options mentioned here are <strong>best for emergencies when you\u2019re out and about<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taping those little snags and holes caused by ice tools or crampons is great to temporarily keep the cold and moisture out of the interior of your down jacket, but it is <strong>by no means a permanent solution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, there are <strong>a lot of different ways<\/strong> to fix, if only temporarily, a torn down jacket. However, repairing the highly technical and thin outer shells of down jackets should be <strong>left to professionals<\/strong>. Even though <strong>DIY methods are temporary<\/strong>, they can come in really handy on the trails to prevent worse things happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a class=\"a-button a-button--green block\" title=\"Warm down jackets for winter adventures\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/down-jackets\/\">Find warm down jackets >><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The upsides to down jackets are manifold: down provides an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, it\u2019s fluffy and simultaneously compressible.
