Q: Would the material of the bag allow iron on patches to be added?
A: Patches should work since both fabric's are Polyester not Nylon. The DWR coating on the backside of the fabric sometimes make it a bit harder to apply iron on patches. Patches might need a bit more adhesive added. We hope this helps and thanks for contacting JanSport.
