What is Ripstop?

Brand: Discovery Fabrics

Price: 9.5 CAD

Ripstop Nylon is a woven fabric. It uses a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. Ripstop "stops the rip". During weaving, reinforcement yarns are interwoven at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern.

What is Silnylon?

We carry many colors of silicone treated ripstop, known by many as Silnylon. However, the style we carry is 1.4 oz/sqyd or about 50 gsm and we include this weight in the color name.

The silicone coating on these styles is called Soar Coat.

Soar Coat Parachute Fabric

What is Soar Coat Parachute fabric?

Soar Coat parachute fabric is treated with silicone on both sides. It has zero porosity and is used in the manufacture of parachutes. As we did not purchase this fabric directly from the manufacturer, we cannot provide any certification for the batch. While we can not see any flaws, out of an abundance of caution we recommend it for other uses. Soar Coat Parachute fabric first quality typically sells for around $18 per yard. We have priced our stock accordingly.

Silnylon makes great stuff sacks or backpack covers. Although we don't consider Silnylon to be very breathable, its still used by many to make temporary lightweight raincoats. We were particulary impressed with the Ultralight Windshell pattern by Learn MYOG. It incorporates windflaps for breathability.

The Stretch Ripstop style we carry is currently available in sage color only. It is not Soar Coat, or Silicone coated.

If you are looking to make a very breathable rain shell, we recommend Polartec Neoshell.
