Spinnaker tape should do a reasonable job.

If you can get a piece of the fabric, I'd suggest glueing a patch on the inside using Seamseal or similar.

Tenacious tape would also do it, but that would only be a semi-permanent solution as it would come off in the wash eventually.

I have some black/grey goretex tape (iron-on) which you are welcome to a piece of, but it may be a bit fiddly ironing on to such thin fabric, plus it is a lot thicker than the Haglofs Performac fabric so may look a bit odd.

Great stuff you have just given me an idea Llywelyn Gore tape now if i can only find mine from years ago i think i might just give that a shot.

Not too bothered about slight colour change as its better than my red micro fleece that you can clearly see through it over the weekend.

If i cannot find mine could i possibly purchase a bit off yourself?

Thanks for the idea

Just checked and my tape is black on the upper, but light grey on the adhesive side.

If you can't find your's just pm me your address and I'll send you some.  I've not got a great deal of it, but can spare enough to give you a couple of attempts (in case the first goes awry).
