I have one of these jackets and I love it, except it has a couple tiny holes in it from being hit by sparks (I assume that's what it is, I got it used) The holes are maybe 2mm across max, but they do let down out slowly. Just wondering what is the best way to fix them? I have heard nail polish, but does that really work? Thanks

I had the same problem and went to the mountaineering shop. They recommended Seam Grip and it works great! It stays flexible so it won't create holes at the edges of the patched area. It's thicker than seam sealer so it's easier to apply.

wow, that is tricky. Stitch it and seam seal it? Or try to just seam seal it? Or find a very lightweight patch and seam seal it to it? The trick would be to avoid making more holes in the material but sealing the down in, which is notoriously full of wanderlust. Any additional needle holes my create more outlets, which is where the seam sealer comes in...

Throw some duct tape over it and you'll be fine.
