Performance Character

This fabric is designed for projects where every gram matters. The mini ripstop structure provides strength and stability, while the mechanical stretch allows better movement than standard non-stretch woven nylon.

The FC0 DWR finish helps shed light rain and moisture, making it suitable for wind-resistant outer layers, emergency shells, climbing hoods, trekking pieces, and compact performance garments.

This is not a heavy waterproof shell fabric and not an insulating material. It is made for ultralight protection, packability, breathability, and movement.
