OR Pyro showing signs of wearing at cuffs

I have a Pyro that I bought at the end of last summer (unused older model). It has been serving me well but I am noticing that the material at the cuffs is starting to show signs of wear and is starting to get frayed at the seams. I think the white fleck in the photo is actually the waterproof skin showing through.

Has anyone done anything preventative with wear spots like this? Is there some kind of supper sticky patch or something?

I'm thinkin iron-ons are a little out of the question.

My Pryro has 6 seasons on it and still working well. I have a few small places where the outer woven fabric has worn away, showing the white inner layer, as in your photo. If it's at a seam that has a inner layer of sealing tape over it, I've left it alone. In three places, I've had tiny wear spots at the edge of the inner seam tape - these I've reinforced the worn-away fabric with a dab of Aquaseal ( like Shoe Goo, only a bit thicker ).
