I have had the Mont-Bell thermawrap jacket and am loving it...however, "note to self" don't wear these jackets where sparks from fire might get on it! I had a small spark land on my shoulder and it burned a small hole in the fabric about 1/4 inch around...leaving a small white gaping hole revealing the white insulation. (the insulation is actually kind of unique looking for being synthetic) I am wondering what would be the best way and unsightly way to fix this. Here is what I have done so fare. I cut a small patch off of the stuff sack that came with it (its the exact same fabric). I then took this patch and with tweezers, slide it in underneath the shell of the jacket to cover the hole from the underside...and it actually looks hardly noticable now. Now I just need a good way of securing it. I have thought about some sort of glue...maybe contact cement of some sort but I am not sure what type of glue would be best on this nylon. Any ideas would be welcome. I have thought about sewing but it just seems way to intricate.
