It’s literally all in the name: this fabric is designed to ‘stop a rip’ if it snags, by catching on the stronger, reinforcing thread. That’s why this unique fabric has a subtle square pattern across its surface.
We recommend sizing up in our Ripstop fabric. Our classic drill fabric gives with washing and wearing, and our lightweight Ripstop will hold its shape. So if your SÜK size in Drill is 16, we recommend a size 18 in Ripstop.
This is often the same fabric weaving technique used for yacht sails, wing suits, army uniforms and hot air balloons - so you know this stuff is the real deal.
