1.0 oz HyperD™

At first I wasn’t sure I liked this material. It was thinner than I expected and slippery when cutting. But, it sewed nicely and because it’s thin it is lightweight. Time will tell how it holds up to use.

HyperD is indeed thin, light, and sturdy, just as described. And very affordable. It's not available in the Netherlands. Ordering is smooth, and delivery is fast. I'm very happy with this company. Thanks, Rene.

Good fabric. Great colors. Used as a liner. Sews well but does fray

I have been ordering from you guys for many years now. I used to do traveling and I would make things that were needed in my day to day life and encounters. I have never to this day had one problem with your company and everything has been as described and received in timely fashion. The prices are going up for products lately, but that is system wide. Thank you for taking this venture and making these products available to the common person. :)

It was nice to see a special sale. Do it again!

Really good product used it for a model rocket parachute which worked well and it was fairly easily to sew.

We had a little run around on the order, but it was all resolved very satisfactorily and faster than I expected. Thank you for making this fabric available. I love it!

I have always gotten good service from RBTR and enjoy their products. My most recent purchase is some black 1.0 oz HyperD. I will make a simple wrap out of it with velcro overlapping at the top, that I can wear in my private pool. I use one now out of 1.9 oz ripstop. It is short, above the knee and works well for the purpose, which is covering if someone happens into the back yard while I am getting in or out, but still feels just about as good as skinny dipping. It does not cover while swimming, so not for normal mixed company swimming. Anyway, the new wrap will be a little below the kneee and lighter. I plan to use it for backpacking. It should be very cool and comfortable and will give a little more coverage for sitting when needed. The short one is not at all suitable for sitting in mixed company. These are also good for maintaining modesty while changing on the trail, or while bathing. It might even make a light sheet on warm nights. The nylon dries almost instantly. The longer one will also be used as a ground cloth for naps. Unconventional, simple, comfortable, useful, inexpensive. And yes, it does get some amused looks on the trail, but I don’t know those people anyway…. Should know next summer how it works for me. This or a more stylish version would be great for women. Big advantage over shorts for potty duties along the trail.

Used this for hunting game bags because it breathes! I was concerned the stitching might rip but it was incredibly strong. I tried the rip a seem apart and it didn’t budge. Then will meat in it, it held up great. The material also washed perfectly clean from all the blood!

I thought I'd try this material since it was on sale. I used 0.9 oz ripstop before for making parachutes for model rockets and it worked well. This material is slightly heavier but works quite good as well.

I made a pair of wind pants with them. The fabric feels nice against the skin. The pants fold down very small and weighs only 2oz. The uncalendared fabric is less shiny than calendared so they look less like a trash bag when worn, and the fabric is opaque. The thin fabric is not easy to sew for someone like me with limited skill but they turned out completely functional and not too bad. I still have 1 yard left and am thinking of making a wrap-around skirt for wearing in town.

Great for stuff sacks and lightweight pouches.

Finished my first sewing project with a 20-30 degree down quilt. The material was awesome to work with. No bunching or feeding problems except perhaps at the corners. The fabric seems extremely durable and is not transparent so was able to use gray down.

I’m so happy with the high quality of everything I purchase from RipStop. Awesome stuff, awesome prices, and great tutorials. (I do secretly wish they would stop putting the sticker on the fabric cuts, though!).

As always RBTR is amazing. I feel that I never fully know what I’m going to get, texture and weight is so hard to convey. This fabric is light, good for bag liners, ultra light stuff sucks, drawstring bag toppers, and I’m sure many other things I can’t think of.

Although I live in the other side of the globe, the items were delivered fast and safe!

I used it to make an ultralight expedition parka, that also doubles as the upper half of my sleeping bag. I found it incredibly light. My project actually weighs less than my target weight this time. As an amateur sewer, I had many un-stitching's and redo's with extra material and extra darts to add - in. The material handled this abused impeccably. It is very light and I used my serrated scissors. I also found I needed to use quality medium weight thread or there would not be enough friction within the stitching.

I ordered some material and thread to create a hammock with my mother. It arrived quickly and resources on the site helped with the project. Could not have been a better experience!

Per RBTR recommendations, I used this fabric to make a hybrid camping quilt/top quilt. I repurposed all of the down from an old mended comforter that finally had to be put to rest. I haven’t field tested it yet, but there is a huge amount of loft and no leakage of down. It’s also super soft.

Order placed December 6, 2020. RBR clearly stated that shipping was going to be slow. It was shipped out December 28. As of Jan 10, 2021, I do not have my order but it still shows in transit. I have been happy with past purchases, so hopefully this will work out.

I picked this to make a lining for a wool/cashmere overcoat I made. I wanted something that would be a little more wind/water resistant than a standard coat lining.

Pros: Incredibly light, soft, and silky. Initially I had chosen the calendared option as I wanted to max out wind resistance but it makes sort of a crackly sound which I knew would annoy me. The uncalendared feels like a nice dress fabric and it wasn’t overly hard to work with. I did experience a little puckering at the seams but that might have been my needle choice. I was working with an 11 because I was out of anything more dainty. Used a traditional garment thread.

Here’s what I didn’t care for: The fabric got really frayed as I was working. Next time I think I would opt for pinking or serging the edges. Also, the burnt orange color is a little lighter than I had hoped. I also found this with the burnt orange option of the .66 oz nylon taffeta which I used to make a coordinating removable primaloft filled liner for the same coat. But perhaps I just have a different vision of burnt orange!

Overall, I am looking forward to seeing how this experiment works this winter. I am also planning on using the same fabric in gray to make an insulated skirt since it is so soft and nice. As always, ordering from Ripstop by the Roll was a pleasure! It’s a great company!
