Repacking a Hit Air isn't rocket surgery. Just stuff it back in, redo the snaps and velcro. Re-cocking the firing pin is mildly tricky, but I'm guessing the Helite uses roughly the same mechanism.

The textile on the Hit Air is Cordura nylon. Similar thickness to the body of my Aerostich suit. It's pretty good textile, but it will have tears after a slide. They can be hand-sewn closed (carefully, of course) or use an adhesive patch. Mine's been crashed in twice, and still holds air even if it's starting to look a bit beat up.

Got 2 more CO2 cannisters and an extra tether in the mail today. Ready for next round!
