I managed to drop my bike braking on a hatched crossing and I've now got a hole in one of my muffs which lets the wind through. Thumbs Down

I initially used duct tape, but it's not wanting to stick at all well to the outside of the muff.

Anyone got any ideas as to how to bodge it so the wind can't get through?

Stick some bin bags over them. Not like it's going to make them look much worse is it.

That, but stitch something over it rather than pinching the gash shut.

Turn it inside-out and stitch a patch over it, or use some of that magic Iron-On Repair Powder - Asda, Wilko and Tesco sell it.
It's strong and lasts ages Smile

If they are neoprene, Black Witch is the adhesive of choice.
