BD Creek Bag Repair

I have a Black Diamond Creek pack that is about 1 year old and the material is already wearing thin in spots from heavy use.  I’m on a limited budget to be buying new gear.   Has anyone had success with patches or another repair method?  I would imagine it would be a similar repair as a haul bag.  Looking for something other than duct tape.  

Through user error, I put some holes in a metolius haul bag.  I was able to get ahold of some of their durathane material for patches.  I used PVC cement to bond the patches on, then put a little line of gutter sealant called GS121 around the edges so there isnt an edge to get snagged as I drag it up a face.

Worked great!  I've hauled slab since the patch job and everything is holding up great.

Shoe goo had been holding my pack together for years!

How did you get the material?

Good recommendation.   Didn’t think of that.

I emailed metolius and they shipped it to me for free!  I guess you'll have to improvise something else though.

You can get fabric samples from Ripstop by the Roll. They come in ~3" circles, probably big enough for patches.

The sample idea is great, but that Ripstop by the Roll only sells thin stuff which isn't durable enough for this application.  I would recommend getting a sample of this stuff:

Kyle over at high mountain gear repair could probably fix it for you.
