Therm-a-Rest Permanent Home Repair Kit review

Therm-a-Rest sells two repair kits, and the Permanent Home Repair Kit is the one it calls its most durable option. It pairs a wet adhesive with fabric patches and, according to Cascade Designs, makes strong and long-lasting puncture repairs on Therm-a-Rest pads, with the company calling it the best choice for larger tears. The tradeoff is time: the adhesive needs 8 to 12 hours to cure, so this is a kit for the kitchen table rather than the trail. It is compatible with every Therm-a-Rest sleeping pad, and at $19.95 it costs $7 more than the brand's peel-and-stick Instant Field Repair Kit ($12.95), which excludes knit-fabric pads such as the MondoKing. Because the adhesive is classed as hazardous, it cannot ship to P.O. boxes, Alaska, Hawaii or US territories. For a vinyl guest airbed, a vinyl-specific patch is the better buy.
