We recommend ripstop fabric as lining in our Gore-Tex fabric.
Ripstop is typically used in making products for the outdoors.
It can be used as a reinforcing fabric in products or clothes made to be worn in extreme conditions.
Ripstop is ideal for tactical use—especially in situations where a tear develops while the wearer has no way to change clothes.
It is also a great choice for backpacks, sports clothing, and some kinds of luggage.
Ripstop is a strong durable fabric that is surprisingly light in weight and smooth.
How to sew Ripstop: The fabric comes with minor challenges, but easily overcome them with a few tricks:
- Use sharp scissors or a rotary fabric cutter to reduce fraying of the nylon. Nylon tends to fray when cut to size for your project.
- Keep the fabric tight by pulling the fabric on both sides of the needle instead of trying to pull the fabric through.
- Never pin ripstop nylon. Consider using double sided tape versus straight pins to keep your fabric from slipping as you sew or a glue stick.
- Don’t be afraid to burn your edges or seams for a sturdy seal. Always exercise extreme caution when attempting this technique.
- Practice your stitch! Zigzag stitches help keep your seams from breaking when a stretch to the fabric occurs.

We strive for excellence in our products and customer service, but some imperfections may occur with fabric.
Please note that stains, holes, or blemishes within 3 inches (10 cm) of the edge are considered acceptable. Missing or pulled knit stitches on the wrong side of the fabric that do not distort the face are also considered acceptable. Additionally, fabric cut at 1 to 3 cm from the edge is acceptable.
