Square Nylon Ripstop 70 Denier – Coyote – Marquise Collection

Description

Ripstops are woven fabrics, often made of nylon, using a special reinforcing technique that makes them resistant to tearing and ripping. During weaving, thick reinforcement threads are interwoven at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern. In this case it forms a regulated square pattern. Nylon ripstop may be waterproof, water resistant, fire resistant, or have zero porosity (will not allow air or water through). Ripstop fabrics are often used in yacht sails and spinnakers, hot air balloons, kites, parachutes, remote control hovercrafts, camping equipment such as lightweight tents and sleeping bags, swags, flags, banners, and other applications requiring a strong lightweight fabric. They can also be used for windbreakers and water-resistant jackets. Note: This nylon ripstop weights 1.9 oz., has a DWR finish (a water-repellent finish great for rainwear), and contains a Urethane coating.
