Had a short conversation with my climbing partner this morning and it appears that his Goretex Flo bivy (a Terra Nova Discovery) has a large rip in it starting along a seam then into the fabric from one side to the other. He went out last night and person he was with appears to have had a half awake half asleep panic attack in the bivi during the night and ripped there way out of it. Well, thats my understanding at the moment anyway due to see him next week for the full horror!

Anyone have any idea if its likely to be repairable even if only for light use and if so how? tape? Its fairly old and only used as a back-up hence the lending it out but its been useful in the past.

Re-sew the seam, and then apply seam seal tape.  The torn fabric can be repaired quite well with seam seal tape, too.
