Ottertex® Polyester Ripstop is a durable yet lightweight fabric designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Made from 100% polyester, it features a PFAS-free FC0 durable water repellent (DWR) finish that helps liquids bead on the surface. The fabric is reinforced with a ripstop grid pattern woven every 1/8 inch, enhancing its resistance to tearing and everyday wear. It is also abrasion resistant and easy to maintain. Measuring approximately 59/61 inches wide, this material is about 0.35 millimeters thick, with a weight of 120 GSM (approximately 3.5 ounces per square yard or 5.9 ounces per linear yard).
Ottertex® Polyester Ripstop is well suited for a variety of applications such as bags, backpacks, lightweight covers, outdoor gear, liners, banners, and apparel accents. Its balance of strength, water repellency, and lightweight construction makes it a practical choice for projects that require durability without excess weight, while remaining flexible and easy to work with for sewing and crafting.
