i agree, but i think the argument is to reduce the reach.

lol dude you cant say "the whole thing is basically trash", and then follow it up with "I can find a patch and sew it up". The fact that your first instinct is to throw it away before repairing tells me that your username is performative. You're doing exactly the opposite of basic existentialism. To make the choice to not repair and to throw the entire garment away is what "Big Onsie" wants. In fact, throwing away any clothing before repairing is what "Big Fabric" wants; to be stuck in an endless consumer cycle. Throwing away perfectly good items because your infected mind can't think without their anti-repair rhetoric repeating over and over to just BUY. Break out of the matrix dude, repair your onsie. Even if you don't repair it, think about total % of coverage and waterproofness. I bet your knees would still be dry. Hell I bet your shoulder, dare I say your WRIST would still be dry after that elbow onsie malfunction. Many ways to repair, get some adhesive ripstop nylon for tents, duct tape, tuck tape, sock tape, scotch tape. The possibilities are actually endless. Make sure to get a hair dryer and to heat the tape up so the adhesive penetrates the fabric. Old trick I learned back in 'nam.

for what ever reason this bike is giving me big Mr.Burns vibes.

pretty much that
