Waterproof Nylon Ripstop Fabric | Ultra-Light 2oz | 60″ Extra Wide

Price range: £0.00 through £86.89 Price Including Tax

Craft top-tier outdoor gear with our highly durable Waterproof Nylon Ripstop Fabric. Constructed from 100% Nylon, this textile features a unique reinforcing grid technique woven directly into the material. This grid stops small punctures from turning into large tears, making it exceptionally resilient against everyday wear and tear.

Not only is this fabric tough, but it is also highly water-resistant, causing water to bead up and roll right off the surface. Despite its strength, it boasts an ultra-lightweight 2 Oz specification, making it one of the most versatile choices for outdoor enthusiasts.

Why Choose Our Ripstop Fabric?

  • Ultra-Lightweight (2 Oz): The exceedingly thin profile adds virtually no weight to your projects, making it the ultimate fabric for camping adventures and airborne crafts.

  • Extra Wide (60″): The generous 150cm width allows you to create large panels for tents or banners with fewer seams.

  • 20 Vibrant Colours: Whether you need a stealthy Olive Green or a highly visible Lime and Orange for safety gear, we have a shade to match your project.

  • Oeko-Tex Certified: Independently tested to be free from harmful substances.

Ideal Uses

  • Airborne Crafts: The 2oz weight is perfect for crafting professional kites, windsocks, and parachutes.

  • Camping & Outdoors: Patching up outdoor tents, making custom lightweight tarps, or creating waterproof sleeping bag covers.

Expert Sewing Tips for Ripstop

  1. Seal Your Seams: While the nylon itself is highly water-resistant, your sewing machine needle will create tiny holes. If you are making a tent or a waterproof coat, you must apply a liquid seam sealer or waterproof seam tape to the inside of your stitches to ensure it remains 100% watertight.

  2. Use Fine Pins or Clips: Because the fabric is tightly woven and waterproof, thick pins can leave permanent holes. Use fine silk pins within the seam allowance, or better yet, use sewing clips.

  3. Needle Choice: Use a sharp, fine needle (like a Microtex 70/10) to pierce the nylon cleanly without snagging the reinforcing grid.
