You tear, but you don't tear

Founded during the War and surviving to this day, Ripstop is simply synonymous with resilience, and more. This fabric is made by a special method, thanks to which its strength is radically increased. So what exactly is the magic of Ripstop?

Thicker warp, and sometimes weft, threads are woven into the standard thin fabric spaced at about five to eight millimeters apart. Fibres of different thicknesses, different weaving densities and their crossings are used, which gives the material a rugged structure. Thanks to this, it gains greater strength, overall durability and also its characteristic appearance. At first glance, you will see a square, diamond or hexagonal grid in it. The uneven thickness of the fabric is simply visible or you could even find it by touch.

Fibres with greater thickness not only ensure the strength of the material - they also form boundaries for possible rips or tears, which, due to them, don’t increase. Which is not the end of the benefits of Ripstop: the thinner interiors of the grid fields also save on total weight and also perform a water and wind repellent function.

Thanks to this excellent ratio of the weight of the fabric to both stability and high tear strength, Ripstop fabric is suitable not only for clothing, but for all products where such qualities of long durability and resistance to abrasion and mechanical tearing are deemed necessary.

Typically, today Ripstop is made from polyamide yarns under the trade name Ripstop-Nylon, but also in combination with aramid fibres, polyester, polypropylene or real silk.

In our catalogue of proper BUSHMAN clothes and accessories, you will most often find Ripstop in 100% cotton products.

Ripstop materials are more expensive due to more complex production methods, but they do bring many advantages:

• • lower base weight of the material and thus of the final product

  • high resistance to mechanical damage

  • elimination of tear or rip spreading

  • naturally light water and wind repellent function

That's why all US military camouflage clothing is sewn from Ripstop fabrics. Which BUSHMAN products can you experience Ripstop by yourself?
