Down-Proof Ripstop

This ultra-lightweight ripstop fabric is engineered for down insulation. At just 46 g/m², it is woven from 100% polyamide in a ripstop construction, where a grid of reinforced threads stops small tears from spreading. This gives the fabric high strength relative to its low weight. The dense weave is treated to be down-proof, keeping the feathers securely inside the garment. 

A clear polyurethane coating on the reverse makes the fabric windproof and adds extra protection from moisture. A PFC-free durable water-repellent finish makes water bead up and roll off the surface. Together they protect the down from wind and light precipitation, so it keeps its loft and insulating power. The fabric has a fine ripstop grid and a soft, crinkled texture.
