We recommend ripstop fabric as lining in our Gore-Tex fabric. 

The main difference between shiny and matte ripstop is the finish, not the base ripstop weave itself; shiny ripstop has a smooth, polished surface that reflects light and enhances color.

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.

Due to the different color variations of each monitor and mobile device, we cannot guarantee the color will exactly match what you see online.
