    Not all stretch mesh is created equal.

    Standard stretch mesh fabrics are made out of basic nylon or polyester, with some elastic thrown in to provide the stretch. This is fine, but like everything else, there's always a way to turn "standard" into something far better.

    Venom UL Stretch Mesh ECO is different for two reasons:

    1. 100% Recycled Nylon - This fabric performs better, but it's also more sustainable for the environment. For the first time in a stretch mesh, we're using 100% recycled nylon base yarn produced from pre-consumer waste. Instead of creating more stuff, we're taking what already exists and turning it into something new.
    2. UHMWPE ripstop - Using a UHMWPE ripstop grid takes this stretch mesh from standard to extraordinary with significantly higher abrasion and cut resistance compared to nylon or poly alone. This means less snags, fewer holes, and a longer lifespan wherever you use it.

    Lastly, at a weight of just over 5.0 oz per square yard, it's the lightest, most durable stretch mesh that we offer. Not only us, but it's one of the only stretch materials like it on the market. 

    If you want an environmentally friendly, technical stretch fabric built for applications that require maximum durability and cut resistance, this is your choice.

    Typical uses include backpack pockets, clothing (jackets/pants/etc) pockets, gear bags, etc.

Perfect upgrade

Used this mesh to ADD a stretching pocket to front of existing backpack and another to other backpack. I always wanted to have the option to stuff items into a stretchy pocket found on all the new UL packs. Didnt want to spend 300+ dollars. Loved my current scream 55 bag and simply added a UL pocket to the front. Perfect for the usual items like an extra layer, tent stakes, **** kit, etc. GREAT!!!!

Wicked Cool Fabric

Big fan of the Venom UL Stretch Mesh ECO. Highly durable, malleable, and just enough stretch. Plus it looks cool and compliments everything I've made with it thus far.

We agree! We're glad that you love this material as much as us. Happy Making!

Excellent product

It’s definitely my go to now. You have to use a razor blade to cut it.

We're glad the Venom UL Stretch Mesh ECO is now your go-to, it's a great fabric!

Great for pack pockets!

This stuff sews great and works really well for pack pockets. It has enough stretch but is tough and won’t snag on everything. Highly recommend for your pack!

Thanks for the review Brian! Venom UL Stretch Mesh is an absolute amazing fabric for pack pockets. Super durable and won't tear! Let us know if you need help with anything in the future.

Better than expected

At first I was a bit surprised because this didn't match my concept of mesh - I was thinking more like bug netting. Instead it seems to be a super tough lightweight breathable material that makes for great gaiters.

Thanks Matt! This mesh is certainly different than bug netting but it does its job exceptionally well! This is a great fabric for a multitude of uses, such as strong tear-resistant backpack pouches.

Secret to Cutting Venom Mesh

Love this mesh but it is impossible to cut cleanly with scissors and rotary cutters. Found the secret quite by accident but it gives a clean cut every time. All you need to do is double up your rotary blades. Just stack two blades on the cutter instead of one and you with be amazed at how clean your cut is.

Great tip! Thanks for sharing, I'm sure others will find it useful as well. Enjoy the Venom UL Stretch mesh.

Venom repair a big improvement to this backpack

I replaced a worn out water bottle pocket on my friend’s backpack with one I made of Venom fabric. The fabric cut pretty well with a rotary cutter, just needed to snip a few remaining fibers with scissors. It was mostly hand sewing as I just wanted to open a few seams to sew it in, not take the backpack apart. It was easy to sew and my friend is thrilled.

We always love to hear about gear being repaired to give it new life, thanks for sharing! The Venom water bottle pockets should now last for a very, very long time!

Great mesh

Venom Mesh is a great fabric. Half the weight of the 9 oz dyneema and although not as stretchy as lycra, it works well in any application that you need a stretch fabric. It wears well and can take some abuse. It's a favorite of mine.

We're glad to hear you love the Venom UL mesh as much as we do! Thanks for leaving a review, Al!

Hard to cut, but easy to sew.

It was hard to cut, but easy to sew. So I think it will be durable.

You definitely need sharp scissors when cutting the mesh but it makes for great gear! Enjoy!

Tough as nails!!

I installed Venom UL mesh to the outside of a backpack I made and could not believe how strong it is when I cut it! My sharpest scissors and a new rotary cutter had their work cut out for them. It sews really nicely though and will be a huge improvement over the typical stretch mesh.

Having a sharp or new blade is key to cutting this mesh! It is beefy but once you get through it, it's awesome. A hot knife will also work if you have one in your tool kit. Enjoy!

So far, very cool!

I bought this to do some experimental pockets on a pack I’m building. I have wanted to relocate my water bottle below the pack for ease of grab while walking, but needed something durable enough to bear setting on the ground. I think this may be the ticket!

We are glad you found just the right fabric! We'd love to see your creation, be sure to tag us on social media!

Great alternative to dyneema mesh

I like this stuff. I have put it on several backpacks and people seem to really like it. Cheaper and lighter than dyneema, and also reversible. Well done ripstopbytheroll

Thanks for your review Faison! We're glad to know people are enjoying it on their packs, it's been awesome to hear the feedback on this new fabric, thanks again!

Non-restrictive durable reinforcement.

Lightweight abrasion resistance which will stretch with body movement. It is permeable to air, aiding comfort. Well worth your consideration!

Thank you for leaving a review WIllie! It sounds like you've gotten some good testing done with the Venom UL Stretch Mesh! We'd love to see what you've created with it, here is a link if you'd like to share https://forms.gle/P4EHrfiWJ5kajdrE8

Venom™ UL Stretch Mesh ECO
Is this Mesh not tare able? Do you have a tensile or shear or tare strength numbers for it? Can I secure this material solid and tight on a square tube or even a round tube?
Thanks, Jerry

Ripstop by the Roll

Hi Jerry

If you scroll through the pictures on the product page you will find the data sheet for this product. This data sheet includes all of the data you are looking for, such as tear and tensile strength, as well as much more.

As far as securing it on a square tub or a round tube, I'm not sure exactly what application you have in mind, so I can't give you a solid recommendation for that.

What is your lowest weight tear resistant fabric?

Ripstop by the Roll

Hi Stuart! Tear resistant is a relative term because tear strength is determined by a number of things - yarn type, weave, coating, etc. Ultimately, you should compare the listed tear strength specs between fabrics. You can find all of our current data sheets with tear strength data here:

We don't have data sheets for everything, but we're working on it. Let us know if we can help with anything else!
