Repairing waterproof lining in Revit trousers?

[TheDemonLord]

Hi All,

All my trousers get crotch holes - I am convinced this is because of my rather large testicles.

The downside is that when the trousers with the holes in is the waterproof lining in my bike trousers, my boxers get wet when I ride to work in the rain which is no fun.

current plan to repair the lining is in true redneck fashion, to Duct Tape up the the holes and double side the tape so that its not sticky.

Has anyone got either:

a: a better way to do this or
b: tips on how to initiate duct tape repairs?

Get some other material that is vulcanised (like an old raincoat or the hood of a raincoat you don't use, I hâve bought cheap wet gear from the warehouse before to do this) and cut out the shape you need.
Contact adhesive to the two vulcanised sides, wait till tacky then press out all the air bubbles.
Spray on works better.

Get it right and it still looks factory on the outside.

If the outer shell is compromised as well you will need to stitch it up.
If this is not possible because your malformed and swollen testis hang out through the hole I'd suggest a cod piece. Lol.
Or to look natural get a leather seat sown in and treat the leather.
I have some old pants you could recycle the leather seat out of.

Or overtrousers would work well. Cheap ones work much better than the cheap jackets for some reason (I'm guessing lack of zips to half arse seal)

Oh aye, the over trousers are always a better solution, but he did ask how to patch his existing pants.

Rumour has it that they're added braces to said Adult Sponge Pants for that 'Touring' look.

From past experience I can say that duct tape repairs tend not to be waterproof either.

I'm trying this stuff on my rain pants at the moment:

There were a couple of places where the seams had obviously come away, I've coated them in this stuff and that seems to have stopped the worst of it, YMMV. I wear a pair of '100% waterproof' rev'it overpants underneath these in the rain though, so there's two layers for the water to get through.

Aquaseal is brilliant stuff. I have used it on a few wetsuits (where waterproofing is not an issue but stretch is) and a drysuit (where waterproofing is.... .....well you get the idea) for my scuba activities. The secret is a clean surface to apply it too and allowing a decent curing time. Neoprene in a tube.

Come to think I it I probably have a piece or two you can have out in the shed if you can pick up from Tuakau or mt Eden.
