    Help! My Snosuit ran into a Sunflower heater this weekend and lost. I burned a hole in the black material, right by the seat.

    Almost roasted some chestnuts by the open fire, if you know what I mean. Typical deal. The zipper of my portable was frozen. I bent over to free it up and wasn’t watching where the “south end” was leaning.

    Anybody have an idea on how or how or where I can get it repaired? It melted right down to the middle liner so I need to get it repaired before I go out again. Thanks

    In Eau Claire we have a few very good seamstress. Pay them – they get the material and sow in a nice patch.

    Crud. Sorry to hear it. I’ve witnessed some nasty muffler burns from augers with missing guards that left one heck of a mess.

    Honestly I would suggest calling Frabill for their suggestions regarding a fix as I’m sure they have amassed some experience working with customers in the same situation.

    Ouch! Sorry to hear that. Hope you are able to get it fixed.

    Thats why you will never see another sunflower in my house again. I bet 80% of the people out there have lost gear to a sunflower

    I torched the inside of my Snosuit last winter. Must have melted and sealed as LORD knows I didn’t sew it up. Still looks the same an none of the suits insulation has came out…….Just a little compact in that spot!!

    What’s a suit without a sunflower tatoo anyway?? Just equipment obviously not used much.
