A few days ago I brought a pair of Pearl Izumi triathalon knink to use in my Oxfam cycling challenge but unfortunately I discover there is a 3 mm hole in it and the shop won't let me return it. So I am now stuck with a pair of knick that I need to somehow filled the hole without damaging it further. Can someone please give me some suggestion on what I can do. I am thinking of taking it to a alterator and get it fix, but don't know if this will permament fix it or will this just be a temporary solution.

An alternative is to use an iron on patch but I don't like that idea of heat on lycra. __________________ Morphed Bianchi Camaleonte IV 2006, Ridley Damocles 2006, Garmin, Mac

Wait -- do you think the hole was there when you bought them or did you wear them and fall? Is the hole next to a seam? If you haven't worn them, the shop should absolutely make an exchange. If they refuse, I would email Pearl Izumi and explain the situation. If you wore them and a hole just "developed" I would also email PI as their products should wear better.
