    We had all but given up on sub 1.0 oz woven fabrics. Then along came MONOLITE...

    Ultralight woven fabrics are great for quilts and garments. But durability can take a nosedive for stressing applications like hammocks and bags.

    MONOLITE was developed to combat this problem. Constructed with a unique monofilament yarn and mesh weave, this fabric has the best durability we've EVER seen for the weight and by a wide margin.

    Used as a woven fabric, it's strong plus much more resistant to snagging and abrasion than fabrics of similar weight (e.g. 1.1 oz Ripstop Nylon). 

    As a mesh, it blows away traditional options like our 0.9 oz Noseeum. It's stronger, way more durable, and insanely breathable with a CFM over 1000 (full data sheet here).

    Whether used as a fabric or mesh, it's stiffer with more structure than your typical ultralight fabric. This makes it a lot easier to sew.

    Lastly, as part of our larger green fabric initiative, 1.0 oz MONOLITE uses a more ECO friendly, C6 DWR (Durable Water Repellant). This gives the fabric water resistance while mitigating the environmental impact. If you're interested in reading more on topic of DWR, check out this article from Patagonia.com.

    Typical applications for MONOLITE include ultralight hammocks, bugnetting, tent screens, stuff sacks, lightweight bags, or garment lining material.

Ultralight Underquilt

This material is amazingly light and smooth to the touch. I made an ultralight underquilt for my hammock using Moroccan blue and white and I'd say it turned out amazing, not only in looks but in weight and feel. It is a bit slippery to sew with but this was my first MYOG project and I'm grateful that having no experience in sewing led to such a great product outcome. Thanks, RSBTR!

Thanks so much Keaton! To help with slippery fabrics, you can try and put a sheet of tissue paper or newspaper under the fabric to help create a little extra grip for the feed dogs. We'd love to see your UL UQ, be sure to tag us on social media!

Excellent water flow

Mesh Hammock Kit is great

My kids are heading to Seabase this year and I made them mesh hammocks to help with the heat. The material was easy to sew and feels nice!

That is an awesome project for the kids! They will definitely sleep much cooler in the MONOLITE hammocks. Good luck to them at Seabase, sounds really fun!

Monolite mesh

I love this fabric. It is see-through as a mesh, light, but very strong. There are many vibrant colors. I made some traveling bags for garment. I made pockets for many bags. I also used it as a lining of a hat to make it cooler. I am going to make some produce bags soon.

Ami, those all sound like awesome projects! MONOLITE is one of our favorite fabrics because of its versatility. We're glad you found so many uses for it. Happy making!

Great service and fabric

1.0 oz MONOLITE is strong, great for a hammock, and very easy to work with. And Ripstop by the Roll is a fabulous company to do business with. Thanks for your quick response!

Thanks so much Peter! MONOLITE is one of our favorites for hammock material and we're glad you also love it! We'd love to see your finished hammock, be sure to tag us on social media.

Fun stuff

I previously used this for a front-pack (map, snacks, spare gloves, etc.) I do not want to trap sweat next to my body. Works good in hot weather. I do not do a lot of winter camping but when I do it will be hold gloves next to my body that am trying to dry out. Just yesterday I replace the add-on side pockets for my arc-blast pack with zipper side pouches. I use them for rain gear and things I want to let dry. Easy to sew and sturdier than it appears

Thanks for the review Doug! We're glad this 1.0 oz MONOLITE worked well for your front pack and side pockets, we'd love to see some photos. Be sure to tag us on social media or email social@ripstopbytheroll.com

1.0 Monolite

I love this stuff. Easy to work with in every respect and I find so many uses for it. Makes for a nice touch and flash of color for end caps on hammocks. I love it for bags for tarps, both larger, airy and neat packaway styles.
A. 93 Membrane tarp neatly packed into a monolite stuff sack is a thing of beauty.

Thanks for the review! This is such a great fabric for ultralight weight hammocks. We are big fans of it here at RBTR, Enjoy!

killer fabric

im using this fabric to make a bug jacket for climbing. regular noseeum mesh will just get torn apart. its a bit slippery when sewing but it is way easier than with noseeum. The fabric is stiff yet very soft on the skin. The color options are awsome too. Great product overall, well done.

What a great DIY project to use with the 1.0 oz MONOLITE mesh. I hope the bug jacket works well and thanks for the review Charles!

Makes Excellent Masks!

I’ve been using this material to make masks for ppl who have difficulty breathing they the more conventional materials. I use the monolith for the outer and inner potion. Then if the person chooses to insert a filter they can and it doesn’t impede their breathing & is very light. One comment someone said about the see through material...it allows others to see when you smile.

What a great use for this fabric, I am so glad it is helpful! And thank you Laura for making for taking the time to help others.

Monolite is What I Came For

I’m using 1oz Monolite for stuff sack sets, and liners for a Cordura project. The material is very easy to work with, and is applicable to waterproof scenarios as well as situations (such as mine) where breathability is needed. With pleats, I think this would make a decent inner liner for a mask. I’d also like to point out that the charcoal gray is very close to black, and matches black Cordura better than the actual black. It also matches Multicam Black much better.

Easy to handle and high quality

I used this fabric for the hammock's integrated bagnet and some staff sacks.
The sewing is very easy and it has the property of being harder to ventilate than noseeum, so it was comfortable to use in winter.
The robust duplication also worked well on staff sacks.
It is also good to see the contents.
It seems that there are more color variations than when I purchased it and I want to use different colors:)

Fantastic

Working with Monolite

My project is an insulated UL Go Pro cover/stuff sack. I ordered Monolite to use as an inside liner, to be pared with DCF 0.34 on the exterior with a middle layer of synthetic insulation. The Monolite has been a good match, I love it's strength to weight ratio. Although it can be a bit slippery to work with, the ripstop pattern is helpful in keeping everything aligned. I have found using pinking shears when cutting helps with keeping raw edges from fraying as much.

testing on pack prototype

I'm currently trialing this fabric for use on a running pack prototype. Some pics of these packs are available on my blog. Durability for this use is still in question, but so far so good. The fabric will fray, so be careful to finish all seams.

Good in the summer and the winter surprisingly

Good in the summer and the winter surprisingly At 260 pounds I’m not a fan of a single layer monolite hammock but the double layer for me is super comfortable and my customers agree the surprising thing is that in the winter time the heat transfer from your body warms the quilts up faster and the material does not feel cold against your skin I’m like hyper day and MTN and takes it a couple minutes to warm up monolite Monolite warms up pretty much Instantly what is a gray added bonus plus it’s super comfortable and it makes a really good bug netting you don’t have to worry about accidentally tearing it, it makes a super strong netting compared to regular noseeum.

Unique material that has new applications

My newest favorite material from RSBTR! This stuff has a few desirable properties, as noted in the description but I'll repeat those here for good measure. Breathable, DWR, lightweight, durable, stiff (for the weight) and transparent. The monofilament gives it a smooth feel when running through your hand but feels course when you rub the fabric against itself between your fingers. So far I've made a hammock and several gear bags of various sizes. It's the blend of weight, durability and transparency that is a winner for me. The transparent property makes for an awesome hammock experience where you feel like you're floating mid-air and you can see your surroundings when lying down. I don't think I can go back to opaque fabric for hammocks - especially at this weight and durability. As for the gear bags - same story. I can see exactly what's in each bag - no more dumping out a bag or fishing around for something. A small detail but a serious convenience.

Other thoughts: Due to its stiffness, I have noticed that it's harder to compress down to a small size. Also, I wish it came in white!

HI Devon, Thanks for the review! The Monolite is a favorite!
