How to Fix a Burn in a Ski Race Suit

A ski race suit is usually necessary when you are competing in many different types of outdoor winter sports and activities. These suits are typically made of a nylon material, which is a lightweight, synthetic fabric that resists water and keeps you nice and warm. If you happen to get a burn mark in your nylon ski race suit from a cigarette or while warming yourself by the fire, you can fix it with a nylon repair kit.
