How to repair a hole in your snow pants with repair patches
Skiing and boarding can be really tough on snow pants. As such, we designed them to be easily repaired at home if you rip, tear, or get a scuff or cut in them.

What you need
- Repair patch
- Scissors
- Cleaning cloth
- Tumble dryer
What to do
- Lie the pants on a table with the hole facing upwards and the fabric flat but not stretched
- Using the scissors, remove any loose, dangling, or frayed threads and edges, being careful not to make the hole bigger
- Clean the area with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or contaminants to ensure good adhesion from the patch
- Once it’s completely dry, remove the non-stick backing from the patch, and place it centred over the hole
- Apply pressure from the middle outwards until fully adhered
- Tumble dry on low heat for 10 minutes
- Remove the pants from the dryer and lay flat once more. With your fingers or the heel of your hand, rub the patch in a circular motion for 30 seconds with moderate pressure to completely activate the glue and ensure permanent adhesion
- You’re now ready to ride once more with a completely waterproof repair
