Repair thread (bonded nylon/polyester)

Repair

Heavy bonded thread that outlasts the fabric it repairs — the MYOG standard.

Approx. cost: $3–$10
Weight: bobbin ~0.5 oz
Used in: 1 kit

Purpose

Field- and home-repair stitching for packs, tents, and clothing; doubles as light cordage.

Used in kits

MYOG Field Repair Kit
MYOG

Alternatives

Dental floss— The classic improvised heavy thread.
Kevlar thread— Overkill strength for high-wear repairs.

Maintenance notes

UV degrades nylon — store dark; wind a field bobbin from the main spool.

Buying considerations

Tex 70 bonded nylon is the MYOG community default: strong, sews by hand or machine.
