In all fairness the product is designed for neoprene repair - I used it for repairing an expensive pair of bicycling bibs that had two tears - I had read reviews and recommendations that this product was used for such, so I tried it. It kind of worked...after one use of the bibs, I saw that the patches I applied were starting to lift on the edges in different places...after washing the bibs, the patches lifted a little more. So, if I was to recommend for the repair of cycling shorts - I would not do so. Easy to use, good instructions which I followed exactly.

Worked like a charm to patch up a pair of black bike bibs that were only used a few times. I did use a little more heat, seems to be holding well. Blends in better than I thought, I used them on a group ride and no one noticed! You really have to look to see the patch. It has a very slight satin sheen compared to bike short material, but this is made for wetsuits originally. Seems like someone would release a bike version with slightly more gloss, then would be perfect!!

Follow the instructions and make sure that you put enough heat/pressure on the patch so that it will bond and you’ll be surprised at how good it works and looks. Be carefully not to have the iron too hot or it will burn the suit.

Worked great. Saved a $150 pair of cycling shorts with this $13 kit., and have lots of materials left for more repairs. Had to play with the temperature of my iron a little before it worked.
