What is ripstop fabric? The ripstop is a grid woven into the fabric to improve its strength and to help prevent tearing. Ripstop fabrics are generally light weight and are commonly seen in Tents, Kites and Bike bags etc. Heavy duty ripstop fabric is also available, often in a canvas form.

Waterproof ripstop fabric is probably the most common type. The fabric will have a coating applied which acts as a barrier to prevent the liquids passing through.  

Ripstop fabric is a sturdy, durable outdoor fabric that is resistant to rips and tears. Made from polyester or nylon fibers, ripstop fabric is woven in a plain weave style with thick reinforcement threads also being woven into the fabric. This crosshatch pattern of reinforcement threads allows ripstop fabric to be sturdy, durable, and resistant to rips and tears. Ripstop fabric can be further coated to be waterproof, water repellant, UV resistant, and fireproof.
