Patching pertex

[GalaxyRider]

So, I have a Buffalo Artic Parka, and being a complete pillock I have managed to tear an L shaped rip, each arm about 1" long. It is made of Pertex, and so is very fine material. Any brilliant ideas on how to patch it? I tried an iron on web material, kind of from the inside if you can imagine it. Unfortunately, it did not hold that well and has come away quite quickly.

Any ideas?

I have used Gortex repair patch that you iron on for repairing gortex also used it to many other types of material like a hole in a pair of trs that were not made of gortex, i got the repair tape when i was in the army as i was the equipment repairer, i have seen it for sale on that auction site hope this helps.

I have the Buffalo Special 6 which had a tear across the yolk due to a run in with some barbed wire.

I managed to source some new Pertex and had a new piece sewn in. From what I was told it stitches quite well.
