Sharp edges may puncture DCF, so try to avoid sharp rocks, thorny vegetation and pointy objects. Sparks flying from wood fire can also burn holes in DCF.

However, repairing a cut or puncture is super easy on the fly by simply gluing a patch over the affected area. Patches come ready to use; just peel and apply. Round patches should be used as is, while strip-patches can be cut to size.

Repair patches come in three Dyneema® fabric thicknesses: DCF_0.5oz, DCF_1.0oz, and DCF_1.4oz. (Not sure what these are? Find our here.) All three are entirely interchangeable, so you can use either one to patch any DCF product with identical results. No need to get separate kits. However, there are subtle color and texture variations. So for purely cosmetic purposes (i.e. patch will be less noticeable), you might as well grab a kit that matches the parent material of the majority of your DCF gear.

NOTE: If you get a large cut or hole that cannot be easily patched over, please contact us, and we will be happy to make repair arrangements on a case-by-case basis.
