Exped Field Repair Kit review

Exped built this kit around the method its own repair shop uses. Instead of a solvent glue that needs hours, it uses UV-curing adhesive and a small keychain UV light, and Exped says the glue dries in 30 seconds under the light. You clean the area with one of the six alcohol swabs, dab glue on the puncture, cure it, then add one of the five clear TPU patches for a smoother finish and some abrasion resistance. Everything fits in a zippered pouch that weighs 1.2 ounces. It suits camping mats and air mattresses with TPU or nylon surfaces, and it is the right kit if you need the bed back in use quickly. At $34.95 it costs more than triple most patch kits on this list, and Exped frames it for small punctures and tears rather than large splits.
