Stuff We Like: NoSo Patches

You’re hiking and your jacket gets snagged on a branch and rips. How can you fix it while on the trail?

Simply slap a NoSo patch ($10-$20, nosopatches.com) over the hole. Peel and stick these lightweight, durable patches to prolong the life of your clothing. Most attach to nylon and polyester fabrics, but NoSo also carries patches designed to cover denim, fleece and merino wool.

The patches are waterproof, machine-washable and weather-resistant. Most can cover a 2-by-2-inch hole, though some designs are bigger.

You can also find NoSo patches at the Scout Shop. They come in cute and cool designs, featuring animals, national parks, food and artistic patterns. My favorites are the Smokey Bear patches.
