0.56 oz MEMBRANE 7 Ripstop Nylon

The tittle says it all. It's the best quality price ratio for an outdoor ultralight fabric.

I love the ripstop grid (as opposed to smooth taffeta nylon) and this Moroccan blue colour. It may not be much wind-stopper and somewhat fragile. I have also purchased the 10D version. Colour is identical, grid slightly different. More resistant to wind (tried difference blowing through with mouth). Used 7D nylon for UL quilt lining. Gorgeous and so smooth on the skin! Used it also as down jacket outer. To be worn preferably under a wind or rain jacket.

Made an ultralight down quilt as my first MYOG/learn to sew project with membrane7. When it first arrived it was terrifying bc it feels and looks like slick tissue paper… but wow am I blown away at the durability. I’ve painted it with acid dye, steam set, washed, and wrung out (all twice). Tore at it with my teeth and was only able to get a small hole after a lot of force on a canine (don’t ask), and also hit it with hurricane force winds as I used the vacuum method to fill it with down. Will be using the extra for some down booties and maybe an anorak

Came out great and I am amazed at how light and compact it becomes but at the same time it guards my investment in my quilt on my hammock and gives me a little more margin of protection in warmth.

Made an underquilt protector and this product was the perfect solution for it. Highly wind and water resistant, yet still breathable. I originally made one out of 1.1 silpoly but had a condensation issue within 30 minutes of use in temps in the upper 20s (F). It was enough condensation that I had to remove it for fear that it would compromise the insulation ability of the down in the underquilt. I used this one for three nights down to 4 degrees (F) and it not only gave me a nice bump in the insulation abilities of the underquilt by cutting out the wind, there was zero condensation present each morning.
