  • Placing a wholesale order shouldn't be hard, so we made it easy...

    For the first time, order  full rolls of material  straight through the site. No emails, phone calls, or wasted time. And did we mention wholesale pricing? 

    IMPORTANT:

    1) Due to bulk size,  exact shipping costs  will be billed for all roll goods. Once your order is ready, we'll send you a link to pay for shipping. 

    2) Discount codes are  not allowed  for any wholesale purchase. If you use a discount code, the portion applied to any wholesale line item will be added back to the shipping invoice we send you. 

    NOTE - This is a full roll of 1.6 oz Silpoly (125 yds). Looking for smaller amounts? Click HERE  for sales by the yard. 


    1.6 oz silicone coated polyester ripstop (aka silpoly). This fabric is coated with a silicone/PU layer on each side and is waterproof/non-breathable.

    1.6 oz  Silpoly offers higher strength, lower bias stretch, and better puncture/abrasion resistance than our lightweight 1.1 oz Silpoly and ultralight Membrane Silpoly. Best used when you prefer a more robust material over the absolute lightest weight. 

    Same silpoly benefits of lower water absorption  and increased UV resistance compared to Silnylon. Great for projects such as tarps, tents, ponchos, gear sacks, pack covers, or any application where a robust waterproof/windproof fabric is needed.

AWFUL!!!

You sent me 3 lengths of different materials, as requested. None of them was labelled, I asked you for help to identify which material was which, you asked me to send you photos of all 3, which I did, then you responded saying you couldn't tell which was which. You didn't offer a refund, you didn't even offer an apology. Appalling Service!!!

Silpoly

It takes me time to first make something using fabric, then to use it & after that see how it functions. Hence cannot comment. All I can say is that it looks OK.

We completely understand—testing fabric in a real project takes time! We appreciate you sharing your initial impressions, and we’d love to hear how it performs once you’ve had a chance to put it to use.

Thanks for choosing Ripstop by the Roll, and happy making!

Silpoly 1.6 Challenge

The Silpoly 1.6.was a bit of a challenge to sew but I figured things out. With a long straight edge and a white Tailers pencil it got easier. Even with a 1936 Singer model 15 Treadle machine!

Thanks for leaving a review! The lightweight materials can definitely be a bit trickier to sew, but we're glad you got it figured out!

Great Product

Perfect for the outdoor project I'm creating. Its holding up from heavy and even little small twigs from trees during the rain storm. Very lightweight but durable.

Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear that our 1.6 oz Silpoly is working well for your outdoor project. It's designed to be both lightweight and durable for all types of weather conditions. Happy adventuring!

great product

The material works great as a rain proof rain skirt for my husband to use when he backpacks. Since it works so well his friends have asked me to make one for them.

Thanks for the review Sharon! 1.6 Silpoly makes a great rain-skirt and we are glad it works great! Soon you'll be having everyone ask you to make them one. Thanks again!

Silpoly?

Stuff feels good. Haven’t yet had a chance to make a rain coat with it.

Thanks for the review Dennis! We hope when you get a chance to make the rain coat it comes out great. If you need any help feel free to reach out to us!

Better than expected!

Been looking for while for the right stuff to sew a hot tent with, and I have to say i'm way impressed so far. Great fabric at a really great price

1.6 oz Silpoly is a great fabric for tents! We're glad you're happy with your choice and we'd love to see photos of your DIY hot tent! Be sure to tag us on social media

Great stuff

This is some great fabric, strong, even color, right stitching. I like poly due to it's inherent UV resistivity, but I'm sure the nylon would work just as well!

Thanks Matt, there is so much you can do with the Silpoly! Happy Making!

Quality is the best!

I am always impressed with the quality and great customer service at Ripstop.
I have been a tad disappointed in their increased shipping costs.

Thanks for your review Anne. We're glad you are satisfied with the quality and customer service! Unfortunately, the shipping provider costs have gone up to reflect the rising gas prices in 2022. Please remember that we charge at-cost for shipping and these are changes that are being from the shipping providers, we wish it wasn't the case.

Superb! Thanks guys!!!

nice material

Nice material. Packaged and shipped well. A bit too heavy to make a shibumi knock off though. Worked well in moderate winds, but too heavy for lighter days. Turning this into a tarp.

Thanks for the review Tod! The 1.6 oz Silpoly will make a great tarp. We also have 1.1 oz Silpoly that might work better for a lighter sunshade. Contact us at support@ripstopbytheroll for any questions you might have, we're here to help!

12-yard purchase

I am so happy I found this company online! Thank you YouTube for the videos on how to work with ripstop poly and showing another place to order it! No worries about receiving less than desirable cuttings. I actually accidentally duplicated my order and contacted customer service by email right away! Kyle was super efficient and took care of my error. And he followed up to be sure all was ok! Super company. Now I need to figure out what other things to sew to order more product!

Thanks so much for your review Loraine! We're glad you found us and are finding the YouTube videos so helpful. Let us know if you have any questions about future projects or other fabrics we carry. We're here to help!

Very workable fabric

Having used 1.1 silpoly for tarp beaks and the various membrane fabrics for quilts I can safely say that the ease of sewing the 1.6oz silpoly is more than worth any miniscule weight savings you get from lighter fabrics for small items like stuff sacks, drybags, rain skirts, etc. I made a few pack covers for members of our scout troop and rectangle bottom sleep system packing cube for myself. A simple 1.6oz silpoly pack cover is still lighter than most commercially available $20+ options and offers reasonable durability.

Thanks for your review Jody! If you love working with the 1.6 Silpoly we also offer it in custom printing! It would be cool to see the Boy Scout logo or Troop on gear for the scouts! If you have any questions about custom printing or future projects, be sure to reach out to us at support@ripstopbytheroll.com we're here to help!

Great service. Great product.

Good company.

Thank you so much for your review!

I like it

This has a little more structure and strength than 1.1 for not really being noticeably heavier. I think I will use this more, unless I really need the lightest weight (which realistically I don't need.)

Thanks Dan! It's hard to go wrong with the 1.6 oz Silpoly. We'd love to see photos of your finished project, be sure to tag us on social media!

Great! The quality seems great & arrived right on time

Great! Planning to use this as a ground sheet for our new Drop X-Mid 2P Tent. Dan Durston listed out measurements and recommended this fabric. Arrived right on time so we could set up the tent and get it the right size underneath.

Awesome! Thanks for the review Marlee, let us know if you have any questions about future projects!

Perfect!

Was the perfect material for my needs. Very pleased and will buy again

Thanks for your review David! We're glad it's just what you were looking for, Enjoy!

Good stuff

Way easier to sew than the 1.1 oz stuff. If your not super obsessed with counting ounces this stuff is what you want to make a bomb proof easy to sew tarp. I’d imagine the durability is worth the added weight.

Excellent Fabric

Perfect match for my desired application to make a rain fly for my camper - the suggested I.6 silpoly

Silpoly

The fabric is too thin for beauty salon smocks which is what I requested it for.
