FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PVC waterproof?

Yes — PVC patches are fully waterproof and wipe clean, which is why they're popular for outdoor and tactical gear.

What's the difference between 2D and 3D PVC?

Do PVC patches crack or fade over time?

Our PVC compound resists cracking and fading under normal outdoor use, though extreme heat or long-term sun exposure can affect any rubber product.

Can PVC patches be any shape?

Yes — since they're molded rather than stitched, PVC patches can follow almost any custom outline.
