Duct tape
Also: duct tape, Gorilla Tape
Duct tape is the classic emergency fix: it holds surprisingly well but leaves stubborn residue.
Anfibio names standard duct tape (e.g. Tesa ISOfix) as an emergency solution, with the downside of hard-to-remove residue. Luc Mehl considers ordinary duct tape far less useful than Gorilla Tape in cold and wet conditions. Duct tape sticks better to uncoated fabric.
Tip: a few metres of Gorilla Tape wrapped around a water bottle or a paddle section save space.
