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.

Sold by the Yard. For example, enter a quantity of "3" to receive three linear yards of material, measuring three yards (108") in length by the listed width of the material (check specs tab).

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

Lightweight and waterproofed as advertised. Customer services is great and responds to questions quickly

Thanks Jimmy! We're glad the fabric and customer service met your expectations, Enjoy!

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!
