Week 12 Shop Vlog - Gore-TEX Jacket Repair

This week I repair my 10year hold Arc'Teryx Jacket. The hem finally fell out and the drawstring was dangling so I sew the hem back together. Let me know in the comments how much you hate it!

For how much I invested on Arcteryx gear, I’m pretty disappointed on all the taped seam. So far, I have a failed Alpha FL taped seam. Glued seam failed on LEaf Courier 15 bag. Gen 1 Cerium has leaky baffles, a second last year model Cerium had one sleeve baffle completely sans any down….

Oh that's such a bummer. I feel ya, trying to get something that will last and it starts to come apart, so frustrating. Did you try and repair it?

@@KolbWorkshop a couple items were new enough they either gave me a replacement or a full credit. My older Alpha LT, I attempted to reglue the tape with seam grip since Arc mostly likely would give me a third of what I paid…. but glue doesn’t stick to the fabric too well. I ended up using a low heat setting iron and went over the seams and that works okay
