Drysuit Repair Kit by GearAid
Gear Aid River & Sea Repair Kit: The Save-A-Dive Essential
A torn seal or a punctured drysuit can end your day before it even begins. The Gear Aid River & Sea Repair Kit ensures you have the tools to fix those inevitable equipment failures right at the water's edge. Packed inside a compact, reusable tin, this kit contains the exact same professional-grade adhesives and patches used by repair shops, scaled down for portability. It fits easily in your dry bag, glove box, or tackle box so you are always ready when unexpected damage happens.
Permanent Waterproof Repairs
The core of this kit is a tube of Aquaseal + FD Adhesive. This clear, thermoset urethane creates a permanent, waterproof bond that flexes with your gear. It works perfectly on neoprene, rubber, nylon, canvas, and vinyl. Whether you are patching a GORE-TEX drysuit, fixing waders, or sealing a hole in an inflatable, this adhesive cures to a tough rubber seal that withstands the elements.
Instant Fixes with Tenacious Tape
Sometimes you need a repair that is ready immediately. The kit includes four Tenacious Tape Repair Patches (two black, two clear). These feature a unique hexagonal shape. The six-sided design eliminates sharp corners, which are usually the first part of a patch to peel up. You can use them alone for a quick field fix or apply them over the adhesive for a reinforced, heavy-duty repair.
Everything You Need
Gear Aid includes the necessary prep materials to ensure your patch sticks. You get alcohol wipes to clean the repair area and a reusable applicator to spread the adhesive smoothly. The included guide walks you through the process, making it simple to perform lasting repairs even if you have never patched a suit before.
Temperature Resilient
Your gear faces extreme conditions, and your repair materials should too. Once cured, the adhesive handles temperatures ranging from -20°F to 180°F (-29°C to 82°C). It remains flexible and secure whether you are ice diving in freezing water or storing your gear in a hot car.
Keep your gear watertight and your adventure on track. Add the Gear Aid River & Sea Repair Kit to your equipment bag today!
