Q:
I purchased a new 2 piece solid rain suit from Dick's Sporting goods (http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3676722) for use in the Algonquin forest in Canada this fall. Well, a buddy that I was with had cheap rain gear, was wet and freezing, so I let him wear mine. Well, long story short, I now have two small holes from ashes landing on him. I want to know the best way to repair the damage and keep the weatherproofing?? I'm not sure who to contact at Field and Stream? Anyone?

If you get some plastic sheeting, you could glue it in place (using super-glue, epoxy, or rubber cement). That should work.
I second the glue idea. I'd try a very small amount of gorilla glue, and try to fit the patch on the inside, to keep the exterior smooth as possible. If it's a camo pattern, choose something dark for the patch. If you have an old beat up rain suit, you could trim a small patch from the hem, but I think the glue itself could be made to supply the waterproofing with any backing material.
fabric store and get some fabric for something to patch it... id go with glue than reinforce..
If you have a magazine go to the page after the cheers and jeers section. On that page you will find a list of numbers to conatact field and stream.
I find it particularly frustrating to loan equipment and not get it back in the same condition in which I loaned it. That is so aggravating that I've severely limited that practice. You may want to express your disappointment to the individual to whom you loaned the raingear and, if he's worth his salt, he'll repair or replace it. If he isn't, it's an expensive lesson that will eliminate him from the circle of friends and acquaintances to whom you would loan gear in the future.
Dick's field and stream brand (as far as I know) is not related to this company but just there generic brand and there using the name.
