[GEAR] [ADVICE] Best way to repair hole in nylon/down jacket?

I have a nylon, down-filled jacket that got a 1/3 inch hole burned into information technology, probably by some random campfire spark. The fill is starting to come out of information technology a lilliputian. I know there are different brands of nylon record, but wanted to see if anyone here has experience or communication for making this blazon of repair. What's the all-time tape make? Are in that location other repair options y'all might recommend?

Tin confirm that Tenacious Record is the best. People bring this kind of repair into my shop all the time, and we usually just send them off with a gyre of TT. I've tried other brands, this is the best and easiest to apply.

sandwich two pieces together and heat with a blow dryer the glue will bond with the other piece of tape, giving yous a solid patch. This also works for duct tape.
