For a quick patch on the fly, apply some Tenacious Tape. Never pull the feathers out—always push the feathers back in. Pulling the feathers out will pull more feathers out. If you are looking for a long-term solution, you will most likely need a baffle repair. While a baffle repair is challenging, it can bring new life to your jacket.

If you see a feather poking through never pull it out, but pushing it in wount work sometimes either. What i do is try to grab the feathers from the other side of the jacket and pull them back inside. From the other side of the jacket pinch where the feather is popping through, then on the side of the hole grab some fabric next to the protruding feather and pull away from the pinch your pinching hand should grab the feather and pull it back inside while you pull fabric back out. Then you can stretch the fabric near the hole to get it to close again.

"I used Stormsure TUFF Tape on a ripped waterproof jacket. It is clear, self adhesive, and a little bit stretchy too, which is great for the ripped elbow. Each time I bend my arm it puts extra strain on other tape (which I tried unsuccessfully earlier) but TUFF tape has that extra bit of stretch. It has been through the washing machine 3 or 4 times and is still in great shape keeping out the rain. I ordered it online and it came in the mail real quickly.

I bought from Stormsure TUFF Tape"

What about a dab of crazy glue?

"Hi @ apagtama,

If it hasn’t been damaged by you e.g ripped, torn etc and you think that it may be a manufacturing defect, contact Patagonia in your location, regarding their Ironclad guarantee"

For very small holes that are leaking feathers I use clear nail polish to cover the hole. Works great.
