Howdy

 

Anybody recommend a Portland Metro area shop for waterproof/breathable membrane repair?

 

Thanks

what jacket ... some brands and retailers have spectacular warranty service ... if its EB, OR, REI, MEC, etc ... youre in luck

 

if its a defect .. and if it isnt theyll still cover it, you just have to live with the moral bashing youll get online and your own conscience

Rab... I talked to them, and they said I'd need to ship it to their authorized repair shop in Seattle. I just don't want to ship it... would rather walk in some place, have 'em weld a patch on, and walk right back out

is the membrane coming apart, or is it just a tear ... if the former send it to rab ...

This is what I've done in the past, but they don't last very long before the shell layer peels off the membrane.. Just want a good permanent fix for these brand spanking new pants

 

eta - plus, the rip is right next to a seam, and the patches seem to peel off even faster, on seams and folds and things
