The tissue is replaced by a more or less distinct " computational box structure ". In previous ripstop fabrics these threads stood out from the surface, not so common in the meantime newer web technologies.

Advantages of rip-stop fabrics are the very good Gewichts-/Stabilitätsverhältnis and tear strength. The most important fiber that is processed into ripstop fabric is polyamide, trade name nylon fabric made ​​from it is called ripstop nylon. But polyester and aramids are processed into ripstop fabric.

Ripstop place (for example, polyurethane or provided with various silicone ) coatings application in tent building, as a material for kites, parachutes, paragliders, sailing (hence also known as " Spinnaker Nylon" ), air Aprons by (sports) air -cushion vehicles ( hovercraft ) and propagated - in most cases thicker, but softer versions - in other sport equipment such as clothing or backpacks.
